Answer:
Methods of Capturing African Slaves
When considering the slave trade, most people think of Europeans kidnapping, transporting and enslaving Africans in the Americas. The slave trade actually existed before this -- in the 14th century, Africans and Europeans both enslaved the weaker and poorer people of their own nations. When the Europeans turned to Africa to capture slaves there, they used the same methods used by Africans on their own people -- raids, war, and trade.
The slave trade existed in Africa in several forms before Europeans arrived. Richer, more powerful African nations would enslave weaker ones, such as the Egyptians, who raided neighboring African societies for slaves over 3,500 years ago, according to the Microsoft Encarta Online Encyclopedia. When Africans took other Africans into slavery, it was by force or through financial superiority. African slaves in Africa lived as indentured servants would in America. These slaves could work for their freedom and were paid meager wages for food, housing and essential items.
