The Middle Passage
Triangular trade was a three-stage pattern of atlanic trade that carried goods and enslaved people between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
Ships traveling the Middle Passage primarily carried enslaved Africans being transported to the Americas. In addition to human cargo, these ships often carried goods such as rum, sugar, and other commodities that were part of the transatlantic trade. The journey was notorious for its brutal conditions, with many enslaved individuals suffering from overcrowding, disease, and malnutrition. The Middle Passage was a key component of the triangular trade system connecting Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
The slaves being carried from Africa to the Americas suffered the most from the triangular trade.
The Middle Passage
The triangular trade was a transatlantic trade system that operated from the late 16th to the early 19th centuries, linking Europe, Africa, and the Americas. It involved three main stages: European ships transported manufactured goods to Africa, where they were traded for enslaved people; those enslaved individuals were then shipped to the Americas, where they were sold; finally, the ships carried raw materials like sugar, tobacco, and cotton back to Europe. This system had profound economic, social, and cultural impacts on all regions involved.
The enslaved Africans were brought to the Americans as part of the molasses/sugar/rum trade. The most successful of the slave traders were actually Portuguese, although they generally carried out their trade from bases in Brazil.
Africans from Africa to the west Indies and north America
The slave triangle, also known as the transatlantic slave trade, operated primarily between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Ships transported enslaved Africans from Africa to the Americas to work on plantations, and then carried goods such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton back to Europe.
The middle passage, part of the Triangular Trade, carried slaves from Africa to America.
Slaves were transported through the triangular trade using ships. They were taken from Africa to the Americas on the Middle Passage, a brutal and inhumane journey that often resulted in the death of many enslaved individuals due to harsh conditions, disease, and mistreatment. The ships carried goods from Europe to Africa, exchanged for slaves, who were then transported to the Americas to be sold.
Yes, the slave ship was named Jesus of Lubeck. John Hawkins arrived with the first batch of slaves to the Americas in 1555.
he Slave Triangle trade route started with Europe (primarily Britain), though it was the Portuguese who actually started the salve trade between Africa and their Caribbean / Latin American colonies).The ships carried manufactured goods - textiles, copper tools etc. from Europe to West Africa. This was the first side of the triangle.In West Africa, the manufactured goods were sold or bartered for slaves. These slaves were then transported to Caribbean / American colonies. This was the middle portion of the triangle.Again the slaves were sold or bartered for Sugar, Cane and Molasses in the West Indies and for Tobacco and Hemp in the American colonies. The ships then made their way back to Europe - completing the last leg and triangle.So the 3 continents involved in the triangular slave trade were Europe, Africa and America.
