jan 1, 1749 - The Institution of Slavery: Triangular Trade, Middle Passage( CUL, POL, WXT)

Description:

Triangular Trade is a process that used slaves as a sort of middle man for trading their rum. It would consist of the Royal African company who monopolized the slave trade and a slave-trading eutrepenure to set out on a treacherous voyage in wich they would go to the coat of New England where they collected rum to trade for slaves in Africa. The next part of the triangular trade was called the Middle passage in which they would set off on a treacherous journey in wch many slave lives were lost. They then went to the West indies where they traded the slaves for sugar cane. Finally they went back to the port of New England to start the rum making process and continue the endless cycle. The slave-trade entrepreneurs usually made a large amount of profit even if many slaves were lost in the process.
