The most famous trade route was the triangle trade which involved:
a!. From the New England colonies to Africa!. They brought
rum and traded it for slaves!.
b!. The New England merchants took the slaves to the
Caribbean and exchanged the slaves for molasses and
sugar, needed to make rum!.
c!. They then took the molasses and sugar to New England
to start it all over again!.
In order to understand the NATURE of the trade you have
to understand the word the word MERCANTILISM!. This
term means that the colony exists for the good of the
mother country
1!. colonies supply Engand with raw materials wood for
their wooden ships etc!.
2!. England sold its colonies finished products which the
colonies could legally only buy from England!. Navigation
Acts said so!.
England's caribbean Colonies were more valuable than
the 13 colonies in trade value!. Sugar was the original
white powder of great value!. As long as England made
BIG MONEY from their trade they werelax on the trade rules
but after the French Indian War 1756-63!. Things would
change!.
