What happened to the enslaved people when they arrived in the Caribbean? Why was this, for some, possibly the worst part of the voyage?

Tobacco, coffee, and livestock were all produced as well using slave labor. Sugar, however, stands out most prominently due to its exorbitant popularity during the time period and the dangers of its production, which claimed the lives of many enslaved people.

Hope this helps!
