What was the middle passage? a. the route slave ships took from west africa to the americas b. the compromise between abolitionist and pro-slavery politicians c. the route through the middle of africa to connect the atlantic and indian oceans d. the route around the southern tip of south america

It is B. The Middle Passage was the phase of the triangular exchange which a huge number of Africans were transported to the New World as a component of the Atlantic slave exchange. Boats withdrew Europe for African markets with made products, which were exchanged for acquired or hijacked Africans, who were transported over the Atlantic as slaves; the slaves were then sold or exchanged for crude materials, which would be transported back to Europe to finish the voyage.
