In fact, It was Africans that enlsaved their own people. They were constantly fighting territorial wars in the 17 & 1800's, and winners enslaved the people they conquered. They always had more slaves they could use, and if they couldnt sell them, they just killed them.

Slaves brought to America were purchased from these warlords, and recieved FAR better treatment than their former owners would have ever given them. The ones bought by Americans were the lucky ones.
