"[Hawkins) passed to Sierra Leone, upon the coast of Guinea... where he stayed some good
time, and got into his possession, partly by the sword and partly by other means, to the number
of 300 negroes at the least, besides other merchandises, which that Country yielded. With this
prey he sailed over the Ocean sea unto the Island of Hispaniola, and arrived first at the port of
Isabella: and there he had reasonable (sale) of his English commodities, as also of some part of
his Negroes... for which he received ... such quantity of merchandise, that he did not only
lade his own three ships with hides, ginger, sugars, and some quantity of pearls, but he (also
filled two more) with hides and other like commodities, which he sent to Spain."

The great awakening The navigation acts

It typically began in West Africa where the Europeans would acquire enslaved people by either force or by trade. They would then take them to the Americas where they would trade the enslaved people for goods such as ginger, sugars, hides and pearls.

These goods would then be sent for trade in Europe and then with the profits made there they would then come back to west Africa for more trade thereby creating a sort of triangle from West Africa to the Americas to Europe and then back to Africa.
