Im not quite sure, but i've been told before that its Brazil.
The first African slaves used by Europeans were used by the Portuguese, on the island of Sao Tome, to grow sugarcane. The Spanish were the first to use African slaves in the Americas (in the Caribbean), and the first English colony to use African slaves was Jamestown, Virginia (which was the first English colony in the New World). However, long before Europeans used African slaves, the Africans had slaves who were African!
Africa To improve upon the above answer. Africa is not a country but a very large continent. I do not know the first country where slaves came from, but most were from western or central Africa. Most probably came from Nigeria.

The first country to use African people as slaves were the Portuguese. In 1441, two Captains of Portuguese ships, names unknown, took 12 slaves from Africa and brought them back to Portugal as slaves. Other countries followed such as Britain, Spain, Netherlands and France. Hope it helps.
Spain was the first European country to import African slaves to the Americas. After Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, the Spanish started bringing Africans as slave labor for their plantations and mines. Juan de Cordoba was the first Spaniard to send African slaves to the New World.
