The transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation of enslaved Africans from West Africa to the Americas. European traders would bring goods to Africa to exchange for captives, who were then shipped to the Americas to be sold as slaves. The profits from the sale of enslaved Africans were used to purchase commodities, such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, which were then shipped back to Europe. This triangular trade route connected Africa, the Americas, and Europe, with each leg of the journey serving to generate profit for the merchants and traders involved.

In Africa European slave traders bought enslaved Africans in exchange for goods shipped from Europe. The second part of the triangular slave trade was the voyage from Africa to the Americas. This is often called the Middle Passage. This was the part of the triangle where enslaved Africans were forcibly shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. On reaching the Americas those Africans who had survived the terrible journey were sold as slaves to work on plantations.
