Detailed explanation-1: -Middle Passage, the forced voyage of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World.
Detailed explanation-2: -The captives were about to embark on the infamous Middle Passage, so called because it was the middle leg of a three-part voyage–a voyage that began and ended in Europe. The first leg of the voyage carried a cargo that often included iron, cloth, brandy, firearms, and gunpowder.
Detailed explanation-3: -The “middle passage, ” which brought the slaves from West Africa to the West Indies, might take three weeks. Unfavorable weather conditions could make the trip much longer. The Transatlantic (Triangular) Trade involved many continents, a lot of money, some cargo and sugar, and millions of African slaves.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Middle Passage commonly refers to the experience of enslaved African people as they traveled across the Atlantic Basin to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade.
Detailed explanation-5: -The space was so cramped they were forced to crouch or lie down. Women and children were kept in separate quarters, sometimes on deck, allowing them limited freedom of movement, but this also exposed them to violence and sexual abuse from the crew. The air in the hold was foul and putrid.
