Detailed explanation-1: -The transatlantic slave trade generally followed a triangular route: Traders set out from European ports towards Africa’s west coast. There they bought people in exchange for goods and loaded them into the ships. The voyage across the Atlantic, known as the Middle Passage, generally took 6 to 8 weeks.
Detailed explanation-2: -The triangle, involving three continents, was complete. European capital, African labour and American land and resources combined to supply a European market. The colonists in the Americas also made direct slaving voyages to Africa, which did not follow the triangular route.
Detailed explanation-3: -The triangular trade was the trade between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Raw materials like precious metals (gold and silver), tobacco, sugar and cotton went from the Americas to Europe. Manufactured goods like cloth and metal items went to Africa and the Americas.
