Middle Passage
As more sugar plantations were created, farmers needed more workers so they needed more slaves. Slave owners also never felt like they had enough slaves, in other words they were very greedy, this caused more slaves being transpoted in the middle passage, the trade route from Europe to Africa, then the "middle" Africa to America. This was called the trianglular trade route.
Bartholomeu Dias did not find a trade route through Africa to get to Asia. He did, however, establish a trade route by sailing around the southern tip of Africa to get to Asia.
The triangular trade route was most likely used by colonial smugglers during the 1600s and 1700s. The triangular trade involved the transportation of goods, including slaves, between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Smugglers took advantage of the system to transport illicit goods and evade custom duties and regulations imposed by colonial authorities.
In the triangular trade route, there were 3 main points of trading- Africa, Europe, and America. Manufactured goods went from Europe to Africa, slaves went from Africa to the Americas, and luxury goods from the Americas to Europe.

The shortest route from South America to Africa is across the Atlantic Ocean, specifically from the northeastern coast of Brazil to the western coast of Africa, near Senegal. The distance between these two points is approximately 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles). This route minimizes travel time and distance compared to other potential paths between the two continents.
