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.
