Compared to other regions such as the West Indies, South America, and the Southern Colonies in North America, the New England colonies typically had fewer enslaved people living there. However, the New England colonies still benefitted economically from the Triangular Trade. For one thing, goods produced by enslaved people in the West Indies, such as sugar and molasses, were bought cheaply by people in New England. For another, plantation owners in the West Indies purchased goods from New England, providing business for New England industries. New England goods purchased in the West Indies typically included fish, rum, and textiles. Finally, raw materials from New England, such as lumber, were purchased by manufacturers in Europe, to make goods which would then be traded for enslaved people in Africa.
