The sea journey between West Africa and the Caribbean is known as the Middle Passage. This route was a central part of the transatlantic slave trade during the 16th to 19th centuries, where millions of enslaved Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas under horrific conditions. The journey was marked by overcrowding, disease, and high mortality rates among the captives. The Middle Passage remains a significant and tragic chapter in the history of slavery.
