The Slave Triangle

The video explains the Slave Triangle, a trade route where ships from Liverpool and Bristol carried goods to Africa, exchanged them for slaves, and transported the slaves to the West Indies. In the West Indies, slaves were sold, and the ships were loaded with goods like tobacco, sugar, and cotton for the return journey to England.
