The Middle Passage is the 2nd leg of the triangle trade (a trade route from England to the New World) that carried enslaved Africans and many goods across the Atlantic Ocean. The Middle Passage could be considered one of the worst things that could happen to a slave during their lifetime. The conditions were terrible, and resulted in many deaths. The triangle trade started in the late 16th century, and continued to run until the late 19th century.
African slaves were kidnapped from their homes and taken from their families and everyday lives. Those taken from their families never saw them again, or lived to tell of the tragedies.
A large portion of slaves were sent to the new world on trade ships. Trade ships were built to fit as many slaves
