African slavery was already in practice when Europeans first arrived to purchase slaves in the early 16th century. Warring African tribes and factions often enslaved prisoners of war, or invaded enemy villages to kidnap and enslave villagers.

Though some slaves were sold to the European continent, the majority were shipped to colonies in the New World for labor.
Most were obtained by buying them from African chiefs. The policy of enslaving defeated enemies was common, and some tribes used them in trade. The demand for slaves led to the expansion of this activity in some areas of Africa.
