Slavery was not new to Africa when the first European explorers arrived. Africa was full of nations constantly at war and the conquering nations took captives that they sold as slaves. On the Discovery Education website (http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schooladventures/slavery/world.html) there is glimpse into the life of Olaudah Equiano, a slave in Africa, America, and then at sea. He wrote an autobiography describing his life as a slave.
