Over time, the slave traders discovered that slaves taken from West Africa were the most productive workers on plantations. Therefore, they transported approximately 6 million black slaves from West Africa.

The plantations were located across the Atlantic in the southern states of America or in the Caribbean.

The luxury goods were often brought back to Europe to be sold to the higher classes.
