Africans captured and sold other Africans to Arab slavers from about 1000 up to about 1900; shipped north from West Africa to the Sahara regions.....If you mean in the Americas:.in West Africa, Africans sold other Africans to Portuguese Spanish and English slave traders from about 1520 to 1847........85% of the African slaves were sold to what is now Brazil, not to what is now the USA.......England and the USA outlawed the shipping of slaves from Africa in 1847; slavery was abolished in the USA in 1863.
On the east coast of Africa, slaves were sold ( once again, by Africans) to Arab traders right up to the 1980's.........some claim it still goes on .....
