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.
