Triangular Trade: The slave trading system of Europe, Africa, and the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries

Guns, Iron, and Cloth were traded from Europe to Africa in Exchange for slaves

African slaves were then shipped to the Americas on what's known as The Middle Passage

In exchange, the Americas exported Rum, Sugar, and other Raw Materials back to Europe

Laws are eventually passed which restrict the enslavement of Christians

This leads slave traders to find a new reason to enslave Africans: Race

Europeans began "researching" the "biological differences" between Africans and Europeans

They justified that the slavery because Africans were "biologically inferior"

This "research" will form the justification of hundreds of years of slavery, and injustice against Africans in Europe, the Americas, and Africa
