What is the Slave Trade Triangle?
Slave Trade Triangle is also known as the Triangular Trading System, that operated from the late 16th to early 19th centuries, carrying slaves, cash crops, and manufactured goods between West Africa, Caribbean or American colonies and the European colonial powers, with the northern colonies of British North America, especially New England, sometimes taking over the role of Europe.
What is the First Passage?
The First Passage was from Europe to Africa. The cargo on this passage was guns and weapons.
What is the Middle Passage?
The Middle Passage is where Africans were taken to the Caribbean and sold. They were bartered for a ship-load of tobacco and cotton.
The rest of the slaves were shipped to the USA and processed for auction. It was here where the Cotton, Tobacco, Sugar Cane and other products slaves produced were put in ships.
What is the Third Passage?
The Third Passage is when all the cotton, tobacco and other products are put back on ships and sent to Europe. Once the ships get to Europe, they are sold. Then more guns and weapons are purchased.
