Question

which is an accurate description of the transatlantic slave trade?
native american slaves were sent to europe in exchange for sugar and molasses.
slaves went from europe to africa, and then to the americas in a circle of trade.
africans traded tobacco and furs for captured arabs whom they sold into slavery.
africans were brought to the americas in a three - part system of triangular trade.

Explanation:

The trans - Atlantic slave trade was part of the triangular trade. In the triangular trade, European ships went to Africa (carrying goods like guns), traded for enslaved Africans, then took the enslaved Africans to the Americas (where they were sold for raw materials like sugar, tobacco, and cotton), and finally took those raw materials back to Europe. Native Americans were not sent to Europe in large numbers for this trade. Slaves did not go from Europe to Africa first. Africans did not trade tobacco and furs for captured Arabs in the context of the trans - Atlantic slave trade.

Answer:

Africans were brought to the Americas in a three - part system of triangular trade.
