The Triangle Trade was a historical trade network that involved the exchange of goods between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. It got its name from the triangular shape of the trade routes.
To determine the correct description, we need to understand the key components of the Triangle Trade: slaves, rum, and sugar.
In the given options, we see that slaves are involved in each trade, as well as rum and sugar. However, the key locations involved are Cuba, New England, and Africa.
Option 1 involves Cuba and New England, which does not align with the historical Triangle Trade routes that primarily connected Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
