Some European colonizers and slave traders believed that enslaving Africans and bringing them to the Americas provided them with better living conditions and opportunities than what they perceived to be available in Africa. This justification was used to rationalize the brutal exploitation and forced labor of enslaved Africans.
Slaves generally did not view slavery positively; they experienced it as a brutal and dehumanizing system that deprived them of their freedom and basic human rights. Many slaves longed for freedom and revolted against their enslavement whenever possible. Ultimately, slavery was a form of exploitation that oppressed and marginalized the enslaved individuals.
John Locke believed that slavery violated the natural rights of individuals to life, liberty, and property. He argued that all individuals are born equal and free, and that no one has the right to enslave another person. Locke's views on slavery contributed to the later abolitionist movement.
According to Plato, the meaning of life is to seek knowledge, pursue truth, and strive for wisdom. He believed that individuals should devote themselves to self-improvement, contemplation of the Forms, and ultimately the pursuit of virtue and the good. Plato thought that the purpose of life is to align oneself with the ultimate reality and to live in accordance with justice and harmony.
It was because the people of Africa were strong and beautiful. The traders saw them and thought they would be better slaves and easy labor to get. Some also believed that they were giving the black slaves a better life in a colonized world and giving them religion and a chance and "life". It is also said that some of the slave owners quoted, "Once a black man, always a black man. You can never lose a black slave."
The person that thought slavery was an improvement over life in Africa was Governor George McDuffie. He also believed that slavery was the will of God.

More Africans were in America or captured and taken to America than in Africa.

The first slave arrived in 1619. It isn't so much so who started it, but the fact that slavery was in the colonies by 1619. Slavery was considered a natural part of life in this time and no one thought of it as wrong.
Life was kind of hard because they split from the northern colonies because the wanted slavery and they thought that Abraham Lincoln was going to make it illegal
