Explain why new england- where few slaveholders lived was involved in the triangular trade?

The triangular trading system was not only used to sell/buy slaves, many countries benefited from other resources that were scarce in their lands. New England would trade for sugar from the Caribbean, distill it into rum, ship the profits from the rum to West Africa to trade for slaves, where the slaves were then shipped to the Caribbean to work on sugar plantations.
