many africans died during the middle passage because of the conditions they were kept in, every one was strapped to the wooden benches tightly so close together, and there were no toilets so the africans had to 'go' where they were, many of them were sick and they had to be sick over there faces. and if one of them caught a desease many of them would catch it also because they were so close together.And if one of them died, imagain being laid next to them :'(
The Middle Passage had devastating effects on Africans, as millions were subjected to brutal conditions during the transatlantic slave trade. Many Africans suffered from malnutrition, disease, and death during the journey. The trauma and brutality of the Middle Passage had long-lasting physical and psychological impacts on the survivors.

It is estimated that 100,000,000 Africans descendants were killed during the middle passage. European Christians, Jews, and Africans were apart of the Middle Passage, which was known as the Black Holocaust, but not one African nor his or her descendant has ever received reparations. Even the Jews who were a major part of the Middle Passage never admitted to playing a major role in slavery. Many more Africans were killed during the Black Holocaust than the Jewish Holocaust, but racism and those insideously involved in the Black Holocaust is the reason African descendants never received reparations and an apology. Those who say "never again" once did and still do to a people to this day. Racism lives!
The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which enslaved people were transported from Africa to the Americas aboard brutal and overcrowded slave ships.
The Middle Passage was a brutal journey across the Atlantic Ocean for enslaved Africans, resulting in high mortality rates due to overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and disease. Many endured extreme suffering, trauma, and loss of culture and identity during this voyage, contributing to the lasting impact of slavery on African descendants.
They were in chains in the bottom of the ship. Many died during the passage.

Enslaved Africans faced extremely harsh conditions during the Middle Passage, the journey across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. They were crowded together in the holds of slave ships, often chained and subjected to unsanitary conditions, disease, and extreme cruelty by the crew. Many did not survive the voyage due to illnesses, malnutrition, and suicide.
The way Black Africans were treated!! The Black Africans were treated really badly.They would be whipped for several days . they were kept in spaces of up to 1.5 m in height chained ankle to ankle, wrist to wrist- each man or women curled up. There was many suicide attempts and each slave was branded with its owners mark on her breast and his foot.
about 10 or 11 million survived the middle passage.
