The original Declaration of Independence

included a grievance blaming Great Britain for

forcing slavery on the American colonies. In

your opinion, was Jefferson correct? You must

use the term "triangular trade" in your answer.

Jefferson was right during his declaration of independence which included a grevance he held whereby he was blaming great britian for forcing slavery on the American colonies.

This is because, in the treaty signed which encouraged trade between Europe, Great britian and America, it was the suggestion of the pact that lead to goods bought in Africa to be exchanged for slaves who would be shipped to work in the plantation farms outside the Afrcan continent or in the local industries. The triangular trade among this three continent work like this:

Great Britian purchase slaves from Africa in exchange for the goods the gave them. The slaves would be put in the ships and moved to America where their is demand for labour for agricultural cultivation.

Once the ship arrived in the Americas, generally somewhere in the Caribbean, the slaves were unloaded, and sold to be used as laborers on large plantations. The money the ships got from slaves was used to purchase the agricultural products that the slaves were actually harvesting; things like tobacco, molasses, and sugar.

Those raw products from the Americas were shipped to Europe, the third leg of the triangular trade, where Europeans processed the raw supplies and made finished products.
