Why is the Triangular Trade so important? The triangular trade model allowed for the swift spread of slavery into the New World. Twelve million Africans were captured in Africa with the intent to enter them into the slave trade.
How did Africa benefit from the triangular trade?
Most enslaved people were sold to the Europeans by other Africans. Ashanti (modern day Ghana) traded enslaved people in exchange for goods such as cloth, alcohol and guns. They then used their new resources to become more powerful and to fight wars against their neighbours in order to capture more people to enslave.
