The Triangular Trade:
Following the arrival of Columbus in the New World in 1492, explorers viewed America as an obstruction in their voyages to trade in the Far East.
It was not until 100 years after Columbus that people realized it might be worth settling in North America. The permanent colony was settled in North America.
The original English colony in Virginia was settled in 1607. (1) The colony just managed to survive in the face of disease, starvation, and attacks by Native Americans.
By 1612 tobacco was being cultivated and was successfully (2) exported to Europe. There was a huge demand for sugar in Europe when tea and coffee became fashionable drinks.
Sugar cane grew well in West India, where huge plantations were established. (3) To provide workers for these plantations and for tobacco plantations on the American mainland, huge numbers of slaves were imported from West Africa.
They were bought from Arab slave traders or local chieftains and shipped in conditions of terrible suffering. The trade paid for their slaves with goods from England, which in turn were paid for with sugar from the West indies.
(4) In this way, a triangle trading route was established, taking goods from England to Africa, slaves from Africa to the West indies, and sugar from the West Indies to England.
