The East African slave trade in the 1600 operated within Africa, Europe, and Asia, while the Atlantic slave trade in the 1700s also included in the Americans.
Slaves from West Africa were generally sold in African and European countries, while slaves from East Africa were generally sold in Persia and Mesopotamia.
People traded all sorts of things. Spices from Asia were important, and were traded from East to West. This trade involved a lot of money and is often historically noted. Silk was traded from Asia and the Byzantine Empire to the rest of Europe, as is also noted commonly by historians. But there were other, more mundane types of goods traded. Embroidered cloth was traded from Anglo Saxon England to the south. Dried figs and dates from the South were traded to the North. Wine from France, Italy, and Spain was shipped to Britain. Amber was taken from the Baltic area and traded toward the south. Ocean fish were salted and shipped up rivers far inland. Minerals, such as tin, iron, and silver, were mined, refined and shipped all over. People in the North who wanted rice, as some rich people did, had to get it from the South. These are just examples. The list seems endless.
The East African Civilizations mainly traded in Agricultural produce such as coffee and tea. Special trophy items such as rhino horns and tortoise shells were also a common feature in the markets.
