The middle passage was a terrible experiance for the slaves as they were all chained up lying on wooden pannels which would often have more slaves above them, they we're fed disgusting nasty food and were abused physically and mentaly. They were often exercised and given fresh air once or twice a day and were made to dance etc. They were treated like this for many many weeks, even months. So thats why:)

The middle passage was stage two of slave relocation as I call it. It was called the middle passage because it was the second of three stages and also because it was when slaves sailed from West Africa to now known as America. It was also the time when the slaves were squished together and were on the revolting boat. They tell you this in school but the do not give a more specific answer.
Most of the African captives died during the middle passage because the passage could take up to several weeks to complete and there was a lack of food and exercise. And where the slaves would be staying was very unhygienic and unsuitable for someone to stay especially a human being.
