Characteristics Of The Triangular Trade

Slave trade routes had been previously established by the movement of indentured servants.

West Africans were complicit in the slave trade by capturing individuals from the interior and forcing them to port cities for sale.

Piracy posed a significant threat to slave ships during the Middle Passage.

Enslaved Africans were purchased with manufactured goods brought by the English and then transported to the Americas in exchange for natural resources.

Slave revolts were led by both captives aboard ships and free Black individuals who launched attacks from the shore.
