It's kind of the same thing when we talk about the United States. It's North America, but we refer to it as the U.S, or America. The terms are interchangeable. It also depends on the time frame that they are discussing as well.

What term is often used to refer to Southwest Asia?

Southwest Asia is a subregion of the Asian continent that includes Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Bahrain, Cyprus, Georgia, among other countries. Much of Southwest Asia has been referred to as the Middle East, although in global organizations the term is seen as European-centric (since this area is east of Europe) and has fallen out of use. This area is where Judaism, Christianity and Islam all started, as well as being host to many ancient cultures that contributed greatly to the foundation of modern countries, cultures and languages.

Why did historians refer to the slave trade in the US as the second middle passage?

Historians refer to the slave trade in the US as the "second middle passage" because it involved the forced migration of enslaved Africans within the United States, particularly from the Upper South to the Deep South, to meet the growing demand for labor in cotton and sugar production. This internal trade mirrored the transatlantic middle passage in its brutality and dehumanization, as countless individuals were sold and transported under horrific conditions. The term emphasizes the scale and impact of this domestic trade, which significantly reshaped demographics and communities in the South.
