How did the Triangular Trade work?
How did the Triangular Trade work?
The Triangular Trade worked in the following way: Great Britain exported copper, manufactured clothes, guns,ammunition and silk to Africa. In Africa, they exchanged the goods collected in Britain for enslaved women, men and children, which were shipped to North America. In North America, they then received in exchange for the slaves: sugar,rice, tobacco, coffee and cotton, goods that were later on exported to Great Britain.
In the Slave Trade, traders would set out from European ports to Africa's West Coast, where they bought Africans in exchange for goods. Once in America, the Africans who had survived the journey were sold and forced to work as slaves. The ships then returned to Europe with goods such as sugar, tobacco, coffee, rice and cotton.

I think it was a good idea but at the same time it wasn't, because even though it involved slaves, and treating people like they're objects, they were still making a strong relationship trading goods with other countries. Still it wasn't good because the main point was to exchange slaves. Posted by Unknown at 2:08 PM
