Answer:Africa supplied the Americas with enslaved laborers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Beginning in the 16th century and lasting until the earlier years of the 19th century, a relationship based upon trade formed across the Atlantic Ocean, prompted mainly by the slave trade. The parties involved were Africa, America, and Europe, and just like during the Columbian Exchange, there was a diffusion not only of cultural elements and goods, but of disease and suffering. Africa was the continent most negatively impacted by the Triangle of Trade, as it came to be known due to the trade routes that formed a triangle in the ocean. America and Europe, however, saw more positive outcomes as a result of this triangular relationship. What each continent received was a bit different depending on the source of the goods. Europe sent manufactured goods, textiles, and luxuries such as rum to Africa. In Africa, men, women, and children were kidnapped and sold into slavery.
These enslaved people then forced to endure a brutal three-month journey to America on what is now known as the Middle Passage. America sent raw materials such as sugar, cotton, lumber, furs, and tobacco to Europe, and on and on the cycle continued.Though each continent had something to gain in these transactions - either through goods or through property in the form of slaves - there were also undeniably important impacts of engaging in these trade agreements. Millions of Africans were captured and sent not only to America, but to different locations around the world as slaves. Wars also tended to break out on the continent between groups of people, and it became especially contentious when various African groups began conducting raids to capture and sell people for a profit.
