Thus, the British empire exported manufactured goods that would serve the people in Africa such as ironware, guns, drinks and cloths. These goods would be traded in Africa by slaves (men, women and children). These slaves were sold in the West Indies (the Caribbean) and sold to the highest bidder so they could purchase New World goods they could trade back in Europe such as tobacco, sugar, cotton, coffee and other raw resources back to Europe. Slave trade to actually began in the 15th century, when the Portuguese and parts of Spain traded slaves to their American colonies. This practice became known among British sailors once the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 gave the British the right to sell slaves in the Spanish Empire [1]. To gain more benefit, the British conceived the route as a three-way journey to maximize their profit, thus creating what is known as the Atlantic triangular slave trade. The trade ended in 1776 in all 13 British colonies due to the American Revolutionary war, which ended with slavery in 1808, it still continued in the Caribbean until the 1800s.
