All Around the World

The map my group created shows the Transatlantic trade. The Transatlantic trade is the trade that took place across the Atlantic ocean linking Europe, Africa and the Americas for about 4 centuries. Lots of slaves, food and raw materials were sent using this trade route.
This is the map we created

 

In North America, there were three main colonies responsible for trading. Boston, Philadelphia and New York. They probably had the most people and goods to export. Food items were the main export for most places meaning that people were most likely interested in new food from North America. There were raw materials being traded from America to England and then finished items such as furniture and. This is an example of mercantilism where England is the mother country and America is the colony.
