What was the starting point and what ending of middle passage?

The starting point of the Middle Passage was the coast of West Africa, where European slave traders would capture or purchase African men, women, and children and transport them to the Americas. The ending point of the Middle Passage was the Caribbean islands or the mainland Americas, where the enslaved Africans would be sold to plantation owners or other buyers.

The Middle Passage was a horrendous journey for the enslaved Africans who were packed into tightly packed ships, often with little food or water, and subjected to terrible conditions that led to high mortality rates.
