The transatlantic slave trade generally followed a triangular route。 Traders set out from European ports towards Africa's west coast。
There they bought people in exchange for goods and loaded them into the ships。 The voyage itself generally took 6 to 8 weeks。
Once in the Americas, those Africans who had survived the journey were off-loaded for sale and put to work as slaves。
The ships returned to Europe with goods such as sugar, coffee, tobacco, rice and later cotton, which had been produced by slave labour
The triangle, involving three continents, was complete。
European capital, African labour and American land and resources combined to supply a European market。
The colonists in the Americas also made direct slaving voyages to Africa, which did not follow the triangular route。
This trade increased after 1800, particularly from Brazil。
