What happened in the slave trade triangle?
The Slave Trade Triangle. During the slave trade there were three stages (hence the name "the slave trade triangle"). In the first stage, Europeans bought enslaved Africans in exchange for goods shipped from Europe. In the second stage, Africans were forced onto ships to go across the Atlantic ocean to America (also known as the "middle passage"). When finally reaching America, the Africans that had survived the intensely long journey were sold as slaves to work on plantations Finally, in the third stage, the Europeans would travel back to Europe loaded with goods produced on plantations using slave labour. It would take up to one whole year for the slave trade triangle to be completed.

What factors caused the slave trade to grow and how did this affect conditions on the Middle Passage?
The people of the colonies needed slaves. As farmers began to use fewer indentured servants, slaves became very valuable. People were willing to pay a lot for labor. As slaves became popular, the slave trade grew. The slave trade brought millions of Africans across the Atlantic ocean in a voyage called the Middle Passage. This affected conditions on the Middle Pasage because people were willing to pay a lot of money for labor. So, for greater profits, slave traders fit as many slaves as possible on board into spaces not even three feet high. The Middle passage was a terrifying and deadly journey that could last as long as three months. Thousands of captives died on the harsh journey.
