Local slave trade
Many nations such as the
Ashanti of present-day
Ghana and the
Yoruba of present-day
Nigeria were involved in slave-trading. Groups such as the
Imbangala of
Angola and the
Nyamwezi of
Tanzania would serve as intermediaries or roving bands, waging war on African states to capture people for export as slaves. Historians John Thornton and Linda Heywood have provided an estimate, that of the Africans captured and then sold to Europeans around 90% of those who were shipped in the Atlantic slave trade.
[15] Henry Louis Gates, the Harvard Chair of African and African American Studies, has stated that "without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents, the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible, at least on the scale it occurred."

The entire
Bubi ethnic group descends from escaped intertribal slaves owned by various ancient West-central African ethnic groups.[
