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. (at least at the start, as the slave trade progressed the sailors started to capture their victims) Then with their boats full of slaves they would sail to west indies/ south America and sell the slaves in exchange for coffee, gold, sugar. Then they would sail home and sell the coffee, gold, sugar for huge profit. This was known as the slave triangle.
