The document summarizes the triangular slave trade route known as the Middle Passage. It describes the three steps: 1) Europeans traded goods with African leaders in exchange for captives. 2) The Middle Passage was the transportation of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic to the Americas and West Indies in terrible conditions, packed below deck in chains. 3) European traders returned home with goods like sugar, cotton and tobacco produced by slaves. The Middle Passage journey resulted in much suffering and death for the enslaved Africans.
