Did slaves willingly participate in the slave trade?
On a management level- yes! Tribal chiefs ( who were Blacks) used the slave merchants ( White0 as a sort of clearinghouse to dispose of prisoners, tribal outcasts, and the like , they were financially compensated for this. The Blacks were in part- dumped into the slave system by other BlACKS. Another oddity- for the most part, Major religious bodies ignored the whole Slave Trade as more or less a necessary evil ( like, perhaps capital punishment)- and did not preach or come out with Encyclicals on the institution itself., Individual ministers, yes, organized denominations- but rarely. As far as I know no Pope ever condemned the practices of Slavery!
