What were the effects of the Middle Passage on both slave traders and slaves?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Students should be able to describe the trade relations between Europe, Africa, and the Americas at each leg of the Atlantic Circuit. The Middle Passage was the leg of the voyage bringing slaves from Africa across the Atlantic. Students should be able to discuss the status of slaves largely as prisoners of war and to describe the journey, which took six to ten weeks. They should be able to relate the slave traders' desire to maintain a population that was alive and healthy to the risks of the voyage. They should know that there were twice as many male slaves as female. Finally, they should be able to discuss the individual experiences and hardships of the slaves during this voyage.
