Explanation:

Content: Each continent had a different good that they typically supplied: American Colonies: The English colonies supplied lots of natural resources, such as tobacco, lumber, sugar, etc. They bought lots of slave labor. Europe: The European countries bought the natural resources from North America to manufacture goods (guns, clothes, furniture, etc). They supplied most of the manufactured goods. Africa: West African leaders would trade slaves from inland to traders in exchange for European goods. A trader could start in North America, picking up lumber, tobacco, and other natural resources and sell them to Europe while picking up manufactured goods.
