A. with captured Africans who were brought as slaves

During that time period, certain African group leaders would conquer other African tribes and sell the members as slaves to Europeans, who then sold them to colonists in the Americas. These kidnapped Africans were then used to fill the need for labor on plantations, including sugar, in the Americas.
