Portuguese sailors exchanged various goods for slaves during the transatlantic slave trade, primarily focusing on textiles, metal tools, firearms, and alcohol. These items were highly valued in African markets and were used to trade for enslaved individuals. This exchange was part of a broader economic system that fueled the plantation economies in the Americas. The practice significantly impacted African societies and contributed to the establishment of the slave trade.

How the slave trade worked?

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.
