The Triangular Trade Route

The Triangular Trade Route was established between the 13 Colonies, England & Europe, Africa, and the West Indies. Each area was known for the goods that were grown and produced there. Soon, a trade relationship was set up among the four areas. Each exported goods they produced to the other areas while importing goods they wanted from one another. The trade routes formed a sort of triangular shape, which is where it got its name.
