Describe the conditions of the middle passage.

Brief Description:

The "Middle Passage" is about enslaved American Americans that were transported to the "New World."

In bad weather the oppressive heat and noxious fumes in the unventilated and unsanitary holds caused fevers and dysentery, with a high mortality rate. Epidemics were a major cause because of the New World's diseases. People got sick, and didn't have the medicine to treat it, because they don't know what disease it was.

( Sorry if this didn't help, this is all I know about the "Middle Passage." )

The conditions were harsh. Very hot, bad weather, etc.
