During the transatlantic slave trade, enslaved Africans endured brutal treatment on ships. They were confined to tight, cramped spaces, unable to even stand up and often chained. Basic needs were met with buckets. Those who died were tossed overboard and became prey for sharks. The inhumane conditions and treatment of slaves during this time were beyond cruel and dehumanizing.
