Question

How did slave owners obtain slaves

Answer 1

Answer:

Well from what I learned they where taken from their tribes and they where sold and where taken on ships and went to be sold to someone else ( but on the boat most of them died from diseases and other things) the boat had separated each person from their gender ( females where on one side with their kids and males where on the other side) so the ones that did live where sold to anyone who wanted them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Through trade or auctions. Slaves were exported from Africa and imported to the Americas and Europe through the triangle trade.
