The slave trade worked by the use of the triangular trade. This was basically a triangle in which boats fom Bristol And Liverpool went to Africa to trade slaves for cheap goods i.e guns, gunhpowder. The Boats the collected the slaves and sent them off to the west indies and the usa. Here they were forced to work as slaves. There were many jobs for slaves, they could work in a house or on a plantation, or they could look after animals of become fugitives. But the English recievedcotton, sugar, spices, tobacco, rum and coffee. These goods could not be grown in Britain because the soil and climate was not sutible. After the goods had been made, they would be shipped off to Britain
