Atlantic System

The American System was from the 1600's to the late 1800's. The triangle trade was when slaves where being traded to the New world. The slaves were taken from Africa to Euroupe then traded to North and South America. It is important because it was the first time slaves came to be. The slaves were there to labor coffe, gold mines, cotton, rice fields, timber, or in houses to do work around the house. This also was a cause of the civil war.
