The treatment of slaves by Europeans was often marked by extreme brutality and dehumanization, characterized by harsh conditions on plantations, physical violence, and a complete denial of basic human rights. In contrast, while other Africans also engaged in the practice of slavery, the treatment varied significantly; some enslaved individuals were integrated into households and retained certain rights, though they still faced oppression. Overall, the scale and severity of European enslavement practices, particularly during the transatlantic slave trade, were notably more severe than those typically experienced under other African systems of servitude.

Slaves owned by Africans were sometimes given more rights, better treatment, and opportunities for integration into society, such as the possibility of marrying into the owner's family or achieving freedom. In comparison, slaves owned by Europeans were often subjected to harsher conditions, faced higher levels of brutality, and had limited chances for social mobility or freedom.
While treatment of slaves by Europeans was dehumanizing and brutal, African slave owners also mistreated slaves through practices like forced labor and physical abuse. However, some African societies had more complex relationships with slaves, including opportunities for social mobility or integration into households. Overall, the treatment of slaves varied across different African societies and was not uniform.
Europeans justified using Africans as slaves by dehumanizing them, believing they were inferior and lacking civilization. They portrayed Africans as exotic, savage, and uncivilized people who needed to be civilized through slavery. This allowed Europeans to exploit Africans for labor and economic gain without guilt.
