The Portuguese started the trading, this is how it was done:
1~Take manufactured goods from Europe to Africa.
2~Use them to trade for slaves.
3~Take slaves to America,
4~ Slaves work in sugar, cotton, and other fields,
5~ Ships return to Europe with goods grown by slaves.
This was called the Triangle Trade.

From which country did slavers come from?
The Portuguese were the primary slave traders starting in the mid-1400's. This type trade was the most profitable from their new colonies along the west African coast. Generally, the Portuguese obtained the slaves by trade with the more dominant African tribes who captured these people during military conquest. Centuries later other Europeans, such as the French, Dutch and English got into the African Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
