Slaves sugar molasses and coffee
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.
Cotton, sugar, timber, tobacco, molasses, and rum.
New England's rum is traded for slaves in Africa. The slaves are brought to Cuba to grow sugar. Cuban sugar is exported to New England, where it is distilled into rum.
The three major ones were tobacco, cotton and indigo, as these brought in the most money from Britain, who was the Southern colonies dominant trade partner. These would've been grown on huge plantations which were worked by slaves.
