Eli5 How did the enslavement process actually started for Africans during African Americans slave trade ?

I hope my question doesn’t offend anyone I genuinely want actual facts.

In some parts in Europe people often say that we tricked the Africans by buying their people with things like glass that look valuable but aren’t, but I don’t believe this to be true because it blames the African people and portrays them as stupid etc, so I wondered how it actually happened/started.

You would probably be better off asking this in r/askhistorians just because this is a really nuanced subject and they will have a better historically accurate answer for you
