What was the Triangular Slave Trade?
The "triangular trade" as used in the Atlantic Ocean was a process in which African slaves were brought to the Americas, especially the South and the Caribbean during the 18th century.It involved three or more "products" -- molasses made from the sugar in the Caribbean, rum made from the molasses (which could also be sold to buy crops or manufactured goods from America or Europe), and slaves captured by African traders and sold in African ports. The trading ships used the counter-clockwise transoceanic sailing route to make repeated cycles and great profits.1. The molasses are bought in the Caribbean, and taken to New England to be distilled into rum. (This can be transported, or sold to buy crops and goods.)2. The rum and other goods are taken to Africa, where they are sold or bartered for slaves.3. The slaves are taken to the Caribbean (the "Middle Passage") where they are sold or bartered for more molasses., beginning the cycle again.
