Pretty sure it's that Africans didn't consider slaves to be property. Slaves still had rights and could report mistreatment, punishing the slave owner. They had to treat their slaves humanely.

Tristan Ramos · Answer 2

Europeans had more power than africans, which gave them the idea that they were an ''inferior'' race so what they did is fool them with fake jewelry for all they had then they saw that africans had nothing more to offer then, they decided to enslave them.
