The Slave Trade Triangle




  1. On your blog explain
  2. What the Slave Trade Triangle was? West African slaves were exchanged for trade goods such as brandy and guns. Slaves were then taken from the 'Middle Passage' across the Atlantic for sale in the West Indies and North America. Finally, a cargo of rum and sugar 
    1. taken from the colonies, was taken back to England to sell.
    2. What the First Passage is?The First Passage was from Europe to Africa. The cargo on this passage was guns and weapons.
    3. What the Middle Passage is?Africans were taken to the Caribbean and sold. They were bartered for a ship-load of tobacco and cotton.
    4. What the Third Passage is?The rest of the slaves were shipped to the USA and processed for auction. It was here where the Cotton, Tobacco, Sugar Cane and other products slaves produced were put on ships.
