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...
The Triangular Slave Trade was divided into three separate parts. First was Outward Passage along the Atlantic. Ships traveled between 6 to 8 weeks with goods to purchase human cargo. The second passage or Middle Passage was the most difficult and deadly. A lack of space, hygiene, food and water resulted in the deaths of about 10-20% of the slaves. The third or Return Passage came after the slaves were sold and the ships returned loaded with cotton, sugar, rum and spices to Europe.
...slaves didnt want to be left to carry cargo .. when it was overloaded on ships so they rebeled
The Voyage For Africans was Painful And Tragic
The term "Middle Passage" refers to that middle leg of the transatlantic trade triangle in which millions of Africans were imprisoned, enslaved, and removed from their homes. The Africans were then transported to the New Word. It is believed that up to two million Africans died directly attributable to the Middle Passage voyage. Triangle Trade (Explained) Ships loaded with commerical cargo departed Europe for Africa. While in Africa the Europeans traded their goods for kidnapped Africans. The Africans were then transported across the Atlantic and sold or traded for raw materials. The raw materials would be transported back to Europe.
