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.
