The Middle Passage
The voyage that brought Africans to the West Indies.
Americans took Africans from their country and brought them into the West Indies by boat.
Some of the worst parts:
Spacing
Passengers got only 3 feet by 3 feet of space.
Killings
If an African was ill or not considered good enough there was brutal killings amongst them all.
Punishments
If anything was done against what they were supposed to there was:
-whippings
-branding
-brutal beatings (ect.)
Tightly packed
Slave ships were extremely crowded. Many slaves became sea sick or developed diarrhea. Could not move because they were chained into positions. The deck became a stinking mass of human waste. Many preferred to die rather than continue suffering with these horrible conditions.
