4. Sanitation • Slaves went to the bathroom wherever they were because they couldn’t reach one of the few buckets without trampling the neighboring slaves.

5. Suicide • Transporting slaves resulted in slaves killing themselves in the following ways including: • Jumping overboard • Other slaves strangling them • Starving themselves

6. Food • They were fed horrible food twice a day. • They drank more water than a normal human would because it was hot and humid under the deck which made them have to use the bathroom a lot.

7. Transportation ofDiseases

8. Diseases aboard Ships • The flux, smallpox, and scurvy were the most common diseases spread on the ships. • To keep the slaves from getting scurvy they were constantly whipped while in their shackles which left them with open flesh wounds.
