In what year did the Middle Passage occur?

There is no specific year for when the Middle Passage occurred, as it was an ongoing process that lasted for several centuries. The Middle Passage refers to the second leg of the transatlantic slave trade, in which enslaved people were transported from Africa to the Americas. It is estimated that between 10 and 20 million Africans were forcibly transported during the Middle Passage, which began in the 16th century and continued into the 19th century.
