The slavery in Africa isn't the same. It's not inherited for the most part. It's more debt related.In part. Historically, I understand that it's difficult to fully understand African slavery because of the lack of a written language and records for posterity in most respects, but apparently from what I have read, there was some extent - we aren't sure how much - of heritable slavery, usually via raids on the tribe that you didn't like in addition to things like serfdom and indentured servitude for a term of years (or more frequently, a sum of cash equivalent). Heritable slavery in the days of the slave trade also offered an incentive for African tribes to engage in more of what they did already anyway against other tribes (and thus to save the Jewish and Muslim, later European, merchants from a trip into the African interior). |
