it shows that the trip was cramped and horrific and the people who were transporting them surely didn't consider them in anyway human. propane

Answer:

The image shows that enslaved people are treated as commodities, placed on the vessel in order to save space. There is no concern for physical or psychological health, and the transmission of infectious diseases among enslaved crew during the voyage or the development of diseases from confinement and the absence of movement along the crossing is very possible.
