The slave trade
Ships left west coast ports like Liverpool and Bristol ( or French ports like Nantes or Bordeaux ) full of fireams , gunpowder , metals , alcohol , cotton goods , beads, knives and mirrors- the sort of things African Chiefs appreciated . These goods were exchanged for slaves - people who been captured in local tribal wars . The slaves were then Packed so tightly into the slave ships that they could hardly move . Often they were chained down and allowed little exercise . Condictions were terrible. By the middle of the eighteenth century British ships were carrying about 50000 slaves a year . The slavers sailed from Africa across the Atlantic . Slaves who had survived the Journey were sold to plantation orwers in the West Indies , the southern colonies of America ( Virginia , the Carolinas , Georgia ) where they spent the rest of their lives working to produce goods like Cotton , tobacco , sugar Cane and coffee. The slave-priduced goods were shipped back to Britain , the " Mother Country " where they were manufactured or refined and then either sold locally or re-exported at a vast profit . The slave trade brought in huge amounts of money to Britain
