African rulers played a large part in the supply of slaves for the slaving captains to buy to take over the Atlantic. Without those African rulers supplying slaves, the Transatlantic slave trade would not have been nearly so big. Don't forget that slavery still goes on in many parts of the world, but not the Transatlantic slave trade.

It was a terrible thing called the slave trade. Africans were stolen from their families by other Africans, who then marched them to the cost and sold them to European slave traders. The Europeans loaded the slaves on to ships and sent them off to the New World.

The Atlantic slave trade did not benefit Africans. It led to the forced removal of millions of Africans from their homes, families, and communities, resulting in immense suffering, loss of life, and disruption of societies. The slave trade primarily benefited European and American slave traders, plantation owners, and industries that were built on the exploitation of enslaved Africans.

Race played a significant role in the African slave trade as it was largely based on the belief of white superiority over black individuals. Europeans justified enslaving Africans by labeling them as inferior due to their race, which allowed for the systematic exploitation and forced labor of millions of Africans. This racial ideology perpetuated the dehumanization and mistreatment of enslaved individuals throughout the slave trade.
Fellow Africans were involved in the slave trade for various reasons, including profit, political power, and as a result of intertribal conflicts. European involvement also incentivized some African leaders to participate in the trade.
