What is true about African slavery before the beginning of the trans-Atlantic slave trade? A. The slave trade existed in Africa before Europeans came.
B. Africans did not trade enslaved people before the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
C. The trans-Atlantic slave trade introduced slavery to Africa.
The correct answer is A. The slave trade existed in Africa before Europeans came.
Before the trans-Atlantic slave trade, various forms of slavery and servitude existed within Africa. Many societies engaged in the capture and trade of enslaved individuals, often as a result of warfare, debt, or as punishment for crimes. Europeans expanded these practices through the trans-Atlantic slave trade, but they did not introduce the concept of slavery itself to the continent.
