The triangular trade involved European colonial powers, African traders, and American colonies. European powers traded goods such as textiles and firearms to African traders in exchange for slaves, who were then sold to work on plantations in the American colonies. The American colonies exported raw materials such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton back to Europe.
Sugar was produced in the Caribbean colonies, especially in places like Jamaica, Barbados, and Haiti, where sugar plantations were established using enslaved African labor. The sugar was then exported to Europe as part of the triangular trade system, where it was in high demand and profitable.
The New England colonists exported rum to the French West Indies.
