Slaves were loaded in Africa and then transported to America on what was the middle passage of the triangular trade.
RUM!!!! I think. :)
The middle passage, part of the Triangular Trade, carried slaves from Africa to America.
The middle passage was a slave transport rout from Africa to the New World... Half of all the the salve ships cargo would die in transport...
African slaves that were being shipped to north America
During the Middle Passage, ships primarily carried enslaved Africans who were forcibly transported from their homelands to the Americas. The journey involved overcrowded and inhumane conditions, as captives were packed tightly in the ship's hold. In addition to human cargo, vessels might also carry trade goods such as textiles, rum, and weapons to exchange for enslaved individuals in Africa. The Middle Passage was a key part of the transatlantic slave trade, profoundly impacting millions of lives and shaping the economies of the involved regions.
Slave traders viewed slaves as property to be bought and sold for profit. Treating them as cargo was a way to maximize their own financial gain. The inhuman conditions on the Middle Passage were often justified by the mindset that slaves were expendable and replaceable.
To book passage on a cargo ship, you can contact shipping companies directly or use online platforms that specialize in cargo ship travel. Be prepared for limited amenities and longer travel times compared to traditional passenger ships.
"The Middle Passage" is the name of the voyage which brought slaves into the new world. Henrietta Marie was the first and only slave cargo ship that was wrecked.
The conditions were grossly inhuman. The middle passage, from Africa to the Americas, was marked by starvation, disease, and cruelty. The slaves were tightly packed below decks and had little fresh air, and received only enough food and water to keep them alive. They were manacled or tied together in hot and dank cargo holds, with little or no toilet facilities.
