Question

Which part of the triangular trade system represents the area where crops, furs, and minerals were mined?

Answer 1

Answer: The Americas

The triangular trade is the name that is given to the transatlantic slave trade that operated between the 16th and 19th century. This trade carried slaves from Africa to America, cash crops and manufactured goods from America to Europe, and European goods to Africa. It is known as the triangular trade because of the shape this trade took. The Americas was the section of the trade in which crops were grown, furs were traded and minerals were mined. These were valuable goods for Europeans at the time.
