The trade route you are referring to is known as the Triangular Trade. This system connected the West Indies, the American colonies, and West Africa, facilitating the exchange of goods such as sugar, rum, and tobacco from the Americas, enslaved Africans from West Africa, and manufactured goods from Europe. The brutal transportation of enslaved individuals was a central component of this trade, significantly impacting the economies and societies of all regions involved. This network contributed to the development of the Atlantic economy during the 17th and 18th centuries.
This is where the people who were forced into slavery came from.
The Europeans needed people to work on plantations or in mines.Slaves mostly from West Africa were used by the Spanish and Portuguese in their American colonies especially in agriculture such as cultivating sugar, but also in constrution of important buildings and public works.
The voyage of enslaved Africans from West Africa to the colonies is known as the Middle Passage. This journey was part of the transatlantic slave trade and involved inhumane conditions, where many enslaved individuals suffered from overcrowding, disease, and high mortality rates during the crossing. The Middle Passage was a key component of the triangular trade system that linked Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

A trade between Africa, Americas, and England
Why did Spain turn to Africa to provide labor for its Americas Colonies?
African colonies were now able to trade with South American colonies.
The triangular trade involved three key steps: First, ships from England would travel to West Africa, where they exchanged goods such as textiles and rum for enslaved Africans. Second, the ships would then embark on the Middle Passage, transporting the enslaved individuals to the American colonies, where they were sold into slavery. Finally, the ships would return to England, carrying products such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton produced by enslaved labor in the colonies, completing the triangular route.
Mainly rum.
Generally speaking, Great Britain shipped finished products to its worldwide empire. This included the American colonies, colonies in Africa and colonies on a global basis.

The trade between the 13 colonies and Britain was known as the triangular trade. This system involved the exchange of goods, including raw materials from the colonies, manufactured products from Britain, and enslaved individuals from Africa. It played a significant role in the economic relationship between the colonies and Britain, ultimately contributing to tensions that led to the American Revolution.
