1·13 days agoEgypt didn’t invade other countries to hijack half its population and use it as cattle on their farms. Mansa Musa had slaves as far as the term slavery goes but they had some rights and weren’t used as literal machine cattle. Their children had freedom etc. This is nowhere comparable to how slaves were treated in the trans-atlantic slave except it using the same word which is just confusing.

The single most important - and also, alas, the most overlooked - causative factor is the gun. Once African tribes that formerly fought with bows and arrows or spears were introduced to the devastating nature of the musket, the cannon and the Gatling, all bets were off, so to speak.
Apart from directly hiring their own mercenary armies to go into the interior of Africa to kidnap slaves and pressgang them into the purpose-built slave forts, the European slavers would go to Tribe A and say to its leaders: “Look, we only came here to buy your gold, as we’ve been doing for years. But Tribe B has sent emissaries to us, asking us to sell guns to it. Now, we know that you are their immediate target, having fought them in terrible wars not so long ago. Because of our friendship for you, we have told them we have no guns. For now.”
