The triangular trade was a major feature of international trade during the 1500s to the 1800s. It was called the triangular trade because it had three points: Britain (and sometimes other parts of Europe), West Africa, and North America (including the Caribbean islands).This part of the triangular trade saw raw materials obtained from North America sent to Europe. These raw materials included whale oil, lumber, and furs. These items came from the northeastern part of North America. Rice, silk, indigo, and tobacco came from the southern part of North America. Sugar and molasses were derived from the Caribbean (generally referred to as the West Indies during that time).Britain and Europe would then ship manufactured goods and other luxury items to North America. Over time, the British government would even pass laws to prevent the manufacturing of items in North America. This was done to ensure the focus of economic activity was on raw materials.

The response that accurately traces a portion of the triangular trade is: Enslaved people were sent from Africa to the Caribbean.

This reflects the historical reality of the triangular trade, where enslaved individuals were transported from West Africa to the Caribbean as part of the trade network. The other options do not accurately represent the established routes of the triangular trade.
