No. The Africa did not know slavery. But suprissingly there were the coastal indians Chinokees (on the North of West America) who had slaves. (They were often killed during the potlatches.)
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.
The institution of African slavery evolved through a combination of factors such as the transatlantic slave trade, European colonialism, and the demand for labor in the Americas. Initially, Africans were enslaved by other Africans, but the transatlantic slave trade facilitated the mass transportation of Africans to the Americas to work on plantations. This system of forced labor became entrenched in the economies of European colonies and later the United States, shaping the institution of slavery as it is known today.
Three causes of modern slavery in Africa are poverty, lack of education, and political instability. These factors contribute to vulnerability and exploitation of individuals, leading to various forms of slavery such as forced labor, human trafficking, and child labor.
Estimates suggest that there are still millions of people living in conditions of modern slavery in Africa. However, exact numbers are difficult to determine due to the clandestine nature of modern slavery and the challenges in data collection. Efforts are being made by various organizations to address this issue and combat modern slavery in Africa.
In Africa today, slavery exists in forms such as forced labor, human trafficking, and debt bondage. Vulnerable populations, including women and children, are often targeted by traffickers who exploit them for labor or sexual exploitation. Efforts are being made to combat modern slavery through awareness campaigns, law enforcement, and support for victims.

Africa did not develop like Europe due to a combination of factors including colonization, exploitation of resources, slavery, and the impact of colonial borders that divided ethnic groups and disrupted traditional societies. These historical events and structures have contributed to the disparities in development between Africa and Europe.
In the United States, the institution of slavery was formally abolished with the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution on December 6, 1865.
