- The Transatlantic Slave Trade became the way slaves were transported. Manufactured goods would transported from Europe to Africa in exchange for slaves. The Middle passage was where slaves were transported to the Americas with a poorly-habitable boat. Finally, the products of slave labor would be sent to Europe.
