Atlantic Slave Trade Map

Slave Trade Triangle Map

First Passage: The voyage from Europe to Africa becomes known as the first passage. The cargo carried are guns and other weapons.

Middle Passage:The second stage of the transatlantic slave trade was also called the middle passage. The Middle Passage was a horrifying experience for slaves headed to the Americas. Slaves were quartered on ships for up to two months and treated as cargo.

Third Passage: Commercial goods from Europe were shipped to Africa for sale and traded for enslaved Africans. Africans were in turn brought to the regions depicted in blue, in what became known as the middle passage. African slaves were then traded for raw materials, which were returned to Europe to complete the triangular trade.
