What kinds of goods came from Africa?

The ships' captains would buy goods to take back to Europe. These would be goods produced by slave labour on the plantations. They were tobacco, sugar, indigo (a plant used for dye), rice, rum and cotton. The trade goods used for buying enslaved Africans were often produced and sold locally around Bristol.
