Transporting enslaved Africans directly to the British colonies in North America was not a common component of the Transatlantic Triangular Trade. Only five percent of the Africans who were enslaved by European traders ended up in the American colonies; most of them were kept in (or they stayed in) the West Indies to work on sugar plantations. There were exceptions to that, of course. But many of the North American slaves were either from the Caribbean (the descendants of African slaves) or they were African slaves who traveled through Central and South America before arriving in the British colonies.
