Yes it was one of the element of the Triangle slave trade. Ships would deliver slaves to the Caribbean, pick up sugar and molasses for delivery to Rhode Island which converted it to rum which the ships hauled to Europe and traded it for metal and trinkets which were hauled to Africa and traded for slaves. It was a lucrative business.
