What will be an ideal response? Title: How new was slavery to West Africa? How did West Africans view slavery? Post by: Okaztle on Jan 16, 2018 Answer: Slavery had existed for centuries in Africa. West Africans owned slaves themselves as well as participated in an overland slave trade, selling prisoners of wars and individuals convicted of heinous crimes. Slaves in West Africa lived under the same conditions as their owners and had rights to education, marriage, and their children. Slavery was not always a life-long condition and the children of slaves were free.
