They were seen unequal so the enslaved those fools
Prior to 1440, slavery was not primarily associated with Africa. Markets like Salaga in Ghana were well known hubs of human trafficking and drew traders from Mali and Northern Africa to participate. At this time, slavery was considered normal and a very lucrative economic sector.
It was the African tribes who used to fight each other and sell their own "unwanted" members of their tribes. This was the earliest form of "Slavery".

Slavery existed in African trade long before europeans arrived
Slavery in pre-colonial Africa was diverse and varied across different regions. In some societies, slaves were assimilated into the community and could rise to positions of power, while in others they were used for manual labor. Slavery was often a result of warfare, debt, or punishment, and slaves could be traded both within Africa and with neighboring regions.
Slavery existed in Africa before Europeans arrived, with various indigenous societies practicing forms of servitude or slavery. The transatlantic slave trade, which involved the mass forced migration of Africans to the Americas, was initiated and perpetuated by European nations beginning in the 15th century.
Before Europeans were involved, a much smaller percentage of the African population was enslaved every year. Arab traders carried black slaves to various places in the Arab World to sell them, but a lot fewer were sold than would be sold later. Somehow the local African governments kept the situation under control so that the sale of slaves did not interfere with farming or roads. It did not wreck society. Apparently, excess population was sold. After Europeans became involved, slavery wrecked society.
Africa was peaceful and mostly everybody was happy before slavery for example kids running around enjoying themselves, beautiful fabric made jewellery being produced lots of art work...but until it happened ...Europeans kidnapped all the families people even kids
Africans were enslaving each other long before Europeans got into the act, if that's what you're trying to ask. A significant number of slaves transported from Africa to the New World were purchased from other native Africans.

No, slavery existed in Africa before Portuguese traders arrived. However, the transatlantic slave trade expanded the scale and brutality of slavery in Africa.
No, sugar did not cause slavery. Slavery existed long before the United States existed, or the Americas were discovered by Europeans. In fact, slavery existed long before the European countries existed.
The aboriginal people practised slavery for perhaps thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans.
