Detailed explanation-1: -The “middle passage, ” which brought the slaves from West Africa to the West Indies, might take three weeks. Unfavorable weather conditions could make the trip much longer. The Transatlantic (Triangular) Trade involved many continents, a lot of money, some cargo and sugar, and millions of African slaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Boston’s “Cradle of Liberty, ” Faneuil Hall, stands only steps away from sites where merchants sold enslaved Africans whom they had trafficked across the Middle Passage from West Africa to North America.
Detailed explanation-3: -Goods and people flowed from Europe, Africa, and North America in the system of transatlantic trade.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was the second of three stages of the so-called triangular trade, in which arms, textiles, and wine were shipped from Europe to Africa, enslaved people from Africa to the Americas, and sugar and coffee from the Americas to Europe.
