African kings sold slaves to the Portuguese and the Dutch primarily for economic gain. They engaged in the transatlantic slave trade as a means to acquire European goods, such as firearms, textiles, and other commodities, which were valuable in their own societies. Additionally, the demand for labor on plantations in the Americas created a lucrative market for enslaved individuals, incentivizing African leaders to participate in the trade. This complex interaction was shaped by both local power dynamics and the broader forces of European colonial expansion.

What were African kings given in exchange for the slaves?

african kings were given many things in thier manipulation of humans during times of slavery, although africans seem to be a victim of slavery they were not actually slaves at all, in the colonies of america africans were an insurgent sent by african kings disguised as slaves to get close to the homes of colonists and there wives and daughters, this went on many years before the colonies in many nations and peoples, but the most prevalent victim in this action is the peolpe referred to as white, as these women were traded by low moraled deceitful people for many things over time, living under an almost constant threat of murder rape and incarsseration(captivity) under the cloak of governments these vile human beings have continued this trade even to this day at the request of thier constituants regardless of the age of the female victim who almost always behaves in a way that you would think its what she wants only to keep form being beaten or killed.

How did the European get the African slaves?

Europeans, (Portugese, Spanish, French, Dutch and English) sailed south along the West African coast, to places like Sierra, Leone, or Nigeria. In these places , they came into contact with the local kings and tribal chiefs. These local kings and tribal chiefs had alrerady enslaved black African people. The Europeans just purchased these slaves and shipped them to the Americas. Hence the large proportion of black Americans. NB Historically, there has never been a culture of slavery in Europe. The Slave Trade was just businessmen making a profit. NNB Great Britain passed the Abolition of Slavery Act in 1833, thirty years before the American Civil War. The Abolition of Slavery Act was an attempt on the British parliament to stop the slave trade.

What are the orgins of the African slave trade?

The African slave trade was actually started as early as 869 when Muslim traders sold items to the Africans and the African kings actually traded with their own people! But what most people think about the African slave trade and the southern states in the United States comes much later. The Dutch were the first people to transport slaves to North America, but black slaves have already been sold around the world. Contrary to people's belief, the Dutch did not really have to use force to get the slaves, instead all they had to do was contact the king of the tribe and just as the Muslim traders had done, just pay the king and he would give you his people. These are numbers that I have found that show an estimate on how many slaves were sold to these major countries. Portugal/Brazil: 4,650,000 Spain: 1,600,000 France: 1,250,000 Holland: 500,000 Britain: 2,600,000 U.S.A.: 300,000 Denmark: 50,000 Others: 50,000 Total: 11,000,000
