The slave trade was a triangle. First finished goods where made in Europe. Then those good were transported to Africa to be traded for tribes prisoners of war.

One of the things that made slave trade important in West Africa is that it earned the slave owners good money. This money could be used to develop farms or invest in other sectors of the economy.
The transatlantic slave trade took place between the continents of Europe, Africa and America from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The reason this trade is called the triangular trade is because it was usually made up of three different voyages which formed a triangular trade pattern. Some slave trading voyages were made directly between the continents of America and Africa.
The 1807 Slave Trade Act was a law passed by the British Parliament that abolished the transatlantic slave trade. It made it illegal to engage in the business of trading enslaved people between Africa, the Americas, and the Caribbean. The act was a significant step towards the eventual abolition of slavery in the British Empire.

Geography played a significant role in the slave trade by determining where slaves were captured, transported, and sold. The proximity of Africa to the Americas made it a prime source of slaves, as well as the development of specific trade routes across the Atlantic. Geographic features such as rivers and coastlines also influenced the movement of slaves and facilitated the growth of the transatlantic slave trade.
