The European countries, like British, were heavily into the slave trade and all its parts, including plantations, slave boats, and the such, long before America existed. They loved their sugar, spices, and tobacco. Yet, they were competing with many others at the time, just as America was using slaves to compete with Europe's slave supported industry, in the beginning. European countries likely weren't even the most prolific in their own era, but they surely weren't considering all eras.
