It was a trading triangle:-

Goods were sailed to West Africa and exchanged for slaves.

The slaves were sailed to America and exchanged for tobacco, sugar and cotton.

Tobacco, sugar and cotton were sailed to Europe and exchanged for money

The money was used to purchase more goods to be sailed to Africa.

Profit was taken out at each point in the triangle by the most money was made at the third point when goods form the Americas came back to Europe.

That said the slave trading kingdoms in Africa became quite prosperous too as did the American plantation owners.

Who controlled the African slave trade?

The African slave trade was primarily controlled by European powers, particularly Portugal, Spain, Britain, France, and the Netherlands, from the 16th to the 19th centuries. These nations established coastal trading posts and collaborated with African leaders to facilitate the capture and transport of enslaved people. The trade was fueled by demand for labor in the Americas, especially in plantation economies. Ultimately, the slave trade was a complex system involving European traders, African middlemen, and colonial economies.
