Moved goods between three points--Europe to Africa, Africa to Americas, and Americas to Europe.

The Triangular Trade moved manufactured good to Africa to trade for slaves. Slaves were then moved from African trading posts on the coast to the Americas. This leg of the journey was referred to as the Middle Passage. This leg of the trade typically ended in the Caribbean at slave trading cities where slaves were prepared for auction and sold to people throughout the Americas. The final leg of the trade moved raw resources like sugar, tobacco, cotton, rice, and other items to Europe to be refined into goods for trade.

The  commercial   good  were shipped  to  Africa  or  sale  and  traded  for  enslaved  Africans. African  in   turn  were  densely packed  onto  ship and were  transported  across atlantic to  the  west  indies. The  voyage  took  three  to  four  were by  the enslaved  people mostly laid  in  chained  row  on  the  floor  of  hold  or  shelves  that ran  around  the  inside  of  the  ship. Each  ship  has  more  than  600  slave  who  has  captured from  different  countries  and  hence  they  could  not   communicate  to  plan  for  their  rebellion ,
