Way to many people crammed into barely livable conditions for many weeks on a rocky boat. Disease would spread quickly because of poor sanitation. And as people got sick the sanitation would get worse. It really sucked. And if you survived this you then be sold off into slavery in North America

Step-by-step explanation:

The Middle Passage was pretty much torture to enslaved Africans. They where crammed into the smallest part of the ship shackled together. Many got sick from diseases that then spread to everyone else. Some Africans even took their own lives to seek freedom and peace from the voyage
