How did hunger strikes by enslaved Africans affect slaveholders during the Middle Passage?

-Slaveholders knew that an enslaved person weakened by hunger could be sold for less money.
-Slaveholders knew that an enslaved person who did not eat would be too tired to perform duties on the ship
-Slaveholders worried that an enslaved person who did not eat would not cooperate.

-Slaveholders worried that an enslaved person who did not eat would try to take control of the ship
