Europeans justified the enslavement of Africans through racist ideologies that portrayed Africans as inferior and in need of "civilizing." They also argued that slavery was necessary for economic prosperity and that Africans were better off as slaves in European colonies. These justifications helped perpetuate the transatlantic slave trade and the brutal exploitation of Africans for centuries.

The earliest interaction between Europeans and Africans would have been in trade. Specifically empires like Egypt traded with the Roman Empire. Oil, spices, gold and slaves were traded between the two continents. When the Europeans began colonizing the Americas, the most desired commodity became human slaves.
Europeans preferred Africans as slaves due to several factors, including perceptions of Africans as physically fit for labor in harsh conditions, their perceived lack of education and culture, and existing trade networks that made it easier to obtain African slaves through the transatlantic slave trade. Additionally, European colonizers believed in the legitimacy of exploiting African peoples as a means of economic gain and power.
