The Middle Passage
The Slave Trade
The Middle Passage
The Middle Passage is about the Europeans trying to get slaves to work for them. They went to Africa to get slaves, they kidnapped alot of African. :(
The Amount of People
The Europeans took hundreds of Africans at once.
Europeans were Kidnappers
The Europeans kidnapped Africans to take them to the New World, to be slaves.
The Horrible Conditions
The Africans were treated so bad they were willing to go overboard instead of being a slave. If they were lucky they would get eaten by a shark.
Plaque
The Middle Passage has been seen as the most horrific account of slave trade, still not alot of people know about it. The Middle Passage is an imaginary "road", that was in the Atlantic Ocean on their way to the New World. We did this because we need to remember how hard it was then.But they had it so bad in the little place where they were they were willing to jump off the boat and drown or be eatin by sharks. They get beat everyday and night for anything they did wrong.
