What was the middle passage?

Answer:
The "middle passage' was the voyage that brought enslaved Africans to the West Indies and later to the colonies of North America.

The term Middle Passage refers to the transportation of the African people from Africa to the new world as part of the Atlantic slave trade, as it was the middle portion of the triangular trade voyage, also carrying molasses, timber and raw materials to Europe, and manufactured goods back to Africa.
