Africans were selling slaves to each other way before European colonization it's just that africans did not treat their slaves like chattel.
Were they trading slaves with the settlers along the coast, or only to other Africans?
look slavery is as African as drums and it is perfectly logical to assume that Africans always practiced slavery just like everyone else. This practice of slavery was of course made worse by the arrival of Europeans but really i think if you look at the cultural practices of some of the African nations it becomes clear that slavery was practiced among African people before the coming of outsiders
