The Final Passage was the journey from the port of disembarkation in the Americas to the plantation or other destination where they would be put to work. The First Passage was the forced march of African slaves from their inland homes, where they had often been captured by other tribes or by other members of their own tribe, to African ports where they were imprisoned until they were sold and loaded onto a ship. The proceeds from selling slaves was then used to buy products such as hides, tobacco, sugar, rum, and raw materials, which would be transported back to northern Europe (third side of the triangle) to complete the triangle. Slave ships transported the slaves across the Atlantic (second side of the triangle). Ships departed Europe for African markets with manufactured goods (first side of the triangle), which were then traded for slaves with rulers of African states and other African slave traders. The Middle Passage was the stage of the Atlantic slave trade in which millions of enslaved Africans were transported to the Americas as part of the triangular slave trade. Enslaved Africans were then traded for raw materials, which were returned to Europe to complete the " Triangular trade". Africans were in turn brought to the regions depicted in blue in the Americas, in what became known as the "Middle Passage". Commercial goods from Europe (dark green) were shipped to Africa (areas in red) for sale and traded for enslaved Africans.
