== == It was a simple economic process.The Indies and America had a product (Rum, tobacco, rice, sugar, cotton.) and needed slaves to incrase production. Europe wanted these products and had an industrial capacity to produce products desired in Africa(Iron, cloth and trinkets.) The First Leg carried European goods to Africa that had a product and a genuine lust for the goodies of Europe. The Middle passage carried African Slaves to the Indies and America, sold them at a profit, loaded up on Rum, tobacco, etc and made a profit on those goodies at the end of the Homeward Passage. At each point in the triangle, a profit was made such that a full circuit made the equivalent of a millionare out of the ships captain and the ships owner. With two or three passages, a crewman could buy a farm, a manor house and a pub, and retire, all from his share of the voyages.

With the triangular trade, Americans could use home-grown goods to purchase slaves in Africa which would then be sold in the Caribbean where there were other great powers represented and in this way they could either get hard currency or manufactured goods without the middle man in England, or they could get other natural resources to bring back to America for capital investment there.
It made the owners of the plantations have less work to do. While getting more produce because the slaves were forced to do the work. And the owners have no real work to do.

There were many economic benefits to the triangular slave trade that took place in the West Indies. Slaves were picked up from Africa and sold in the American Colonies. From there, slave traders took cotton and tobacco and sold it in Europe. Then, from Europe, they would have gathered rum and textiles to sell to Africa in exchange for slaves, and so on.

Food from the colonies went to the West Indies.

Slaves, sugar, molasses, and fruit went from the West Indies to England in the Triangular Trade.

The Triangular Trade is a route between America The Indies and Britain from which slaves were crammed on ships to be sold in America.
Triangular trade was responsible for the growth of slavery. It involved ship captains leaving Britain with goods, then trading the goods for slaves from the coast of Africa. The slaves were then taken to the West Indies, where they were sold to plantation owners. The ships then returned to Britain with West Indian money and rum, where the cycle started over again.
