In the triangular trade, American colonies primarily exported raw materials such as tobacco, cotton, sugar, and timber to Europe. They also traded rum and fish, particularly to the West Indies. These exports were crucial for fueling the European economy and supporting the plantation system in the Caribbean. In exchange, the colonies imported manufactured goods and enslaved Africans, completing the triangular trade cycle.
