Do you know where the name the Triangular Trade came from?

The Transatlantic Slave Trade was also known as the Triangular Trade because it was a three step process (like a triangle-three sides). The countries involved in this process were: France, England, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands.

The process was like this:

1st step: Europe (Bristol or Liverpool) -> the West coast of Africa

2nd step: Africa -> North America, West-Indies

3rd step: North America, West-Indies -> Britain

But what did ships from these countries deliver to each other?

Did it seem more as exchange?
