It is easier to look at one product: sugar cane. Slaves would cut down sugar cane (a very hard work), the cane was processed into sugar and molasses. The molasses was sent to New England and processed into rum. The rum was traded for slaves in Africa. (The people who were selling them were other Africans.)

This increased the demand for more rum and increased the demand for more slaves to grow more sugar cane.

Cotton and tobacco also required more slaves to make tobacco and cotton.
