State three (3) experiences of Africans on slave ships in the Middle Passage.
Answers
Answer:
The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans[1] were forcibly transported to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade. Ships departed Europe for African markets with manufactured goods, which were traded for purchased or kidnapped Africans, who were transported across the Atlantic as slaves; the enslaved Africans were then sold or traded for raw materials,[2] which would be transported back to Europe to complete the voyage. The First Passage was the transportation of captives (slaves) to the African ports, such as Elmina, where they would be loaded onto ships. The Final Passage was the journey from the port of disembarkation, such as Charleston, to the plantation or other destination where they would be put to work. The Middle Passage across the Atlantic joined these two. Voyages on the Middle Passage were large financial undertakings, generally organized by companies or groups of investors rather than individuals.
Explanation:
The "Middle Passage" was considered a time of in-betweenness for those being traded from Africa to America. The close quarters and intentional division of pre-established African communities by the ship crew motivated captive Africans to forge bonds of kinship which then created forced transatlantic communities.[4]
Traders from the Americas and Caribbean received the enslaved Africans. European powers such as Portugal, Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Denmark–Norway, Sweden, Courland and Brandenburg, as well as traders from Brazil and North America, took part in this trade. The enslaved Africans came mostly from the regions: Senegambia, Upper Guinea, Windward Coast, Gold Coast, Bight of Benin, and Bight of Biafra.[5] Between 1525 and 1859, the slave trade from the Bight of Biafra accounted for over two-thirds of slaves exported to the New World.[6] and Dutch Loango-Angola.
An estimated 15% of the Africans died at sea, with mortality rates considerably higher in Africa itself in the process of capturing and transporting indigenous people to the ships.[7] The total number of African deaths directly attributable to the Middle Passage voyage is estimated at up to two million; a broader look at African deaths directly attributable to the institution of slavery from 1500 to 1900 suggests up to four million African deaths.[8]
The first known transatlantic slave ship—sailed from São Tomé to New Spain in 1525, outsourced by Genoese bankers who paid the Spanish court for the Asiento de Negros. Till 1640, Portuguese slavers had a near monopoly on the export of slaves from Africa. In the 2nd half of that century competing Dutch, British and French traders concentrated the trade in slaves on the Caribbean islands Curaçao, Martinique and Barbados from where they would be exported to the mainland. During the 18th century, when the slave trade transported about 6 million Africans, British slavers carried almost 2.5 million
