The worst part of the triangular trade was the Middle Passage, the stage of the trade in which enslaved Africans were transported from Africa to the Americas. The Middle Passage was a horrific journey that resulted in the death of millions of Africans. The enslaved Africans were packed into overcrowded and unsanitary ships, where they were subjected to malnutrition, disease, and brutality. Many Africans were also thrown overboard or died of starvation. The Middle Passage was a dehumanizing experience that left a lasting legacy of trauma and suffering.
