Slaves were loaded in Africa and then transported to America on what was the middle passage of the triangular trade.
Ships traveling the Middle Passage primarily carried enslaved Africans being transported to the Americas. In addition to human cargo, these ships often carried goods such as rum, sugar, and other commodities that were part of the transatlantic trade. The journey was notorious for its brutal conditions, with many enslaved individuals suffering from overcrowding, disease, and malnutrition. The Middle Passage was a key component of the triangular trade system connecting Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

During the Middle Passage, ships primarily carried enslaved Africans who were forcibly transported from their homelands to the Americas. The journey involved overcrowded and inhumane conditions, as captives were packed tightly in the ship's hold. In addition to human cargo, vessels might also carry trade goods such as textiles, rum, and weapons to exchange for enslaved individuals in Africa. The Middle Passage was a key part of the transatlantic slave trade, profoundly impacting millions of lives and shaping the economies of the involved regions.
The term "Middle Passage" refers to that middle leg of the transatlantic trade triangle in which millions of Africans were imprisoned, enslaved, and removed from their homes. The Africans were then transported to the New Word. It is believed that up to two million Africans died directly attributable to the Middle Passage voyage.

The Africans were then transported across the Atlantic and sold or traded for raw materials. The raw materials would be transported back to Europe.
