The reason it was called this was because of the trade route used for slavery.

Why did the rules of Africa sell their own people into slavery?

Well they didn't usually. People taken for the slave trade were from unorganized tribal villages on the African coast, easy pickings for slave traders.

Why was Africa the place for slaves?

Due to its low level of culture, and due to the natural strength of the black people.============================================When slaves were taken from Africa to America, it is important to remember that slavery was endemic across the WHOLE world. Slavery has been a pat of human culture since ancient times and did not only apply to black people. In Roman times most slaves were white and came from Europe.The particular slave trading that took black people to America was one of convenience and need. There was a triangle of ship travel from Europe laden with manufactured goods to exchange for slaves in Africa (slaves sold into slavery by black people). Across to America where the slaves were sold to work in sugar or cotton plantations (because there were not enough people there to do the work). Then back to Europe laden with Sugar and Cotton, to sell for money.
