Today many hurricanes go from Africa to the Caribbean to the United States
this is possible because of the natural winds that go in that direction
they are called trade winds
it also made ships with sails travel faster in those directions during American colonial times
The colonies needed lots of people to work on farms.
The people who owned the colonies (called European powers) wanted to make lots of money by trading with Africa.
The colonies became better at trading, which made it easier to trade with Africa.
More and more trade happened between Africa and the American colonies because the colonies needed people to work and the people who owned the colonies wanted to make money.
