A British slave ship set off from Liverpool or Bristol, carrying trade goods, and sailed to Africa. Some slaves were captured directly by the British traders. They ambushed and captured local people in Africa. Most slave ships got their slaves from British 'factors', who lived full-time in Africa and bought slaves from local tribal chiefs. The chiefs would raid a rival village and sell their captured enemies as slaves. In 1700, a slave cost about Â£3-worth of traded goods eg cloth, guns, gunpowder and brandy.
