why were coloured people slaves in the first place?

Answer 1

Africa was and still is a tribal place.tribes fought with each other and still do.all the time. they always took slaves. when they attacked other tribes.they sold them for 1000s of years back and forth with each other. the whites wonted to buy there slaves.whites from many many countrys,so they did.the North Africans went out in there ships and captured over a million white people they then sold as slaves , in that marine song. in the hall s of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. Tripoli was in n Africa and that is when in the early 17 hundreds the U.S.marines sailed there and fought them and stoped there stealing of white people. the N africans took an entire town in Ireland once.so it worked both ways. there has allways been people taken to be sold as slaves.in most every culture.and by the way the south didnt leave the union because of slavery. they didnt get along with Yankees, didnt like being taxed to death & high taffirs .and simply wonted to govern themselfs and not be controlled by the Yankees. the U.S. had slaves since before the beginning of this country.lincoln said over and over that that war wasnt because of slavery. the north had slaves as well as the south. only 8% of southerners had slaves.about 5% of northerners had slaves.General Grant said he wasnt going to give up his slaves. lincoln only freed the southern slaves so they would run away and join the north in there attack on the south.he didnt free the northern slaves.lincoln said he was going to after the war ship all Negroes to South America he called it colinization. the myth that that war was over slavery is totally wrong.but the history books or writen by the victors of every war.

Answer 2

Coloured people?!?!? Are you African?

They were tricked by Whitey. Slavery existed in Africa but it was more like indentured servitude. Europeans came to buy slaves from Africa and the Africans thought it would be the same so they sold them. I'm sure if they'd know that the Europeans would eventually start kidnapping Africans they wouldn't have allowed it in the first place.

Answer 3

As someone says because their fellow blacks enslaved them and sold them to whites. Did you know that the slave trade only flourished because Africans made an industry out of capturing slaves to sell?

Answer 4

initially "slaves" in u . s . a . of america were indentured servants. They were those who had their thanks to u . s . a . of america paid with techniques from someone and then worked for that human being for a era of time till the debt replaced into paid off. the issue replaced into that when those human beings were given to u . s . a . of america they ran off. Then the Dutch delivered a shipload of African slaves to u . s . a . of america and they couldn't run off because they could somewhat be suggested, there have been very few Black human beings interior the colonies for the duration of that element. the subsequent element you comprehend slaves are being delivered over from Africa with techniques from the boatload.
