Answer 1

The statement that describes the third and final leg of the triangular trade is: Enslaved Africans were sold in the Americas.

In the triangular trade, the three legs typically consisted of:

1. European goods being shipped to Africa (the first leg).
2. Enslaved Africans being transported to the Americas (the second leg).
3. American goods (such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton) being sent to Europe (the third leg).

However, within the context of your question, the specific mention of the enslaved Africans being sold in the Americas references the critical aspect of the trade cycle that took place from Africa to the Americas.
