Middle passage
| Глоссарий по истории гражданской войны в США (английский) |
- The middle leg of the triangular trade route—the voyage from africa to the americas—that brought captured africans into slavery.
- This was the longest, toughest, and most horrific segment of the triangular trade. 199 middle africans, purchased from local chiefs and warlords, were literally packed like sardines (see spooning) into the holds of specially-designed slave ships, chained together (usually in pairs), only occasionally (if ever) allowed a turn around the decks, and fed barely enough food to sustain life. the passage lasted between five weeks and five months, and every day the stench of fear, unwashed bodies, and human excrement got worse. malnutrition, scurvy, dysentery, and infectious diseases, along with severe depression took a terrible toll. nevertheless, there were enough survivors to make the slave trade immensely profitable.
