What is slave trade? An example of Slave trade is the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade. This trade had three stages. In the first stage it involves taking manufacturing goods from Europe to Africa. Such as cloth, spirit, tobacco, beads, cowrie shells, metal goods, and guns. The second stage was shipping the slaves to the Americas. Then Finally the third stage (final stage) which was the return to Europe with the produce from the slave-labor plantations: cotton, sugar, tobacco, molasses and rum.
