Question

The "Middle Passage" referred to

Answer 1

Answer:

The Middle Passage was the part of the Triangular Trade Route across the Atlantic, over which Africans were transported from Africa to the slave markets in North America, South America, and the Caribbean.

The Middle Passage was so called because from Europe it was the middle part of the Triangle trade between Western Europe, Africa and America; ships sailed from Europe with goods for the African market to Africa, where the goods were sold or exchanged for slaves. The slaves sailed to America and the Caribbean, where they were exchanged at slave markets for goods that could be sold on the European market, after which they returned to Europe.

Answer 2

Answer:

the Middle Passage refers to the part of the trade where Africans, densely packed onto ships, and transported across the Atlantic to the West Indies.  The voyage took three to four months and, during this time, the enslaved people mostly lay chained in rows on the floor of the hold or on shelves that ran around the inside of the ships' hulls.

The shelves were under a meter high and often the enslaved Africans could not sit up. There could be up to more than six hundred enslaved people on each ship. Captives from different nations were mixed together, so it was more difficult for them to talk and plan rebellions. Women and children were held separately.

In the end, I think it is part of the African slavery that prevailed at the time
