The Triangular trade.

This week I learned about the Middle passage.The middle passage also known as the Triangular trade is the journey that the enslaved Africans endured after they were kidnapped from their native land.
A large percentage of Africans could not survive the brutal environment and pestilence found on the slave ships.Many chose to jump overboard, preferring death to living a life in shackles.This only fueled the slave masters greed and inhumanity.
Soon after the rebellion of the Africans, slavemasters purchased insurance policies and tossed Africans overboard into the Atlantic ocean.This practice of sacrificing human lives became common in the journey from Africa to the Americas However this was only the beginning of the African Holocaust.
