About this document
The Harrowing Journey of the Middle Passage by Miguel Hernandez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Middle Passage involved transporting slaves from Africa to America as part of the Triangular Trade. Slaves were mistreated and tortured during the horrific journey, where overcrowded and unsanitary conditions led to 15% of slaves dying before reaching America. Communication was difficult as slaves came from different African tribes and did not know their destination, suffering throughout the transatlantic trip and into their lives in America under the slave codes.
