The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were forcibly transported 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, which would be transported back to Europe to complete the voyage. Voyages on the Middle Passage were large financial undertakings, generally organized by companies or groups of investors rather than individuals
Slaves' treatment was horrific because the captured African men and women were considered less than human; they were "cargo", or "goods", and treated as such; they were transported for marketing.

In Schenck v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled in 1919 that Schenck violated the Espionage Act. His campaign included printing and mailing 15,000 fliers to draft-age men arguing that conscription (the draft) was unconstitutional and urging them to resist. According to Schenck, conscription is a form of "involuntary servitude" and is therefore prohibited by the 13th Amendment. People were told to exercise their rights to free speech, peaceful assembly, and petitioning the government. Charles Schenck was imprisoned for expressing his beliefs after the court upheld the Espionage Act as constitutional. Schenck requested a new trial after he was convicted of violating the Espionage Act in 1917. He was denied the request. Afterward, he appealed to the Supreme Court, which agreed to review his case in 1919. This case later showed certain kinds of speech would be deemed illegal if it posed as a threat to the US’s needs.
