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.
