HELP ME ILL GIVE EXTRA POINTS write three paragraphs and share how you feel after learning about the triangular trade. Be sure to include information about the triangle trade to support your response. The triangular trade was an economic system of trade between West Africa (which provided enslaved Africans to white merchants) to the Caribbean and Americas (where slaves were used to produce agricultural products) to Europe, which supplied manufactured goods and other items to colonists in Africa and the Americas.

In leg 1 of this horrific triangle, ships from England would sail to Africa with fabric, iron products, and weaponry. These would be traded for enslaved Africans, as well as ivory and spices, such as pepper.

In leg 2, the ships sailed from Africa to the American colonies and West Indies, a route that became known as the Middle Passage. The conditions in which slaves were shipped was sickening and many died before reaching America. The Middle Passage is forever associated with terrible suffering and terror. The slaves who survived were exchanged for goods such as tobacco, rum, or whale oil. The Africans were sent to plantations where they became enslaved workers.

In leg 3, ships from the Americas would return to England along with their goods and raw materials, such as timber, fur, and cotton. The English would use the raw materials to make "finished goods" such as clothing.
