The slave trade grew due to economic demand for labor in colonies, European exploration, and African involvement in the trade, which created a triangular trade system. This growth resulted in horrific conditions during the Middle Passage, including overcrowding, brutal treatment, and psychological trauma. Such inhumane treatment had long-lasting effects on the individuals involved and societies on both sides of the Atlantic.
