The main product that fueled the triangular trade was enslaved Africans, who were forcibly transported from Africa to the Americas to work in plantations, particularly in the production of sugar, tobacco, and cotton. This brutal trade system involved ships traveling between three regions: Europe, Africa, and the Americas. European ships transported manufactured goods to Africa in exchange for slaves, who were then sold in the Americas. The products harvested from enslaved labor were sent back to Europe, creating immense wealth for European traders and colonial powers. This trade had devastating effects on African communities and is a significant chapter in the history of colonialism and slavery.
