They were enslaved because they were vry cheap labor and had no way of resisting. Also it seemed like a clever thing to do as people in those days thought they were superior to the slaves.
How is simply by going to their country finding them and often kidnapping. Or buying the slaves off of other people in the community.
(aka rival groups catching and selling their prisoners to the slave drivers)
Or mostly pretty much pointing a gun at them and terrifying them
They would be then taken on slave ships (NOT nice things and slaves often died on the way) back to the country and sold at auctions

the aficians were easy to obtain from villages and could be brought throug chieft elders. The tribes wern;t an estilibish country so had no real goverment to protect the people making it easy for people to walk in and take what they want. The colonists needed people to work the farmland in america and the aficans couldn't really protect themselves from the white people. Guns vs sticks.
just watch roots.

Africans captured other Africans and sold them. It was like farming for them. Then they were traded as slaves.

kidnapped from Africa and brought over on slave ships. Sold at auctions to Americans (also sold to other countries). They were considered to be inferior to us.
