The trade route from Africa to the West Indies is called the 'blood passage' because slaves were picked up in Africa and taken to the West Indies. Slavers used to pick up far too many slaves for their ships to hold and so many died on the journey or were thrown overboard.
The trade route from New England to West Africa to the West Indies and back to New England is known as the Triangular Trade. This system involved the exchange of goods and enslaved people, where New England merchants would trade rum and other products for enslaved Africans in West Africa, then transport them to the West Indies to work on sugar plantations. The profits from sugar and molasses were then used to purchase more rum and goods, completing the triangle. This trade had profound economic and social impacts, contributing to the wealth of New England and the brutal institution of slavery.

Study shows that there was an impact on both the West Indies and on West Africa. The impact on West Africa for the most part was just negative, while the West Indies received alot of positive impacts due to the factor : Slavery. West Africa suffered a population decrease, while due to slavery the West Indies' population was increasing. Since the Europeans were trading with the Africans, the Africans were getting guns and other weapons which caused them to lower their values because they were killing up their own people in tribal wars, while the Europeans were trading the African for slaves that they used as laborers on their plantations to make themselves wealthier.

However, the impact in the Americas or West Indies was positive, while the impact was negative for the Africans of West Africa.
