What is the Triangular-trade?

As a general term, triangular trade is a system involving goods from three locations, each of which has a demand in one of the others. Goods from location 1 are transported to location 2, where they are traded for local goods; the goods from location 2 are transported to location 3, where they are traded for local goods; then the goods from location 3 are transported to location 1, where they are traded for local goods. The trade goes on and on, to the benefit of the traders, the shippers, and, hopefully, the people in the locations involved.As a specific term, the Triangular Trade was a system in which African slaves were traded for agricultural produce, which was traded for New World manufactured goods, which was traded for European manufactured goods, which was traded for slaves.Typically, the slaves were taken by ship from Africa to the Caribbean, where they were traded for molasses.
