Answer:

They experienced a dreadful journey. The slaves were tightly packed into ships. There was not much fresh air to breathe and the stench was horrible. There was almost no room to move and many of the slaves wished for death. Illness was common and the white men would flog the slaves. Some were force fed and if they didn’t agree with eating, they would get whipped and cut. The African slaves had horrible experiences while crossing The Middle Passage.
