The slave trade is a chain of events that ultimately involved one country's thriving economy, at the price of actual human life from another. The slave trade, also known as the "triangular trade", was the trading that went on in between Europe, Africa, and then the Americas. Slaves, rum, molasses, gold, and other exotic materials were exported from Africa and brought to America, where the slaves were auctioned off and put to work in plantations. From the resources collected in the plantations by slaves, the Americans then do trade with Europe and get European goods, then the cycle just starts all over again.
