Actually, different tribes were constantly fighting, and took slaves
when they didn't just kill them. Later, they discovered that they could
sell or trade their slaves for things that they wanted with the ships
that arrived on the African coast to trade goods. A lot of those ships
were from England, and they took the slaves to other places to sell
them.
