The finished goods would be sent to Africa to pay for more enslaved people.

Answer 1

True. The statement accurately describes the Triangular Trade system, which involved the exchange of goods and enslaved people between the Americas, Europe, and Africa. African people were forcibly taken to the Americas, primarily to work on plantations, including sugar plantations. The journey across the Atlantic, known as the Middle Passage, was a brutal and inhumane experience. The raw sugar produced in the Americas was indeed shipped to Europe for processing, and the finished goods were often traded in Africa for more enslaved individuals.
