The previous question asked about the “Middle Passage” of the transatlantic trade route. Based on your answer to that question, you can infer that in the first part of that route
A) enslaved people were returned to their homes in Africa after being freed.
B) slave traders delivered sugar and other goods from Europe to North America.
C) ships from European ports brought goods to Africa in exchange for human beings.
D) indentured servants from Europe received passage to America in exchange for labor.
The correct answer is: C) ships from European ports brought goods to Africa in exchange for human beings.
Explanation: The Middle Passage refers specifically to the journey enslaved Africans were forced to endure across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. The first part of the transatlantic trade route involved European ships traveling to Africa to trade goods (such as textiles, guns, and alcohol) for enslaved individuals. This established a triangle of trade that included Europe, Africa, and the Americas. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
