That is correct. The Middle Passage refers to the Transatlantic journey that enslaved Africans were forced to endure during the era of the Atlantic slave trade. It was the second leg of the triangular trade, where African captives were transported from West Africa to the Americas for slave labor on plantations. This brutal voyage occurred from the 16th to the 19th centuries and was marked by extreme cruelty, inhumane conditions, and high mortality rates. Enslaved Africans were tightly packed into ships, often subjected to physical abuse, malnutrition, disease, and overcrowding. The Middle Passage played a significant role in the forced migration of millions of Africans and is considered a tragic chapter of history.
