This is how it happened the first part of the triangular slave trade was the voyage from Europe to Africa. In Africa European slave traders bought enslaved Africans in exchange for goods shipped from Europe. The second part of the triangular slave trade was the voyage from Africa to the Americas. This is often called the Middle Passage. This was the part of the triangle where enslaved Africans were forcibly shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. On reaching the Americas those Africans who had survived the terrible journey were sold as slaves to work on plantations. The third and final part of the triangular slave trade was the return voyage from the Americas to Europe. Slave ships returned to Europe loaded with goods produced on plantations using slave labour. It could take slave ships up to one year to complete the entire triangular voyage
The slave-trade cycle initiated by ship owners was called the triangular trade. These ships from England would bring goods like beads, rum, weapons, and salt to Africa and exchanges these goods for people who were then enslaved and brought to America on these ships. The ships would take on goods like rum, tobacco, molasses, or sugar and go back to England, where the triangular trade cycle would begin again.
There were at least 130 sea men on slave ships.
...slaves didnt want to be left to carry cargo .. when it was overloaded on ships so they rebeled
When slaves were brought ashore from slave ships, they were usually inspected, cleaned, and separated before being sold at auctions. The slaves were then auctioned off to the highest bidder, typically plantation owners or slave traders, who would then use them for labor in fields, mines, or households.
Slaves were manacled and packed tightly into the holds of the slave ships.
The triangular trade route was a major trading route during the Atlantic slave trade which lasted from the 16th to 19th centuries. It was an economic network linking the ports of three continents Africa Europe and the Americas. Ships would sail from Europe to Africa carrying goods such as weapons alcohol and textiles in exchange for enslaved people. These ships would then sail to the Americas where the enslaved people were exchanged for agricultural products such as sugar cotton tobacco and coffee. Finally the ships would return to Europe with the goods from the Americas. From Europe to Africa: weapons alcohol textiles From Africa to the Americas: enslaved people From the Americas to Europe: sugar cotton tobacco coffee
