::In sum, "triangular" describers North American involvement; it would however be a mistake to say 10 million plus were part of "triangular trade."

==So, the actual routes were...==
*Gold Coast to the West Indies carry slaves;
*West Indies carrying molasses to North America;
*North America to Gold Coast carrying rum.
*North America was never more than 5% of the global slave trade;
*European manufactured goods (other than ships) played little or no part in Triangular Trade.
*The bulk of north American rum was carried by Dutch and French traders.
