nov 1, 1769 - Triangular Trade

Description:

The Triangular trade flourished between the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Slaves from Africa were sent to America to work on plantations or to create raw materials where the materials would be sent to Europe. These raw materials would then be used to create products that the Europeans could sell back to America or other countries. This also created smuggling and conflict between different countries over who could sell goods to their colonies.
