Slaves faced many hardships while being shipped across the Atlantic. Crowded and unsanitary conditions resulted in massive disease outbreaks on ships. Malnutrition affected most slaves to some degree, as good food was not avaliable on ships. Slaves sometimes killed themselves, or were killed as punishment for rebellion. An estimated 15% of slaves died during transport.
