Triangular Slave trade pattern
A
The first stage of the Triangular Trade involved taking manufactured goods such as cloth, tobacco, metal goods, and cowrie shells from Europe to Africa. These goods were exchanged for African slaves.
The second stage of the Triangular Trade (the Middle Passage) involved shipping African slaves to the colonies.
The third and final stage of the Triangular Trade involved the return to Europe. Ships returned with goods from the plantations such as cotton, sugar, and tobacco.
