About this document
The Horrors of the African Slave Trade by Francina Knights is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the African slave trade, specifically focusing on the Middle Passage experience of enslaved Africans. It describes how slave ships, known as "portable prisons", had horrific living conditions, forcing hundreds of slaves to live in cramped spaces where they slept, defecated, and urinated. The Middle Passage journey to the Americas subjected enslaved Africans to dehumanizing treatment as they were transported by European, Arab, and African slavers for profit.
