It was very difficult for slaves traveling Through the middle passage as shown in the text "They
suffered from heat, thirst, and a lack of hygiene. Even the whites had difficulty with these things". this shows that it was nearly impossible to maintain good health with many Enslaved people dieing while traveling through the middle passage. furthermore the travel through the middle passage was panful with people having to suffer from dehydration cramped heavily populated spaces, heat and lack of hygiene.

Many were treated inhumanely if they were enslaved. They would starve and get whipped. "African prisoners most severely cut for attempting to do so, and hourly whipped for not eating. This indeed was often the case with myself."
This account can be different from others because we are seeing it from the perspective of someone who was actually enslaved and not a white person. Which in many cases is something we don't get.

- Must have been very crowded - not a lot of space on the ships and the ships could only carry a maximum capacity of 454 slaves but ended up with 609 slaves on board because the English wanted to transport as many slaves at once and try to get them all transported.
- Slaves were crammed in and didn't have enough room, only allowing 6 feet by 1 foot 4 inches per man and 5 feet 10 inches by 1 foot by 4 inches per woman.

The White people would treat the slaves horribly. They were so brutal towards them. "I feared I should be put to death, the white people looked and acted, as I thought,
in so savage a manner; for I had never seen among any people such instances
of brutal cruelty;"

The slave ship owners went through many different challenges, some of which being the men and negroes growing sick. On their first voyage, they buried 14, on the last voyage, they buried 320.

- slaves were shackled and forced to sit so close to each other, to the point where they could only fit when laying on their sides. they were also given small buckets of food, that they had to share amongst 10 people and had their lips burned with coal on a shovel if they refused to eat.
- this account could be different because it came from the perspective of Alexander Falconbridge, a doctor/surgeon that worked amongst the slaves to help them.
- this source is reliable because it came first hand from someone that was on the ship and saw what happened to slaves and what they had to go through during the time.

this document was authored by the Portuguese which were a large part of the slave trade and therefor there reliability should definitely be questioned as at the end of the second paragraph it is said the white people were also suffering from these things which may have been a attempt to gain sympathy from people reading the textbook or even push off responsibility.
