This statement is false. Slavery existed in Africa before the arrival of Europeans, although it took various forms and was not as widespread or institutionalized as the transatlantic slave trade that developed after European contact. Slavery in Africa had economic, political, social, and religious dimensions and varied according to region, time period, and cultural context.
