Question

The ________________________ was the crowded and brutal part of the trans-Atlantic triangular trade that sent Africans from Africa to the New World to enter into the slave trade. 1/5 died on the voyage.

Answer 1

Middle Passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Atlantic slave trade was known for bringing slaves and other goods to different parts of the world, along with its abuse and brutality.

There were different parts to the Atlantic slave trade, bringing different goods to different places, like Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The Middle Passage would bring slaves from Africa to the Americas.

Slaves that were on the Middle Passage were treated horribly. They lived in very poor and crowded conditions, it was not sanitary at all which often made diseases spread among the slaves and many of them died from just that alone. The sailors on the ships would not see the slaves as people and treated them poorly as well, often beating them if they did not obey orders.

In the end, 1/5 of the slaves that were on the Middle Passage died. Either from starvation, dehydration, disease, brutality, or other factors.
