We have focused on what the slaves did, but do not forget what the fur trappers exported.

The transatlantic slave trade brought enslaved Africans to be sold for high profits in Europe.

Yes, the cotton industry also played a significant role in driving the sale of slaves for high profits in Europe. Following the invention of the cotton gin in the late 18th century, cotton production boomed in the southern United States. European textile industries had a high demand for cotton, and this demand was met by the labor-intensive cultivation and processing of cotton on plantations in the American South, which relied heavily on enslaved African labor. Consequently, enslaved Africans were brought to the Americas and sold as property to work on cotton plantations, generating substantial profits for American and European slave traders, plantation owners, and textile manufacturers.

Yes, sugar was another commodity that drove the sale of enslaved Africans for high profits in Europe. The cultivation of sugar cane in the Caribbean islands, particularly in colonies like Brazil, the French West Indies, and British colonies like Jamaica and Barbados, required extensive labor. Enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to these sugar plantations to work in grueling conditions, harvesting, processing, and refining sugar. The demand for sugar in Europe, particularly during the sugar boom of the 17th and 18th centuries, was significant, resulting in high profits for plantation owners and European merchants involved in the sugar trade. The labor-intensive nature of sugar cultivation made the use of enslaved Africans essential to profit from the industry.

You are absolutely correct. The fur trade played a significant role in the early colonization and economic development of North America. European fur trappers, known as coureurs des bois or voyageurs, established trade networks with Indigenous peoples to procure valuable fur pelts. These pelts, primarily from animals like beavers, otters, foxes, and minks, were highly sought after in Europe for their use in fashion and clothing. The fur trade brought considerable profits to both European traders and Indigenous communities involved in fur trapping and trading. This trade not only shaped the economy but also influenced exploration and settlement patterns across North America. The fur trade remains a crucial part of the historical narrative of the early European presence in the Americas.
