Yes slavery did exist in Africa prior to the presence of slavery in the Americas. Anyone who was banished from their community, any who were caught committing a crime or any prisoners of war were enslaved. Slaves were looked upon, not as property, but as investments that helped contribute toward the success of their owner's plantation. Some were eventually accepted into the family as extended relatives, and some had the hard labor jobs that the Americas were known for.
