What methods were used to capture the Africans?

Africans were captured through various methods, including military raids conducted by local tribes and European slave traders, who often formed alliances with certain groups to facilitate the capture of rival tribes. Additionally, deceptive practices, such as trickery or false promises of trade, were employed. The use of firearms by traders also played a significant role in overpowering communities. Once captured, many Africans were transported in brutal conditions to slave markets across the Atlantic.
