Explanation:
Slave trade began in the then French colony, South Africa to overcome shortage in labor at the plantations. A triangular trade was started between 'Europe', 'Africa' and 'America' for the same reason. It began in the year 1788.
They bought the slaves from 'local chieftains' and then sold them to the plantation owners. They were 'kidnapped' from their villages and were then shipped to be sold as a slaves.
