The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans[1]were shipped to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade. Ships departed Europe for African markets with manufactured goods, which were traded for purchased or kidnapped Africans, who were transported across the Atlantic as slaves; the slaves were then sold or traded for raw materials,[2]which would be transported back to Europe to complete the voyage.

Why did only six enslaved africans survive the middle passage?

The survival of only six enslaved Africans during the Middle Passage can be attributed to the horrific conditions aboard slave ships, where overcrowding, disease, malnutrition, and abuse were rampant. Many enslaved individuals succumbed to illness or died from the brutal treatment they endured. Additionally, the traumatic experience of being captured and transported across the Atlantic significantly impacted their survival rates. The overall mortality rate during this journey was alarmingly high, reflecting the inhumane nature of the transatlantic slave trade.
