How the slave trade worked?
europeans would sail to Africa with their boats loaded with guns, alcohol etc (traditional british items). When they got to Africa they would exchange the guns, alcohol etc for human slaves.

Then they would sail home and sell the coffee, gold, sugar for huge profit. This was known as the slave triangle.
