Answer:

The goods traded by each continent at the triangular trade system were:

-Europe: guns, cloth, cash; Africa: slaves; Americas: sugar, furs, molasses

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangular trade was a commercial route that was established in the Atlantic Ocean from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, so it can be considered a long-standing historical phenomenon. Its denomination is due to the fact that, on the map, it traced a figure similar to a triangle, involving three continents.

It started with the departure from Western Europe with manufactures and supplies of all kinds. It was rescaled on the west coast of Africa, between the Senegal and Congo rivers, centered in the area generically known as Guinea, where some products could serve for the exchange. The product that was loaded there was black slaves, whose trade and supply, through continuous wars, was encouraged by elites and local merchants. The next stop was the islands of the Antilles and the American coast, where slaves and most European goods were sold, and colonial products (sugar, tobacco, cocoa) and precious metals were loaded back into Europe.
