11. Middle Passage
The Middle Passage was the journey from Africa to the Americas. Ship captains were known as “tight packers” or “loose packers” depending on how many people they were willing to fit on a ship. Most ships held 400, but it was not unusual to have people per ship. People were treated as cargo. The trip would take nearly days. Due to their packed conditions, Africans would have to lie in each others sweat, urine, feces and blood. The heat was unbearable and un-breathable.
Many people would refuse to eat or even commit suicide. The ship’s crew would brutally force the slaves to eat so that they would not die, because if someone died, they could not be sold for profit. The slaves would often be beaten with a device called a cat-o-nine-tails, which would leave horrible wounds on the slaves.
