True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangular slave trade occurred in the late 16th to early 19th centuries. This "triangle trade" had three legs to it, one of them being Europe transporting manufactured goods to the east coast of Africa.

The first leg was the transportation of manufactured goods from Europe to Africa. These goods could be things like guns, alcohol, textiles, etc. When the Europeans would arrive and deliver the goods, they would then receive enslaved Africans.

The second leg was the transportation of the slaves that the Europeans had got from the first leg to the Americas. This is also known as the Middle Passage. The Middle Passage was known to be horrific, many Africans were stuffed into cramped quarters. Since the living quarters were so cramped, many caught diseases and ended up dying along the way. They were allowed little food and drink, sometimes even being abused by the white men on the ship.

The third leg was the transportation of goods from the Americas back to Europe. After the slaves had been delivered to the Americas, the Europeans were to go back to Europe. They would usually bring raw materials and goods back, mostly ones that were grown. Some of these goods would be cotton, tobacco, indigo, and coffee.
