Estimates suggest that between 10-15% of enslaved Africans died during the Middle Passage, the transatlantic journey to the Americas. This translates to approximately 1.2 to 2.4 million deaths, as it is estimated that around 12.5 million Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas. Conditions aboard slave ships were horrific, with overcrowding, disease, and malnutrition contributing to the high mortality rate.

Slaves were treated bad. Many were laid on their sides so they could fit more slaves on the ship. The women were raped by the slave owners, not many survived. If any slave got sick or died they were thrown overboard so they would not make other slaves sick. Slaves were brought about once a week on deck to be exercised so they would look healthy before being sold. The slave owners would put oil on the slaves mouth to make them look as if they ate. Many slaves risked their lives by throwing themselves overboard. Where the slaves slept on the ship there was no light, not much air, their were smells of dead bodies, vomit, and blood. Not many slaves survived, only a few made it to America.
