Yes. Rum was one of the key parts of the Triangle Trade in which slaves were one leg and rum another. Slaves were brought to the Carribean Islands where they worked the sugar plantations, which made rum which went to the colonies in exchange for goods that went to Europe and Africa to obtain more slaves.

However, distilling rum later became colonial New England's largest and most profitable industry.
