Africans had practiced slavery before Europeans as result of captives taken in war; emphasis on female slavery as means of extending lineage, authority; constant warfare in western and central Africa supplied stream of slaves; interruption of Europeans gave external focus to slave trade, primarily in males; exchange of firearms for slaves enabled expanding states to utilize slave trade as means of enlarging political power.
