Assuming you mean conditions on board a slave ship- in order to carry the largest number of slaves at one time, slaves were basically stacked together like piling up firewood. They were shackled together and could not move more than a few inches, and were left that way for days. They would be given just enough food and water so that MOST of them did not die.

Why is the slave trade bad?

The slave trade was morally objectionable because it involved the forced capture, transport, and exploitation of individuals against their will.
