Question 10 • 670201 World History S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

How did the Atlantic slave trade impact the Americas’ role in triangular trade?

Answer
A
It increased the number of enslaved laborers forced to grow crops that were exported from the Americas to Europe.
B
It decreased the number of enslaved laborers used to grow crops that were exported from the Americas to Europe.
C
It decreased the use of enslaved laborers in factories that manufactured goods to be sold in the Americas.
D
It increased the number of enslaved laborers forced to work in European factories that sold manufactured goods to the Americas.

Explanation

The Atlantic slave trade forcibly brought millions of Africans to the Americas, where many were made to work on plantations growing sugar, tobacco, and other export crops. Those crops were shipped from the Americas to Europe as part of triangular trade. Thus, the trade increased the number of enslaved laborers producing goods for export, not factory workers in Europe.
