The Transatlantic Slave Trade: Crash Course Black American History #1

Рет қаралды 910,735

Күн бұрын

Today we're learning about the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which brought millions of captive Africans to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries, with the largest number of people trafficked between 1700 and 1808. We'll look at the ships and crews that brought enslaved people across the ocean via what was known as the Middle Passage and explore the horrific conditions that these captives endured.

"Human beings," "enslaved Africans," and "African captives" instead of slaves. Language is so important and I appreciate the recognition of our ancestors' humanity.

I have yet to finish the video, but I am grateful that the seriousness of this topic was reflected in the tone of the video. I hope that as this series continue, there will be moments of hopefulness and happiness that can also be reflected in the tone of the video. Thank you again, for not making light of a truly horric period in human history.

This video is fantastic and I am so glad Crash Course is revisiting this topic with more seriousness than their previous attempt. I wish there was more information in the video about the societies enslaved people were taken from. Who were they before they were enslaved? What culture did they have? What languages did they speak? I feel like it would humanize enslaved people more in these stories to know who loved them, who reared them, and who lost them when they were taken or sold away.

This is a pretty uncomfortable topic, like all things heavy, but one that should absolutely be acknowledged for what it was... interesting that the percentage was 5% that ended up in North America in the end. That travel seemed like an absolute hellscape to go through. Also while I am definitely bummed out now, this was a very educational presentation, thank you.

I've felt that I never fully understood the horrors that Black people have lived through. I aspire to be an activist for people whose voices haven't been heard. I want to understand what I can do, if anything, to understand and advocate for others. Please, if you have any sort of privilege, don't abuse it. Use it to help others and make our society better.
