Who was the person that came to America and worked without pay to pay off the cost of their voyage?

Many people wanted to come to America from Europe, but a lot of people could not afford to pay for passage on a boat. These poorer folks who wanted to make a better life for their families had the option to come over on a boat, and then work off their debt as a slave for a period of around 7 years. This practice was known as indentured servitude.


What happened during the middle passage?

The "Middle Passage" refers to the trade routes from West Africa to the Caribbean, South America, and the southern United States that ships took to transport Africans as slaves for sale away from their homes. The Middle Passage is one of the most brutal and disgusting stories in human misery caused by other humans: Africans were often chained aboard the ships and underfed or not fed, forced to lie tightly in bunks in their own excrement, without the benefit of sun or water, for the four to eight weeks of the journey. Over half of the people who were moved in ships this way died. The Middle Passage in many ways exceeds and is at least comparable the abuses that are well-known from the Holocaust of the 20th century.the ships were often followed by sharks because of the females mestrual cycles.The slaves would know this and they would jump of the ship as there last resulotion(suicide).

How many people were killed during the middle passage?

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!
