In this episode, Zeinab Badawi visits Ghana and sees how momentum in the trans Atlantic slave trade led to competition for enslaved Africans between European nations who built numerous slave forts along West Africa’s Atlantic coast. She hears about the inhumane conditions in which slaves awaiting shipment were kept and how women were selected and subjected to rape by their captors. Also what do African academics believe were the main reasons behind abolition and why did many Africans return to the continent such as to Liberia? And how were they received by local communities?

Read about the Curse of Ham(Noah Sons) me being a Christian, justified all of Islam and Christianity, Jew, to allow slavery, BBC just telling a fairytale with this Episode not the cause(touchy subject). Great monetary incentives for Islam, Christianity and Jew, heck even the Mormons prevent black people becoming priest due to the Curse of Ham to this day. Lol Then Italy tried to conquer Ethiopia in 1934-38, guess to became friends, thwarted thank God I think???? Haratins were the last slaves in 1981-2007 in Mauritania, in 2008 Oil found irony. Read about the Black/Arabs Moors

What do you mean? You literally had African countries that were involved in slave trading. It was going on for centuries. Current day Benin, Nigeria and other neighboring countries. They would go and hunt small tribes for livestock butchering their leaders and taking the prisoners as slaves which they then traded for goods. Just look up the shit that went on with the Dahomey tribe.

Eventually he met his sister who was also captured by a different master. He met his sister when his master happen to meet up with his sister's master. He said in his words "we were even denied the privilege of crying together". I read that book back in Pope John senior high

I just watched this video, and I have noticed that my life is no longer the same. An unspeakable inner pain reigns in me that are only increasing within my soul. I understand now how my ancestors went through so much hardship and inhuman treatment that I lack words to describe the suffering and shame they had experienced. Between deceit, sabotage, rivalry and tribal wars, many fell into the traps of slavery. How many had not died and thrown into the sea? How many indeed were subjugated placed to mistreatment? The day of reckoning must come to help us clarify everything.

Slavery has existed since time began. All peoples have been subjected to slavery. Arab slavers existed 100's of years before America was discovered by Europeans. Black people should look at slavery from a world perspective instead of pretending it only happened to them. The British and the Americans were primarily responsible foe ending slavery in western countries and fighting to end it around the world. Hundreds of thousands of white people died to end slavery!!!

You did not see the African side, you saw the BBC side. There are actual African historians that were born, raised and teach in Africa that have their lessons on KZfaq. And all of them are gracious to Europe and America because they stopped their slavery and then used their might to end it all over the world including finally bringing an end to the ISLAMIC Africa slave trade which was started in the 7th century and went into the 1900s...yeah, 1900s. Islam not only has never apologized for it, they pretend it never happened and are even working to bring it back. They managed to do it in Libya, where they RIGHT NOW capture those fleeing the Sub-Sarah and sell them into slavery. You can see videos of it on KZfaq. Anyway. they also teach how White Europeans were also taken into slavery by Islam and the Berbers and that more of them were taken in the over 700 year period of it happening than African slaves were taken by Europe. Which is true.

My great great great grandfather and his brothers were fleeing from being caught by slaves traders. They were 3 brothers . Their family name was Capo or Kakpo. They decided that they would go separate ways to have more chances to be alive and they also changed names. My great kept the name Capo and his brothers were Gnanwi and Quenum. We have been told that they haven’t been captured. Quenum, Kakpo and Gnanwi are names that are found in Benin, that’s how we know that they made it. I still don’t know how my grandpa speaks fluent Portuguese and he was mixed as well.

Thank you Zeinab and your crew for this series of documentaries...There was a major point you let out or omit in your work; the role played by the Catholic Church as an enticing element and the power behind the slaves owners, fooling them with their enchantements as God was ok with the slavary business as long as they send their offrands to the pope. The Catholic Church played a major role in removing guilt in the heart of the slaves owners by their misquoting of the Bible.

They didnt need to do any of that because the slave owners existed BEFORE the church came in. Islam was there buying slaves from the 7th to 19th centuries and helped to bring it back a decade ago. You can go watch Muslims selling sub-Saharans into slavery right here on KZfaq. Go watch something from an actual African historian and listen how they teach history IN Africa. They are angry at Islam for doing it, for never apologizing or even admitting it happened and are grateful to Europe and America for not only apologizing but for actually HELPING Africa a great deal in the last 40 years and for also helping to end slavery there. The BBC, is pure propaganda trash.

I never realized what an effect it had on Africa as a nation much less all of the pain and sorrow that my brothers and sisters went through. I do know that our creator has already planned out the punishment for the negative spirit which was in all of the people who enjoyed hurting others. I came from a family where some of them enjoyed inflicting pain on our own family. Love all of you and thank you again! HalleluYah

Its propaganda trash. the Islamic slave trade in Africa started in the 7th century and went all the way until Europe ended it there in the 1900s...at least until 10 years ago when Islam helped it return in Libya. Yeah, there is slavery once again in Africa. They catch those fleeing the sub-Sahara and sell them, videos of it are on KZfaq. Slavery itself is recorded through-out African history. Slavery is in humanities oldest writings. The idea this only happened because of some idea that they were inferior is a lie pushed by race peddlers.

@@listenup2882 More of 50 millions made the journey to the Muslim countries to the east during a 1700 year time span of the sub-Saharan slave trade. It is also called "The Hidden Genocide". Why Genocide? Because all men were castrated, and out of every 5, only 1 survived! They did it to make sure that they couldn't reproduce with their wives, and there was plenty of supply of slaves to replace everyone who was killed! By the way, the slave trade in Morocco, which was the last country in the world to forbid the slave trade, ended only in 1988, by imposition of the European Union, so that it could be a privileged commercial partner! The Mkenez Palace in Marrakesh has a slave market that operated for 700 years and has the capacity to hold 150,000 slaves for trade at all times.

He was subsequently captured by members of the Mandinka and sold into slavery himself. The reason he was recognized as a nobleman was because HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SOLD ENSLAVED AFRICANS TO THE WHITE MAN WHO THEN CAME TO OWN HIM.
