Slave Trade

• There was a compromise called "The Triangular Trade".
• This compromise involved lot of trading; it started of with the Europeans trading goods to Africa like copper, guns, pots, manila,etc.
• Then Africa would trade goods to America like enslaved men, women, children.
• Finally America would trade goods to Europe like sugar, rice, rum,etc.
• The slave's journey to America was very crucial because there was many diseases and starvation on the ships and many of them died.
• During this era, the slave in America was only used as servants to the rishest people in America.
