Not only west Africans were taken as slaves. West African slaves were just taken mostly to the Americas while slaves from the eastern and south African were taking eastwards. The black people in islands such as Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Reunion Island and other adjoining islands in the Indian ocean were mostly taken from eastern African.
A ship going to Africa to buy slaves carried a large cargo of mixed goods, such as cotton, brass pans and guns. These were exchanged for enslaved Africans, who were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to north and south America and the Caribbean. Here they were set to work on the plantations (large areas of land owned by Europeans where crops were grown). The shipsâ captains would buy goods to take back to Europe. These would be goods produced by slave labour on the plantations. They were tobacco, sugar, indigo (a plant used for dye), rice, rum and cotton. The trade goods used for buying enslaved Africans were often produced and sold locally around Bristol.
