During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there was a significant
demand for labor in plantations across the Americas and on islands such
as Mauritius and Réunion. This demand fueled a slave trade that affected
many African communities. While much of this trade involved individuals
from coastal regions or areas further north, it also extended into
southern Africa.

With a whole continent full of indigenous labor they imported Africans.
The truth is while the Cherokee didn't have a problem enslaving people
from other tribes they saw the value of buying Africans instead. When they
headed to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears they took their African slaves
with them.
