The Slave Trade was incredibly profitable and incredibly cruel. It ripped families apart. People would come home from a hunt or from the fields and find their families missing. In some cases, entire villages were captured. The people in an entire village were rounded up and traded as slaves.

Was the slave trade so profitable because of the demand for slaves or the trade triangle?

It was profitable for everyone concerned, the Europeans had free labour working their plantations which brought about huge profits and the slave suppliers (rival African tribes and others )sold people (without a cost of production ) to Europeans in exchange for things like Rum and weapons. Everyone except for the slaves, profited from the triangle.

Why did the South fear the slave trade would be banned?

The slave trade was the most profitable thing about slavery. Actually owning slaves was not terribly profitable and most slave owners were deeply in debt. But the business of selling slaves, whether they were grabbed from Africa or purchased or bartered in the Caribbean, was highly profitable. A large number of people made their living in the slave trade, transporting, auctioning, guarding, financing, insuring, etc. Southerners were also aware that Great Britain had first banned the slave trade, then followed up by banning slavery entirely. They felt that any movement to limit slavery, slave trading, slave states, etc., threatened their whole way of life.
