Slavery exited in Africa since ages

@@ericrowe1412 Still, its still really sad to think that how brutal times were back then in the past

We weren't meant to be put on this earth to mistreat our fellow man, despite the difference in race.

Slavery has existed for as long as humans have existed. The African slave trade isn’t even the largest, or the longest form of slavery. Why is this 300 year window of time so much worse than any other slavery throughout history?

Agree 💯

@Jim Curram And how does that "tidbit" lessen the utter horror and criminality of what was done?

The slave trade can only be argued as an economic issue not as a moral issue. My family owned slaves on our plantation and I have no problem with it. They were fed and sheltered and lived a better life in Tennessee than they would have in Africa. In addition to this, when we talk about Slavery today, the negros in this country US should be thankful that slavery existed, otherwise they would still be stuck in Africa. Instead they get to enjoy all the US offers them.

@@alexindia8915 so, as long as we give you shelter and food, treating like a dog, its ok to take away your freedom ? Fuck off man.

There was nothing very unusual about what the Africans were doing. Slavery was a traditional fate for the conquered in Rome, Greece, India, Egypt, China, Persia, Scandinavia, and among the Native Americans. What was unusual was the practice of the Christians and Muslims, who often made war on people of their own faith, but usually honored the religious prohibition on taking them as slaves. Greed motivates wars everywhere, among sub-Saharan Africans as much as anywhere else. But the Europeans were not just passive beneficiaries of the African internal slave trade. The European slave ships massively increased the demand for slaves, and thus their price. Warfare and enslavement in West Africa boomed to many times their previous levels once the English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French started paying top dollar to buy millions of people to ship across the Atlantic. Furthermore, by selling guns and powder to the local African rulers in return for slaves, the Europeans made the slavers more powerful. Many African kings felt they had little choice but to trade slaves for guns, because if they didn't, they would inevitably be conquered and enslaved by neighbors who did trade slaves for guns. There was at least one Congolese ruler who refused to trade slaves with Portugal, only to be overthrown by his own vassals whom the Portuguese paid off; the vassals then resumed the slave trade. (It wasn't the Europeans alone who fueled this increase in the slave trade; Arabs and Berbers from North Africa were also buying lots of slaves. Although my earlier reading said that the Arabs' role was much smaller than the Europeans', some of the newer figures I've seen suggest it may have been larger, so I'm not sure what to say about it at the moment). Before the Europeans, West African slavery existed but was a fairly small-scale problem; after the arrival of the Europeans, and at least partly because of them, the Atlantic slave trade exploded into a catastrophe unequaled in history.

@@westindianjames7758 no it isnt

Bill Keitel They were also killing the slaves and replacing them, much like Brazil.

Or it's completely false.

@@bobreilly4996 - or, you're a dumb bitch.

They worked them til they died

It’s not that, the islands in the Caribbean were used as a receiving center, where the Africans were sorted between healthy and unhealthy from the trip. Also that’s where most of the buying/selling/trading occurred before they were brought to the US.

*millions of lives brutally stolen.

*given by more dominant tribes. Let’s not brush over that fact

@Nogent Thinking that time is a relevant topic for kidnapping, killing, and catastrophe doesnt make a difference. It's trying to cover up history. People talk about G. Washington, Greek & Romans, Egyptian, Christ, all kinds of history that happened more than 200-500 years so why is talking about the slave trade any different or problem?

@Nogent The Hate, Bigotry, Racism & Views _(supremacy)_ that started it all still Exists...passed down Generations. *The Effects of the Slave Trade is Not Ancient History.* What followed was still Brutal: The Jim Crow Era, Slave-era Lynchings continued, KKK Terrorism, Brutality, Segregation, Civil Rights Era ...etc. The Act of Slavery might've been over but the Racism, Superiority, Bigotry in people's hearts is still there. This is why it's important to NOT hide History so people can see what hatred can bring. We must continue to do good and treat others with kindness.

​@Nogent I wrote a long response to your comment and decided to delete it. I thought to myself that it would be a waste of time explaining. And by the way, US citizens don't think slavery was invented in the US. Not sure where you got that one from. We only talk about it a lot because as Black Americans were still dealing with the after effect of it and the segregation era. More so the segregation era.

Sheesh 😳

@kimi its kinda hard to disagree Afro-Americans (only) builded billion dollar "culture" by taking many things that white people created for example dreads were first recorded in Greece

@Sean McFarland not even close european/Arab genocide in Africa

I agree, which makes me wonder why we are allowing civil war statues to be torn down.

The Caribbean was used as a receiving area for assessing the ‘quality’ of the Africans for buying/selling/trading them, many of which ended up in the US. What a terrible life for all those souls for centuries. 😕

Go be fascinated elsewhere

@steggy un fossilized the number of Africans brought to the US was still very small compared to Latin America and the Caribbean region.

@@slantdwave what?

@@pollyseip Thats not true. Some Africans were brought to the US from the Caribbean but it wasn't like you implied

And the Moors who had conquered and controlled Europe for 700 years had already deemed Amaraca (America) AMEXEM northwest africa. So America was considered north west africa by moors. When they say we were taken from the coast of west Africa its truly the west atlantic coast. Basically indigenous ppl were shuffled between north central and south America. Also this is the reason Morocco recognized the Americas independence before any other country and has always been in alliance.

Los descendientes de los esclavos se pueden encontrar en todos los piases caribeños, en las Antillas, en América del Norte y en América Central. También en Brasil. Los esclavos eran Nigerianos, Camerunés, Gabonés, Congoleños, Togolés, Beninés, Ghanés, Ivorianos, Senegalés, Gambianos, Liberianos, Angolanos. Las islas caribeñas fueron utilizadas para clasificar los esclavos y para enviarlos en los Estados Unidos y en otros países. Los barcos de los esclavos desembarcan también directamente en las costas estadounidenses (North Carolina, South Carolina,etc).

Doesn't matter who had the fault. We just try to never repeat this

@@tomassmith1519 It very much matters who has the fault. Especially when all the major focus about slavery is pointed at America. Our part is a drop in the bucket compared to many other places yet we take the vast majority of the blame. Slavery has been part of human existence forever, yet the majority focus is the last 400 years and how horrible American is for having it. Slavery has been gone in America for over 150 years yet it’s spoken about as if everyone alive today has some responsibility for it and others are victims of it. So yes it matters, especially when people still point fingers but are not truly educated about the real numbers and reality of ALL slavery. Not just this small convoluted, misrepresented, exaggerated window that everyone looks through most of the time!

@@702marine allrigth, I understand that

Lol what’s so bad about African Americans existing?

Probably includes you.

How about we make you one, so you can see how it feels?

@Nogent you seem to take every oppurtunity to crticize American slavery. For the record the word "Slave" doesn't necessarily come from "Slav" there are debates that it actually came from the French "escalve"... Regardless we all are aware that American slavery is the only slavery.

@Nogent the end about the Esclave and Slav is actually being debated.

@Nogent when did I say American slavery was the only slavery? I’m sure you’re taking that way out of context. This video is about slavery in the Americas.

In the United States it ended in 1861 at the start of the Civil War slavery ended in the U.S. We are the only country to fight a war, lose 600,000 lives to end slavery.

I don't know about the United States but in Brazil it continued until 1888(Slavery) ! I watched a short documentary on Utube about slaves being smuggled in 1965 I believe in the U.S. !! I bet smugglers managed to import more slaves into Brazil too !!!

A lot of slaves were sent to other places in the new world including the U.S, Central America, and the northern part of South America after they were shipped to the Carribean

@@slimthickgoddess8866 Ok thanks for the answer have a great day.👍

Yes Central America too but not as much although some enslaved Africans from the Caribbean would later be sent to central America

the graph doesn't claim to show every single slave ship. Just the ones in its data base

Ur ancestors got sold as slaves by other Africans buddy. Slave trade was established and extremely savage before the Spanish and British came, to find a whole slave ecosystem set ip

Yes - and also , the UK seems to be not involved in this animation , which we all know to be untrue - we were heavily involved .

Actually those are correct numbers. Initially slave traders were from Portugal and Spain. Hence, Brazil. Most slave traders used slaves for the sugar trade. Not the cotton trade. Sugar, molasses and rum had higher profit than cotton. In the London Museum Dockland branch it has a large board of slave/cargo vessels, owners and destinations. Large percentage went to the Caribbean and South America not North America. The ships would dock in London, register what they have on board the vessels. The warehouse was massive about a 1/3 of a mile. A large section of the dock/warehouse was damaged in the war a part still remains. My great grandfather used to be on the oil tankers that went to Brazil/US he died at sea and threw his body over board. Even after slavery black bodies were discarded. Also, remember that counties that started the slave trade still have their Portuguese names, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Mozambique, Barbados.

Elisabeth Johnson Teah-Wilson - I hope your great grandfather rests in peace - shockingly disrespectful treatment . My father told me , his father was a ships captain . As a young deck hand , he had witnessed an at sea burial , and said as the ship sailed away , it seemed like the body , rising with each wave , was trying to have a last glimpse of his friends . He swore then that , if he became a captain , he would carry a coffin , so it could be weighted properly . Thank you for your reply - best wishes from London . 🐬

Most slaves went to the Caribbean and south/Central America. The trip to the US was too far. Slaves in the US life expectancy was longer so we breeded a lot. Unlike in other places we didn’t mix as much post slavery.

You are completely wrong. Each and every single ship is completely documented. This is 100% accurate. The problem is America has taken the large brunt of the blame for the slave trade yet we were actually one of the smallest recipients of the trades. The first slave trading was actually started by black people in Guyana with traders from Portugal as payment for goods. That’s where it all started just look up the “Guilt of Guyana”. American should pay its pennants for our role and I believe we have. Probably more than our share. The blame should be spread loaded more appropriately just like this demographic illustrates. The African slave trade lasted around 400 years. Slavery, almost exclusively non-black slavery, has been part of the worlds society for literally thousands and thousands of years! Yet we only talk about black slavery covering the last 400 years. If someone wants to talk about slavery, then have a REAL talk about ALL slavery. Not just the boiled down, tail end, smallest timeframe of the history.
