middle passage
ship trip
Have you never heard about the horrendous slave ships or "the Middle passage" Slaves were transported in conditions too terrib le to describe. Hundreds died on the trip between Africa and the America.
The trip from Africa to America, in the times of the slave trade, were trips filled with cramped space, death, starvation and disease. Those who traveled as slaves were kept trapped in the hold of the ship with only enough room for them to lay down while surrounded by others, and only enough food and water for some. If memory serves, approximately 30% of each group passed away during the trip due to the conditions.
Paul Cuffe, he used his own money to pay for the trip to Africa and back to America.
