Slavery and the slave trade in Africa continue to this day. The African slave trade existed prior to the arrival of Europeans and is known to be responsible for slavery in Northern Africa as well as for exporting millions of Africans as slaves to Middle Eastern countries as well as to Asia and the Americas. The United States of America specifically banned African (and any other form of) slavery over a century ago.
African slavery often involved different systems and practices compared to European slavery. In many African societies, slavery could be more flexible, with some enslaved individuals being able to integrate into the family or community and potentially gain freedom. European slavery, particularly in the Americas, was characterized by racial chattel slavery, where individuals were considered property for life, and their offspring inherited that status. Additionally, European slavery was driven by economic exploitation on a massive scale, particularly in plantation economies, whereas African forms of slavery were often tied to local social structures and warfare.
Slavery for Africans, particularly in the context of the transatlantic slave trade, lasted for several centuries, beginning in the late 15th century and continuing until the 19th century. The trade involved the forced transportation of millions of Africans to the Americas, where they were subjected to brutal conditions and labor. While the transatlantic slave trade officially ended in the 19th century, slavery in various forms persisted in some regions long after abolition. Overall, the impact of slavery has had lasting effects on African societies and the diaspora.

No, Europeans were not the first to trade Africans as slaves. The practice of slavery existed in various forms within African societies long before European involvement, with some African states engaging in the capture and trade of slaves among themselves. However, the transatlantic slave trade initiated by Europeans in the 15th century significantly expanded the scale and brutality of slavery, as millions of Africans were forcibly taken to the Americas for labor. This trade would have lasting impacts on African societies and the world.
The Europeans didn't subdue African into slavery. They did it for themselves. The more powerful African tribes and nations subdued the less powerful nations and tribes into slavery. The Europenas , Portuguese, Spanish, French, Dutch & British, bought these slaves from their African slave masters, then shipped them over to the Americas.

It was the African tribes who used to fight each other and sell their own "unwanted" members of their tribes. This was the earliest form of "Slavery".
The African slaves were not allowed to drink clean water, fall in love, eat good amount of food and worked long hours for no pay.
