What role did Africans play in the slave trade?

When the Dutch trading ships started showing up in Africa, warring tribes started capturing and selling their neighbors rather than killing them. Many of the Africans would have been killed if it hadn't been for the slave traders Resources were scarce, so often tribes would compete for the limited food resources that were produced by the land. Many of the traders asked, "Why kill a competitor if you can get food or goods in exchange for a capable worker?

By many, slavery was considered to be worse than death. Their enemies had sold them into a fate that caused more harm to more people than if they had continued with their old methods. It was definitely a low point in human history they used African slaves to work off their debt and to work on big plantations for rich white farmers.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
