THE TRIANGULAR TRADE
The triangular trade was Europeans trade chain during the trans-attlantic slave trade.
It was referred to as the triangular trade because the trade took a triangular shape. Europeans will carry their old finished goods such as clothes, mirrors, Dry Gin and other considered by African leaderships or kings as prestigious goods. African kings will ignorantly receive these items with pleasure, feeling fulfilled. In return, Europeans will collect many slaves from African kings and sailed them across the Atlantic ocean to the New World (Americas). These young and energetic Africans taken away to the New World as slaves were put on plantation farms in the New World, where there were forced to work under inhumane conditions. With their leg chained to prevent them from escaping. Their mouths were not also spared from padlock, partly to prevent them from eating the sugar cane, corn and other farm products, and also to prevent them from talking to each other to avoid conspiracy and escape. Europeans will then, carry away the products from those plantations such as sugar, pepper, rice, maize among others to Europe where they were processed in to finish goods. The finished goods were then taken back to African and given to the African kings. The chain moves this way continue continuously-From Europe to Africa, from Africa to America, from America to Europe and from Europe back to Africa.
