When did the Portuguese first buy African Slave?

I am no history major, but from what i understand slaves were not generally bought. they were captured. there were some tribes that would sell their slaves they had captured from other tribes, but usually by the slaves were caught by the slave hunters. who would transport them to their markets. the golden triangle as it was called back in the gunboat deplomacy days was when a trader would sell opium in china, go to Africa and capture slaves and then after selling the slaves in America buy molassess and head back to England.


How did the African slaves journey to the coast?

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!
