Who do you think enslave the africans!? The Europeans bought the slaves on the coast of Africa!. The strongest African warrior tribes, enslaved the weaker ones!. Those stronger tribes sold the slaves they didn't want to the Arabs, who in turn sold them to the europeans, when the europeans became a client!. Keep in mind 12 million Africans were shipped to the New World!. Only 4 million arrived in North America, and the rest went to South America, mainly Brazil!. There has been slavery for thousands of years, The Greeks enslaved, and the Romans enslaved, and The Vikings enslaved!. The Native American tribes also enslved, the women and children of a weaker tribe!.

Unfortunately, slavery still exists !. Mostly in Arab and north African countries,Www@QuestionHome@Com

They had equal resources, but not equal technology!. also to some degree, the Africans themselves traded in slavery, meaning that one tribe did assist in raiding another tribe and having that tribe sold into slavery!. We often think of Europeans raiding african camps, but for the most part this did not happen in large scale!. Rather one tribe won a battle or skirmish against another and sold the human treasure to slave markets which were often operated or at least frequented by Europeans!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

If they had EQUAL RESOURCES!. Definitley NOT!
The slavery that happened to african-america people was one of the most disgustingest thing in history!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's an easy question to answer!. In recorded history there have been many countries that enslaved people from another country and never were the people who were enslaved as well armed as their captors!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
