THE SLAVE TRIANGLE
The slave triangle was the route in which the process of slavery took place. It all started in the UK were the boats are boarded and loaded with Iron goods. Then they traveled down to Africa were they delivered the goods and in return an African tribe agreed to capture some other tribes for them. Then they were off with the slaves to america were the slaves were traded in for sugar, tobacco, and cotton which the slaves pick and look after. That is the slave triangle. More...
The first side of the triangle was the exportation of goods from Europe to
Africa. To sell or barter with, and then to purchase people for slaves. It
didn't take long to work out which items were the most sought after; and which
proved to be the most profitable. The second leg of the triangle transported the intended enslaved Africans
across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas and the Caribbean islands.
