1) Load a ship with goods that are popular in Africa-guns, cloth, iron pots and pans, copper, kettles, spirits, cheap bracelets and necklaces-and sail to Africa. The goods must be cheap to buy in Britain, but highly prized in Africa. 2) Unload the ship and exchange the goods for captured slaves. The slave trader swaps a cheap cargo of goods for something that us really needed in America and the west Indies- slaves! 3) After a gruelling two-month journey across the Atlantic Ocean, the slaves arrive to be cleaned up and sold to farmers. The slave trader will make a fortune while the slaves will go to plantations. The slave trader will then buy a load of sugar, cotton or tobacco and load it onto his empty ship. When he returns to Britain, he will sell his precious cargo to the cotton-wearing, sugar-loving,tobacco-smoking public…and make another huge profit!
