Triangular trade started in the mid-15th century. Trading took place between America, Europe and Africa. It was also referred to as the Trans-Atlantic trade, as the route used to conduct this trade was on the Atlantic Ocean.
The core of the triangular trade, ca. 1600-1800, was the exchange of slaves for materials and goods â African captives brought to eastern Atlantic ports, exchanged for gold or British manufactured products, then transshipped brutally to colonial depots â Charleston, New Orleans, the Caribbean islands, and in smaller numbers, New York, for example.
