  Triangular trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A "triangular trade" is any three-way exchange, but the term is often used to refer to one particular instance: the 18th century trade between Europe, the west coast of Africa, and the Caribbean.
The term "Triangle Trade" is also used to refer to a trade pattern which evolved after the American Revolutionary War between Great Britain, the colonies of British North America, and British colonies in the Caribbean.
The trade pattern existed through the 19th century and in some format in the 20th century until it was disrupted by the Second World War.

 Ralph A. Austen | The Slave Trade as History and Memory: Confrontations of Slaving Voyage Documents and Communal ...
THE publication of the Du Bois Institute transatlantic slave trade dataset represents a major landmark in the kind of historical research that an earlier generation of scholars would have described without inhibition as "objective." The value of these documents lies not only in their scope but also in their provenance.
By contrast, African and African-American memories (or oral traditions) of the slave trade are unambiguously subjective.
They fall into three categories that derive from the salient areas of confrontation in slave trade historiography, particularly with regard to the genealogy and contents of the DuBois Institute dataset: memory as empirical historical source, memory as moral consciousness, and memory as racial politics.
