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.

Triangular trade significantly benefited England and its North American colonies by facilitating the exchange of goods, resources, and enslaved people. England exported manufactured goods to Africa, where they traded for enslaved individuals, who were then transported to the Americas to work on plantations. The raw materials produced by these plantations, such as tobacco and sugar, were shipped back to England, fueling its economy and industrial growth. This system created a profitable loop that reinforced economic ties between England and its colonies.
