question 2 of 10
why was the transatlantic slave trade also known as
the triangular trade?

select a response.

slave ships were marked by a triangular flag that made it
easy to identify them.

european kings signed all charters with a seal in the shape
of a triangle.

sugar, gold, and enslaved people were the only three
products traded.

shipping routes were between europe, africa, and the
americas.

Explanation:

The transatlantic slave trade was called triangular trade because the shipping routes formed a triangle between Europe (where goods were sent to Africa), Africa (where enslaved people were taken), and the Americas (where enslaved people were sold and goods like sugar were sent back to Europe). The other options are incorrect: triangular flags or seals don't relate to the trade's name, and more than three products were traded.

Answer:

D. Shipping routes were between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
