Answer 2

The colonies in the Caribbean- Martinique, Guadeloupe and San Domingo- were important suppliers of commodities such as tobacco, indigo, sugar and coffee. But the reluctance of Europeans to go and work in distant and unfamiliar lands meant a shortage of labour on the plantations. So this was met by a triangular slave trade between Europe, Africa and the Americas.

The slave trade began in the seventeenth century. French merchants sailed from the ports of Bordeaux is Nantes to the African coast, where they bought slaves from the local chieftains. Branded and shackled, the slaves were packed tightly into ships for the three months long voyage across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. There is they were sold to plantation owners. The exploitation of slave labour made it possible to get meet the growing demand in European markets for sugar, coffee, and indigo. Port cities like Bordeaux and Nantes owned their economic prosperity to the flourishing slave trade..
