The transatlantic slave trade is the name given to the forced enslavement and movement of people from Africa to the Americas
British port cities such as London, Liverpool and Bristol, rapidly expanded due to the wealth acquired by their involvement with the slave trade
Between 1500 and 1800, around 12-15 million people were taken by force from Africa to be used as enslaved labour in the Caribbean, North, Central and South America.

From the 1500s, the ‘Triangular Trade’ is a name given to the three main voyages of the transatlantic slave trade.
British enslavers then sold the enslaved people in the West Indies and North America. They brought a cargo of tobacco, rice and other goods back to England to sell
These enslaved people were then taken across the Atlantic to be sold in the West Indies and North America(this journey is known as the middle passage). Many people died due to the bad conditions on the ships
In ports such as Glasgow, Liverpool and Bristol, West African people were exchanged for trade goods such as guns, cloth, iron and beer.
