Answer 1

Option: A) the transport of slaves across the Atlantic to the Americas

Step-by-step explanation:

The Middle Passage was a stage of the Triangular Trade which connected three continents. Europe took its manufactured goods and material to Africa in exchange for African slaves from local African leaders. The enslaved African came in America as labors to work in fields and as domestic servants. The Slaves after reaching America sold to their buyer in exchange for raw materials.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. In the Triangular slave trade, the Middle Passage was the transport of slaves across the Atlantic to the Americas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Middle Passage was the part of the Triangular Trade Route across the Atlantic, which brought Africans to the slave markets in North America, South America, and the Caribbean.

The Middle Passage was so called because from Europe it was the middle part of the Triangle trade between Western Europe, Africa and America; ships sailed from Europe with goods to the African market, where the goods were sold or exchanged for slaves. The slaves sailed to America and the Caribbean, where they were exchanged at slave markets for goods that could be sold on the European market, after which they returned to Europe.
