Why did the rules of Africa sell their own people into slavery?

Well they didn't usually. People taken for the slave trade were from unorganized tribal villages on the African coast, easy pickings for slave traders. The people were simply forcibly abducted, then taken to market overseas to be sold. Although, now I'm wondering why after a couple of years of this the people just didn't move inland! Maybe they did...


What is the differences between African and European slavery?

African slavery primarily involved the enslavement of individuals through capture in warfare or as punishment for crimes, with slaves often having some rights. European slavery, on the other hand, was based on race and involved the transatlantic slave trade, where Africans were forcibly taken to the Americas to work on plantations with no rights or freedoms. Additionally, African slavery existed within African societies, whereas European slavery was imposed on Africans by European colonizers.
