The alternative was staying in Africa were they would have been slaves to other Africans or Muslims, who were even more brutal, for even longer.
For quite shorter, actually. Muslims castrated their black slaves, and a lot of them died in that process. More would die in the journey across the Sahara. And the castration would ensure that they would not have any descendants, which is why despite massive Muslim slave populations, you barely see blacks in Muslim countries (and when they are, they are called "slave").
You are correct. My thought was that the "institution" of slavery would last longer in those nations, but logically each bloodline would end immediately and be free.
But this entire slavery moralizing doesn't work on logic anyway. Bloodlines that were never enslaved still live in America reaping the victim credit and crying tears as if they were.

I keep being amazed at how they screech about 3/5. Logic really has nothing to do with it.,
