Slave Trade Triangle
What is the Slave Trade Triangle? The slave trade triangle is where ships from Europe would trade guns with people from Africans from their captured people.

Once in America they would be treated horribly and forced to pick cotton and tobacco then all the goods are shipped to Europe.
