Most rival tribes supported the enslavement of certain tribes. Little did they know that they would be next.

Not specifically. Most were enslaved in the actual colonies established by the Europeans in Africa, not taken to the West Indies. By the time Quinine was invented, the Atlantic slave trade was dead.
