Well first of all the answer to your question is no. The Europeans treated African slaves horribly. They made them work all day. Slave trading between Africa and Europe began with the Portuguese, who were the first European nation to make continuous contact with Africa. African slaves were mainly taken to Europe to be used on a land that needed slaves. If a slave got tired, and slowed down or stopped, they would get a punishment.
Sometimes slave owners would rape their slaves, raping is one of the many cruel and mean things done to slaves. Raping a slave wasn't even against the law! Sometimes slaves were beaten so harshly that they nearly bled to death. Slaves couldn't have an education, and it very hard to escape slavery.

Oh honey, let me tell you, the Europeans did not exactly roll out the red carpet for the Africans. They pretty much swooped in, colonized the place, and exploited the heck out of the people and resources. So, fair treatment was definitely not on the menu.
The treatment of Africans by Europeans throughout history has been marked by exploitation, violence, and discrimination. From the transatlantic slave trade to colonialism, Europeans have consistently oppressed and marginalized African peoples for their own economic and political gain. This history of exploitation has had lasting impacts on African societies and continues to shape global inequalities today. Fairness was not a consideration in these interactions, as they were driven by power dynamics and the desire for control and profit.
Well, my friend, the history between Europeans and Africans is a complex one. There were times when Africans were treated unfairly, but there were also moments of kindness and understanding. It's important to learn from the past and strive to create a more just and compassionate world for all.

Well, honey, Europeans had a leg up on Africans with their fancy schmancy guns and ships. They also had the upper hand with their knowledge of metalworking and agricultural techniques. But hey, at the end of the day, it's not about who had the better toys, it's about how you use them.
The history of Europeans performing slave trade activities last many centuries. During this period, tribal Chieftains and other Africans often took manufactured goods from Europeans in exchange for slaves. Often gold and silver were also precious metals used to buy slaves. Some slaves, however, were actually kidnapped. There is no precise record of what was bartered or funds paid to obtain slaves.
African laborers often had more experience with agriculture than American indigenous peoples.
