The Middle Passage refers to the brutal sea journey undertaken by enslaved Africans who were forcibly transported to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. This voyage, often lasting several weeks, was marked by horrific conditions, including overcrowding, disease, and high mortality rates. Enslaved individuals were subjected to inhumane treatment, chained together in cramped quarters, and many did not survive the journey. The Middle Passage is a critical and tragic aspect of the history of slavery and its lasting impacts on societies.
