I'm not sure what you are asking. South of them?
Why would traders go to the north? Are you talking about the ships going to Massachusetts to bring sugar and rum?
When the slaves were sold the ships were loaded with sugar and rum. They went north to Boston because that is where the market was. That is where they sold their sugar and rum. That is where the molasses was made.
If I don't understand the question, ask again.
