Original Note:
The claim that "Africans did not sell Africans" is false. Historians estimate that 90% of the Africans captured and then sold as slaves in the Atlantic trade were enslaved by fellow Africans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa#Local_slave_trade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Coast_of_West_Africa#Transatlantic_slave_trade
