Explanation
Answer - B - Triangular Trade referred to the trading of slaves, rum, and molasses that occurred between the colonies, Africa, and England in the 1700s.
Key Takeaway: Triangular Trade basically involved trading rum from the colonies for slaves in West Africa. Slaves were shipped off to the West Indies, where they were sold for molasses and sugar. The molasses and sugar were transported to the colonies, where they were made into rum, which was then transported to and sold in West Africa, where the cycle would begin again.
