Question 3

Identify the following terms.
-Middle Passage

Accepted Answer

The Middle Passage refers to the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade. Ships departed Europe for African markets with manufactured goods, which were then traded for captured Africans, who were transported across the Atlantic, which constitutes the Middle Passage. The enslaved Africans were then sold or traded for raw materials, which would be transported back to Europe to complete the cycle.

The Middle Passage was notorious for its brutality and for the inhumane conditions aboard the slave ships. Enslaved people were densely packed onto ships and had to endure horrific conditions for weeks or months at sea. They faced extreme overcrowding, disease, inadequate food and water, and physical abuse from the ship's crew. Mortality rates were high, and it is estimated that the transatlantic slave trade resulted in the forced migration of some 12 to 15 million Africans from the 16th to the 19th century, with a significant number of these individuals dying during the Middle Passage due to the harsh conditions.

The Middle Passage is a critical aspect of the history of slavery and the African diaspora, and it has had a lasting impact on the cultural and demographic landscape of the Americas. The term is also symbolic of the suffering, struggle, and resistance of enslaved Africans during the era of the transatlantic slave trade.
