The+Triangular+Trade

The Triangular Trade The triangle trade also called the Alantic economy linked Britain, the British colonies and Africa as the three points of a great triangle on the Atlantic Ocean. The triangular Trade Routes carried manufactured goods from Britain and raw materials from the 13 colonies and the West Indies in years after 1492. It was call the triangular trade because of the shape that the three legs of the journey made.On the first leg manufactured goods were taken from Europe and North America to Africa where they were traded for slaves.On the second leg African slaves were transported to America.On the last leg raw materials were taken from the Americans to Europe.The Triangular Trade was a system in which Africa slaves were traded.Instead of trading slaves, they also have trade good like crops, gunpowder,and sugar. Gunpowder was traded alot because they were more controlable with the slaves. A consequence that was due to this problem is that the warfair in Africa increaded due to the trade of guns. Due to the war we were able to see the increase of countires or states expaned (more). During this time there was also an increase in population instead of a decrease because crops that they were planting were replacing people. The crops that were the most important or common are potatos, corn, and manioc. The Columbian excange affected the Ameriacs, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Whne the spainards came to the Americas they brought things such as diseases, domesticated animals, plants, etc. The affect that it had on Asia is that the population increased quickly and China had serious economic problems as a result of too much silver. The slaves that were transported had an inspection before the were shipped. The owners wanted to see that they were fit for the job. then they would put them in very small decks with very little space to move. They went on about 10-15 days in those decks. [|The Triangular Trade] By the 1790s there were 480,000 enslaved people in British Caribbean colonies. It is estimated that 11-12 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic into slavery. many more of those slaves had died during capture and transportation.
