The conditions on the slave ships were not good at all they barely had any space to move or to sleep the slaves were directly beside and above and below each other it was very hard for them.

The ships that carried slaves were very large so that they could fit a lot of slaves and transport more slaves faster but it was very compact.

The sailors and soldiers were on the top deck and the slaves were in the bottom of the ship and the slaves were squished together and compact to make room for other slaves
