<em>Middle Passage.</em>
Explanation:
The Atlantic slave trade was known for bringing slaves and other goods to different parts of the world, along with its abuse and brutality.
There were different parts to the Atlantic slave trade, bringing different goods to different places, like Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The Middle Passage would bring slaves from Africa to the Americas.
Slaves that were on the Middle Passage were treated horribly. They lived in very poor and crowded conditions, it was not sanitary at all which often made diseases spread among the slaves and many of them died from just that alone. The sailors on the ships would not see the slaves as people and treated them poorly as well, often beating them if they did not obey orders.
In the end, 1/5 of the slaves that were on the Middle Passage died. Either from starvation, dehydration, disease, brutality, or other factors.

False.
Explanation:
Japan began its drive toward modernization and catch-up with the West in the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The shogun lost his power, the emperor played a more significative role and a new elite administrated the state. Western models and patterns were adopted, official missions were sent to the most advanced countries to study their modern educational, administrative, industrial, defense, commercial and scientific systems and solutions. There was no more place for the samurais and their lifestyle. Some members of the old samurai class simply became part of the new elites. The old samurai way of life simply died. However, Japan retained many unique elements of its culture and idiosyncracy.
