The second leg of the triangular trade, often referred to as the "Middle Passage," involved the transportation of enslaved Africans to the Americas. Ships would leave Europe loaded with goods, such as textiles and firearms, which were traded in Africa for enslaved people. These enslaved individuals were then transported to the New World, where they were sold to work on plantations, particularly in the Caribbean and southern colonies of North America. This brutal journey was marked by inhumane conditions and significant loss of life.
