A number of African kings and merchants took part in the trading of enslaved people from 1440 to about 1833 . For each captive, the African rulers would receive a variety of goods from Europe . These included guns, ammunition, and other factory - made goods . The second leg of the triangle exported enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas and the Caribbean Islands .
