Middle Passage:
the voyage that brought African slaves over to the Americas; were treated very poorly
Used Africans instead of the Natives for slave labor because...
- Africans were already exposed and immune to European diseases
- Africans don't know the land as well making it harder for them to escape
- already had experience with European farming
- made it hard for them to escape because of their skin color
