Triangle Trade 1450-1750

      The triangle trade brought people from Africa through the middle passage as slaves. The people were stolen then taken to slave factories. 20% of the people taken from Africa died on the way to the Americas. Some from suicide, illness, or thrown overboard because they didn't have enough supplies on the boats. Only 5% went to North America, most went to South America to places like Brazil, or to the Caribbean. The slaves ment for North America spent some time in the West Indies.
