I am no history major, but from what i understand slaves were not generally bought. they were captured. there were some tribes that would sell their slaves they had captured from other tribes, but usually by the slaves were caught by the slave hunters. who would transport them to their markets. the golden triangle as it was called back in the gunboat deplomacy days was when a trader would sell opium in china, go to Africa and capture slaves and then after selling the slaves in America buy molassess and head back to England.
