It transported materials that weren’t in the southern colonies. Stuff they needed and could get money from it benefit from. And they could also trade with the northern colonies so that they could have the materials they needed to be successful.

Answer:

In the Triangular Trade, enslaved Africans were imported from Africa to the American colonies as the labor force needed to produce cash crops, which were exported to Europe in exchange for manufactured goods.

Basically because of slavery.
