Why did European slave traders not have to capture slaves in west Africa themselves?

European slave traders did not have to capture slaves in West Africa themselves because they established trade relationships with local African leaders and groups who conducted the capture and sale of slaves. These local intermediaries would often raid neighboring communities or conduct warfare to acquire captives, whom they sold to European traders in exchange for goods such as textiles, firearms, and alcohol. This system allowed European traders to profit from the slave trade without directly engaging in the violent and complex processes of capture and transportation.
