The transatlantic crossing was known as the "Middle Passage."
More context: the Middle Passage was the brutal sea voyage that forcibly transported enslaved Africans to the Americas as part of the larger Transatlantic (or Atlantic) slave trade and the triangular trade system. It took place roughly from the 16th through the 19th centuries, carried millions of people (estimates around 10–12 million), and was marked by inhumane, overcrowded conditions, disease, violence, and a very high death rate.
If you want, I can provide more detail on routes, conditions, destinations (Caribbean, Brazil, North America), or first-hand accounts.
