Question

True or False Triangular Trade brings together colonies in the New World, Old World European nations, and the continent of Africa. African people were enslaved and sold to plantations in the Americas. This journey across the Atlantic Ocean is known as the Middle Passage. Many African slaves were forced to work on sugar plantations in the Americas. The raw sugar, once it had been harvested, was considered a raw material.Raw sugar would have then been shipped to Europe where it would be processed into table sugar or rum. 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 New World, European nations, and Africa. This system included the Middle Passage, the journey of enslaved Africans to the Americas, where they mainly worked on plantations, notably sugar plantations. The raw sugar produced was indeed considered a raw material that was shipped to Europe for processing, and the finished goods were then sent to Africa in exchange for more enslaved individuals.
