The Middle Passage is the term used for the horrific journey of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas from the 16th to the 19th centuries. This journey was part of the transatlantic slave trade, known for its brutality and high mortality rates. It symbolizes the immense suffering experienced by those forcibly taken from their homelands for labor in the New World.
