Secondary-source excerpt (c. 85 words): Economic historians describe the "triangular trade" as a shorthand for overlapping routes rather than a single fixed circuit. New England merchants shipped fish, lumber, and rum to the Caribbean; Caribbean planters exported sugar and molasses to North America and Britain; British and European traders carried manufactured goods and credit to African coasts, where enslaved people were purchased and transported to plantation zones. The profits depended on shipping, insurance, and imperial protection.
Which choice best explains why the triangular trade model is considered a simplification?
