What was the three legs triangular trade?
The first leg of the triangle was from a European port to Africa, in which ships carried supplies for sale and trade, such as copper, cloth, trinkets,slave beads, guns and ammunition.[3] When the ship arrived, its cargo would be sold or bartered for slaves. On the second leg, ships made the journey of the Middle Passage from Africa to the New World. Many slaves died of disease in the crowded holds of the slave ships. Once the ship reached the New World, enslaved survivors were sold in the Caribbean or the American colonies. The ships were then prepared to get them thoroughly cleaned, drained, and loaded with export goods for a return voyage, the third leg, to their home port,[4] from the West Indies the main export cargoes were sugar, rum, and molasses; from Virginia, tobacco and hemp. The ship then returned to Europe to complete the triangle.
Differences between commerce and trade?
In this modern day and age there appears to be no difference between the words. The word Commerce derives from the Latin Commercium which means to trade. In the 14th Century the word Trade developed from a Dutch word meaning a Track or Course possibly referring to a Trading Ship involved in commerce. Also meaning 'to occupy oneself in something' . In the early 20th Century the word trade adopts an additional meaning other than being connected with commerce. 'Trade' in now refers to an exchange of motor vehicles. In sport, to 'Trade one player for another'. To 'Trade' off is to sacrifice one benefit for another.
