USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Middle Passage was the stage of the Atlantic slave trade in which millions of enslaved Africans were transported to the Americas as part of the triangular slave trade .

Detailed explanation-2: -A forced migration from Africa-the transatlantic slave trade-carried black people to the Americas. A second forced migration-the internal slave trade-transported them from the Atlantic coast to the interior of the American South.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the first 150 years of the trade, West Central Africa supplied nine out of ten African people destined for a life of slavery in the Americas. Except for a fifty-year period between 1676 and 1725, West Central Africa sent more slaves to the Americas than any other region.

Detailed explanation-4: -This voyage, now known as the “Middle Passage”, consumed some 20 per cent of its “human cargo”. Disease and death were common outcomes in this human tragedy. The Caribbean was at the core of the crime against humanity induced by the transatlantic slave trade and slavery.

Detailed explanation-5: -The transatlantic slave trade was the largest forced migration in history, and incontrovertibly one of the most inhumane.
