Before Great Britain ended slave trade and later abolished slavery, it was among other European nations involved with slavery and its trading. Ships from England would travel to the West coast of Africa and bring products and gold to exchange for slaves. The African slave traders were often Arabic, and slaves were also obtained by capture or the bribes given to tribal chiefs. Jamestown, the British Virginia colony was the first colony to have slaves to work the tobacco fields.Other European nations such as Portugal were also involved in the slave trade.
