USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The English colonies in North America sent fish and lumber to the West Indies in exchange for enslaved people and sugar. Goods and people flowed from Europe, Africa, and North America in the system of transatlantic trade.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Atlantic slave trade used a system of three-way trans-Atlantic exchanges – known historically as the triangular trade – which operated between Europe, Africa, and the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries.

Detailed explanation-3: -How Did the Triangular Trade Work? The Triangular Trade network originated in the home country of Great Britain. Ships would sail south to Africa, then across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean or New England. The triangle would be completed by returning to Great Britain from either of these locations.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first stage of the Triangular Trade involved taking manufactured goods from Europe to Africa: cloth, spirit, tobacco, beads, cowrie shells, metal goods, and guns. The guns were used to help expand empires and obtain more slaves (until they were finally used against European colonizers).

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: European merchants would ship goods like guns, alcohol, textiles, and trinkets to African tribes in exchange for prisoners they had captured from enemy tribes. These prisoners, once sold to Europeans, became slaves on American and Caribbean plantations in the New World.
