Worth keeping in mind that European colonization of the Americas and the resulting demand for plantation labor created an unprecedented market for slaves. Slave trading would have existed in West Africa regardless, yes, but never anywhere near the scale Europeans brought about.

I have watched and recorded two episodes of Slave Routes on
@AlJazeera and two years ago spent some time in the Liverpool museum of slavery at Albert Docks. Slavery was a massive stone cold business enterprise that stole generations from Africa. We have not recovered since. -
They never stopped Albert. 60yrs after independence we r just beginning to realise we thought we won a war but truth is Africa never understood the rules of engagement. Now they sponsor wars, manufacture weapons & sell them to us and pretend to be mediators whilst looting. DRC

Not the same thing at all! African slaves in Africa were more like indentured servants. They could marry in the family and own property, become part of the family etc.

My understanding was that various tribes would essentially sell their POWs to these traders.

Africans (sons of Ham) sold Israelites (sons of Shem, aka Negros). Europeans aren't ALL the same so why folks think so of Blacks.
