Triangular trade took place during the days when sailing ships carried cargo between Europe, Africa, and America. Ships sailed from Africa to America, unloaded their cargoes of slaves at the colonies and took on rum, sugar, tobacco, furs, and other products before setting sail for European ports. The American goods were unloaded in Europe and replaced by European products wanted by the people in Africa, things like cloth, weapons, and salt. The usual sailing routes from Africa to America, America to Europe, and Europe to Africa followed the ocean currents and what were called the “trade winds”. Many ships also stopped at Caribbean island plantations where some slaves were exchanged for sugar and molasses, the molasses being used in New England to manufacture rum for export to Europe and Africa. Triangular trade ended shortly after the British government banned the slave trade throughout the British Empire in 1807.
i have no idea lol
I believe it was fur goods. and maybe something else.
As part of the triangular trade, the Americas exported various goods to Europe, including sugar, tobacco, cotton, and rum. These commodities were highly sought after and played a significant role in European economies. The trade also included raw materials like timber and indigo. This exchange contributed to the growth of European markets and the expansion of colonial economies.
The slaves being carried from Africa to the Americas suffered the most from the triangular trade.
It was the trade between the Americas, Europe and Africa. Triangular = 3 ; there are 3 continents involved.

History
The triangular trade connected Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Europe traded manufactured goods to Africa, Africa traded slaves to the Americas, and the Americas traded raw materials back to Europe.
The three main things traded in the triangular trade were slaves from Africa to the Americas, raw materials from the Americas to Europe, and manufactured goods from Europe to Africa.
The most historically significant triangular trade was the transatlantic slave trade which operated between Europe, Africa and the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries.
