Answer 2

== == The Middle Passage was a disgusting travel from Africa to the United States. The slaves lived in their own filth and waste while laying arm to arm in a line on "shelves" that the ship had. The shelves had just enough room for a slave to fit on.

Answer 3

Some conditions on the middle passage were they had to lay in faeces and vomit as well as having rats and bugs crawling on them. Also to make them move aroud they whipped them and put salt on them.

Answer 4

The second middle passage was the second part of the Triangular Slave Trade. This was the most dangerous and many lives were lost during the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean from Africa. They were shackled and forced to lie down for months, due to space constraints, in pools of excrement and blood. There wasn't enough food, so many died of starvation. If given the chance, some committed suicide by throwing themselves in the ocean. Getting "exercise," meant being brought up on deck and forced to dance by sailors using whips. Widespread rape of female slaves was a common occurrence. The mortality rate of slaves making the middle passage was 11%.

Answer 5

The condition of the middle passage was very disease ridden, dead people either stayed on the ship or were tossed overboard, death occurred by disease, famine, or lack of water, and everybody was lied down on the ship's deck where there wasn't even an inch of space between any two people. The middle passage had a very gruesome condition.
