Originally, it was the Scottish that were used as slaves, but when the slave escaped, they looked like every other european. By using African slaves, it was easier to differentiate.
Actually there are recorded documents that show that the Native Americans did buy slaves from slave traders, the Cherokee for example were known to buy slaves (African & American slaves). While this was not large scale slavery as practiced by the American's it did exist.
they did not buy slaves they just made people slaves
I am no history major, but from what i understand slaves were not generally bought. they were captured. there were some tribes that would sell their slaves they had captured from other tribes, but usually by the slaves were caught by the slave hunters. who would transport them to their markets. the golden triangle as it was called back in the gunboat deplomacy days was when a trader would sell opium in china, go to Africa and capture slaves and then after selling the slaves in America buy molassess and head back to England.

They bought them at slave markets and also bread them; children of slaves were regarded as slaves.
European colonists bought Africans for slave labor due to the need for cheap labor to cultivate cash crops, such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, in the colonies. Africans were seen as physically capable and resistant to diseases like malaria, making them desirable as laborers. The transatlantic slave trade also provided economic benefits to European merchants and planters.
No, because it's not fair for the other African Americans to be controlled by other experienced slaves.
Many European countries traded with the local population guns for slaves.

Plantation owners preferred African slaves over indentured servants because slaves were seen as a more permanent and cost-effective labor source. Slaves were considered property for life, providing long-term labor stability, while indentured servants worked for a defined period before gaining freedom. Additionally, racial prejudices and laws made it easier to control and subjugate African slaves compared to European indentured servants.
Africans were generally able to hide from or defend themselves against Europeans. [APEX]
The European factors worked along the coast of Africa acting as middlemen who arranged to buy slaves and traded them for other goods.

Slavery was a common feature of intertribal warfare among primitive peoples around the world, in both the new world and the old. You would defeat your enemy in battle and take captives, bringing them home as slaves. Those slaves or sometimes their children were usually integrated into the community and became full members, and the living conditions of masters and slaves were usually very similar. In the case of the African slave trade, European merchants offered high prices for slaves at African coastal trading centers, and local African merchants cashed in on this, traveling inland to buy recently captured slaves and then driving them to the coast for sale to European slave traders. This trade created a cash incentive for the more aggressive tribes to mount slave raids against their neighbors, seriously disrupting society far inland from the coastal slave markets.
I would reccomend poorer African countries like Ethiopia because they offer reasonable prices.
They would set up auctions, most often in the local town squares.
The trading of African slaves, needed for cheap labor, for goods such as molasses, cotton, and whiskey, between the American Colonies (and later the United States) and the European and African powers. The flow of slaves to goods to money to slaves was conducted in a shipping triangle .
