Here are some of the conditions that slaves faced during the Middle Passage: They were packed tightly into the holds of ships, often with no more than 6 square feet of space per person. They were chained together, and they were not allowed to move around freely. They were given very little food and water, and they were often forced to drink their own urine. They were exposed to disease, and many died from illnesses such as cholera, dysentery, and yellow fever. They were often beaten and abused by the crew of the ship. The Middle Passage was a long and dangerous journey, and it is estimated that between 10 and 20 million Africans died during the voyage.
