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.
Yes. The colonies supplied England with tobacco as part of the triangular trade.
Colonies from various European countries participated in the triangular trade route, including British colonies in North America, French colonies in the Caribbean, and Portuguese colonies in Brazil. This trade route involved the exchange of goods, slaves, and other commodities between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
A trade between Africa, Americas, and England
The triangular trade route was between 3 points in the Alantic world, the Americas, The West Indies, and Africa.
During the triangular trade, American colonies primarily exported raw materials such as tobacco, cotton, rice, sugar, and indigo to Europe. They also sent fish, lumber, and rum. These exports were crucial in supporting European economies and fueling the demand for enslaved Africans, who were transported to the Americas in return. The trade established a complex economic system that linked the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
how did the triangular trade affect the colonies
The European colonies in the Americas represented the location where the trade process originated in the triangular trade system. This is where goods like sugar, tobacco, and cotton were produced and then sent to Europe.
The slaves being carried from Africa to the Americas suffered the most from the triangular trade.
