∙ 14y agoSo many slaves died on the journey to America due to poor conditions. The cargo ships were packed with 300 to 450 African slaves each and the journey usually took about 100 days. The slaves were chained together in the hold with no space for sanitary needs, let alone standing room. There was an average 10 percent death rate, however if the journey was dealyed due to storms or adverse winds, that mortalisty rate rose. In addition to the poor conditions, the slaves were not accumstomed to the diseases of the Europeans; for example, their bodies were not accustomed to smallpox and typhus.
