The reason it was called this was because of the trade route used for slavery. Ships went to Africa to pick up slaves from local tribes then travelled to America to sell the slaves to plantation where they picked up crops such as tobacco & sugar, then crossed the Atlantic again to sell the goods in London. If you plot these 3 countries and the route travelled on a map you create a triangle. Hence the Golden Triangle or triangle trade route.
The trading of African slaves, needed for cheap labor, for goods such as molasses, cotton, and whiskey, between the American Colonies (and later the United States) and the European and African powers. The flow of slaves to goods to money to slaves was conducted in a shipping triangle .
the americas provided raw material, the europeans provided manufactured goods, and africa provided slaves
Europe imported goods 2 Africa Africa imported slaves to America then America imported sugar to Europe
Yes and no. Slavery never caught on in Britain and a few other European countries. European traders sold European goods to another country in return for slaves. Those slaves would be sold to another country which, in turn, provide things like sugar, tea and other luxurious items as payment. This rather unfair and mostly cruel trade contributed to the agreement of the abolition of slavery in 1807 and the final bill of slavery being made illegal in 1833.
Atlantic triangle is known as triangle trade. Triangle trade is the trade of slaves and rum.

Slaves, sugar, and rum in the 18th century.
it was either the 'triangle trade' or the 'middle passage' I've heard both :)
The triangle trade led to many people from Africa being taking as slaves reducing the working population in africa It brought guns and alcohol.
Considering that slaves were one leg of the triangle, it depleted their numbers.
The triangular trade affected slave trade by increasing the number of slaves available to be traded. Because there were more goods to trade for slaves and more ports being visited there were more slaves to trade. The triangle trade, however, resulted in more deaths of slaves before reaching their final destination as ships were so overcrowded with slaves.
