What w as the midlle passage?

The Middle Passage refers to the brutal sea voyage that transported enslaved Africans to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade, primarily between the 16th and 19th centuries. Enslaved individuals were forcibly taken from their homes, packed tightly into ships under horrific conditions, leading to high mortality rates due to disease, malnutrition, and abuse. This journey was a central component of the triangular trade, which linked Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The Middle Passage remains a significant and tragic chapter in the history of slavery and human rights.
