Describe the Middle Passage and its role in American slavery.

The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade.

This British support was a key element of the Dutch Protestants' winning in 1609.

Explanation:

The Netherlands were under the rule of Catholic Spain. The English were interested in the Netherlands because it was a key location for trade.

When the 1572 Dutch Revolt started, seeking liberation from Spain, Queen Elizabeth supported them sending British troops, in a secret strategy to keep Spain busy enough not to endanger England.
