Why do people call the slave trade the triangular trade?

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.

Did Europe gain slaves in the Triangle Trade?

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.
