Triangular+Trade

The triangular trade was a slave trade route that ran from Europe to Africa to the New world and back. Europe would sell and barter many goods to Africa for the slaves there. The European ships would then take the slaves to the New world and sell them there. The ships are then cleaned and sent back to Europe to make another trip. The major goods that were sold on the trade were sugar, molasses, rum and of course slaves.



Most slaves in Africa came from the north west coasts in the countries of Senegal, Guinea, Liberia, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, the D.R. Congo, Angola and Mozambique.
