Africans signed into slavery to avoid fighting in the war... so I heard
Warfare in Africa during the later 18th century significantly contributed to the slave trade by creating a cycle of conflict and capture. Rival tribes and kingdoms often engaged in battles, leading to the enslavement of defeated populations. These captives were then sold to European traders, who facilitated the transatlantic slave trade. Additionally, the demand for slaves fueled further conflicts, as groups sought to capture individuals to sell, perpetuating the cycle of violence and exploitation.
The slave trade became a motivation for war in Africa as various groups sought to capture and sell individuals to European traders, leading to conflicts over territory and resources. African kingdoms and tribes engaged in raids and warfare to acquire slaves, which were highly valued in the transatlantic trade. This competition often resulted in the destabilization of societies, increased violence, and the destruction of communities, as the demand for slaves fueled hostilities and alliances. Ultimately, the slave trade not only enriched some African leaders but also contributed to significant social and political upheaval across the continent.
In the years following the Civil War, ships of the Africa Squadron were tasked to suppress the transatlantic slave trade. This squadron, part of the United States Navy, patrolled the West African coast to intercept slave ships and enforce anti-slavery laws. Their efforts aimed to curb the illegal trafficking of enslaved individuals, reflecting the United States' commitment to ending slavery and promoting human rights in the post-war era. The work of the Africa Squadron contributed to broader international efforts against the slave trade during the late 19th century.

European slave traders captured slaves in Africa during the transatlantic slave trade.

I gotta nut so bad.
The sudden growth of the slave trade in the seventeenth century greatly impacted both Europe and Africa. In Europe, it fueled economic expansion, particularly in maritime nations like Portugal, Spain, and England, as profits from the trade contributed to the rise of capitalism and colonial ventures. Meanwhile, in Africa, the trade exacerbated social and political instability, leading to increased warfare and the disruption of communities as local leaders engaged in the capture and sale of enslaved individuals. This also contributed to demographic changes and long-term socio-economic challenges within African societies.
The three immediate effects of the slave trade on Africa were the loss of millions of people who were forcibly taken away, destabilization of societies due to the disruption of families and communities, and increased warfare and violence as African kingdoms sought to obtain captives to exchange for goods.
