How did the European slavers get the slaves and why did they take the slaves?
The slave traders that came to Africa had a ready made supply of slaves from the villages along the coast. These villages thrived on the sale of slaves they captured for the passing traders.Without this ready made supply, the industry would have been unable to survive. Had the traders been required to find their own slaves, they would have moved on to different fields.Trading of humans for the purpose of slavery was a common practice up until the 1800's. Many different cultures and groups have been slaves. White individuals from Ireland have been slaves in Africa is just one example.Jewish people in Egypt is another. The difference here is that Blacks were the last group to legally become slaves. They are also the last group in the United States to be slaves under law. Today, we still have forms of slavery, but they do not involve the trading of individuals from Africa. Asia is the current group of choice.
How did the slave trade cause a power shift in Africa?
By helping supply the Europeans with the slave trade, the rulers of certain African states were able to increase their power by acquiring more slaves for themselves. The slave trade also transformed the existing states and societies in Africa. As states sought to expand at the expense of their neighbors, instability and warfare came about. The military became important. The slave trade became an extension of African politics. African governments in the enslaving societies became more centralized while the those who bore the brunt of the slaving attacks became anti authoritarian. There was also a shift in the locus of power. Before the Europeans, the powerful African states were those that were in central Africa and could influence the trans-Saharan trade routes. Once the Europeans arrived, the power shifted to those states which were closer to the coast.
Why did Europeans explore?
Trade and treasure was always at the bottom of it. Although curiosity about unknown places and a sense of 'can this be done?' (think Columbus' and Magellan's travels) certainly played a role, the idea always was to discover places where spices could be bought or gold could be found. Medieval Europeans were very much aware that their dependence on the existing overland supply routes and on Venetian and Arab merchants led to supply always being less than demand, and - as a result - to skyrocketing prices. Basically, the 'exploring' nations - Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch and English - were trying to corner the markets for themselves.
