What Life On a Slave Ship Was Like

- The Atlantic Slave Trade saw millions of Africans removed from their homeland, shipped across an ocean, and forced to work in brutal conditions in the Americas. The trip itself, known as the Middle Passage, was a horrible, deadly, and inhumane experience. The conditions on slave ships were dirty, scary, and offered no amount of comfort to the enslaved passengers.
With little understanding of what was to come and even less hope of ever being free again, captives on slave ships would resort to tears, acts of defiance, and even suicide to try escaping their plight. To this day, we are still uncovering evidence that attests to the horrible realities of slavery - but no amount of scholarship and understanding will change the scarring experiences of slave ship conditions.

I've been educated on this stuff my whole life and still I cannot understand the type of Inhuman barbarism needed to treat others so terribly.
@Scarface Slave traders where all different races and so I don't believe it was because of skin color. It was because of greed. One slave trader raped a pregnant woman and was punished by the crew and was told if anything happened to her, it would be on him. So I do think there where some of them with some humanity in them.
It's unbelievably horrible and sad
@Scarface or you were wrong.
They were a commodity. A factory tool you dont hate that. You love it and buy it if you're that addicted to money.
Now if you are the product
You're naturally going to rebel. Thats a decline in money.
Then there would be random murders and escapes naturally seeking freedom as they were misclassified as an object.
That pissed off slave owners.
In the south the vast majority of slave owners were obviously white individuals
But there were some black edgelords and that might have been a sex thing idk
Im just saying
Anyhow the civil war that the south will say was for the economy. Everyone forgets when hearing that argument slaves drove said economy.
As a person whose family and their families families and everything in the area relied on slavery they became resentful. Blacks being free became less so but it wasnt like they were chill about it. They were focused on being free and shit.
Well out of a job and generations of wealth tired of watching their old tractors doing better while they did worse socioeconomics
Racism... Kkk etc. Black guys respond with black panthers white guys decide to just take the blow and give a nod to neo nazis which brought gangs like bloods and crips which brought cops and the war on crime
That brought blm and now team white guys decided to look like they work at staples wearing jock straps on their heads. Which just happened in Philly.
Some idiots dressed like staples employees with jockstraps on their face with plastic see through buckle shields took their dumb racist behinds to Philadelphia
Also before that out of no where the totally chill ass white dudes decided that theyd join the Blm guys to show theyre not down with racism thus antifa shows up.
People back then thought differently they had a religion and they were mostly crazy, its sad ,no one deserves this not even the worst of us
They didn't think of them as human beings. It's a fucked up kind of dissociation.
The cruel things that men do to other men is unspeakable.

@@kudzaizvikwende9600 they/them
I'm a pretty big history nerd, and even past genocide, I truly believe slavery was probably pretty close to the darkest thing humans have ever done to each other. It's just horrific on an infinite amount of levels. The fact that in the grand scheme of things it wasn't outlawed THAT long ago, is even more frightening.
Once you claim ownership of another human being and they're powerless to do anything about it, they might as well be dead. To me, this is genocide.
I love slave movie I l learn more about myself
I am a black man from the US 🇺🇸 I the slave rated r slave movie black very tough for what went through
@@johnmansfield951 John, true the US participation in slavery was and is a stain on the US. The more horrific thing is that slavery is alive and well in much of the world today, including the focus of this Vlog, Africa.
Killval, the most horrific aspect of slavery is that it is common in many parts of today's world.
Not even allowed to take their own lives to escape the brutality. How can you do this to another human being? Honestly makes me sick.
You?? Not one person here is alive from the antebellum period. Except me the blue eye devil😈😂
Wasn't interested in history when I was in school now I'm old af I can't get enough of it. Specially with cool channels like this.

I can't say much for the lackluster presentations in any history class I was in. Definitely more interesting for a lot of us than in earlier days.

Not everyone that replies had an ancestor that owned a slave or was involved in the slave trade. My family certainly wasn't. They came from England to America in 1840 by way of Canada, then moved on to Vermont as farmers and still are!
@@melvinmuddfuckle4263 Yeah they profited from the genocide of Native americans instead.
@@jamesi1962 But I bet they didn't think the white man would treat them as Chattel slaves. They practice slavery too, but it was indentured, capturing prisoners from warring tribes and turning them to servants is different, ancient cultures have practice this all over throughout history, even the video explains that they didn't practice Chattel slavery in the intro.
@@chuddrick You should study about history before spitting of stuff you don't know about.

I’ve learned about the middle passage several times and every single time I think about the conditions on the ship it really amazes how anyone survived the journey…..The middle passage/slavery makes me understand the phrase death is better than bondage
Yet I am here because of those who somehow managed to survive that horror. I wear a cowrie shell ring every day to remind me of their resilience and sacrifices. Somehow it gives me strength and I thank them every single day, even though I only know the name (not even his real name, of course) of a single African ancestor and his country of origin: Senegal.

That man was a strait up psychopath. Disgusting what he did
Yeah he ranks #1 on the list of absolute mentalists. Good call
One of the most depraved stories of human cruelty I’ve ever heard
He was the forgotten Hitler.
Part of the horror of the Congo free state is that Leopold II signed off on all the brutality, but he never actually saw any of it. To him it was just a spreadsheet he had to sign his name under and wait for the money that filled his coffers. He was far removed from the horrors his lieutenants and their collaborators inflicted on the populous for money. It wasn't even ideologically motivated as with Hitler's genocide. Leopold II just wanted to squeeze as much money as quickly as possible from his personal pet colony. It was disgustingly callous and shows how easy it was to dehumanise.
The ancestors of anyone who survived that trip, made it to America, and through everything that followed Black Americans should keep in mind the sacrifice and brutality it took for them to still be here today. Simply being able to watch this video is a blessing. 🙏🏾

I would love to learn (for lack of a better term) about the enslaved first year in the America's. How they were prepared and sold, how they had to learn english, how they were forced to assimilate, and daily life during that first year of life as a slave. I always found it curious how they learned english and that portion of their lives are never really taught.
They were slaves already. America wasn't there first years as slave
@@huntertomblin1946 that's not true. They were men and women who were captured and held so that they could be brought to the Americas and forced to work as slaves. The concept of slavery in Africa was miles apart from slavery in the Americas. The brutality and savagery of slavers in the Americas does not compare to what enslaved people faced in Africa. Plus the concept that enslaved people are chattel and enslaving their children is unique.
"Breaking" Africans after they were brought to the Americas was a very deliberate process that should be studied.
@@kishav.augustinesq.5089 Yep men and women captured by their own people and sold to be slaves in the America's just like years before being captured by their own and sold to be slaves in the Middle East which was much more brutal.
“The Americas” were both North and South America. Most slaves went to the Caribbean and South America then sold and wound up in North America. Not as many came directly from Africa to what is now USA because of distance and weather. Most were sold to enslavers from other countries. Had to learn English? You have a very broad, inaccurate view of slaves. They weren’t allowed to read or write and leaned broken English through being on the plantation. A select few, chosen by the slave master were given limited education so they could be sold at a higher price. As for the rest of assimilation… it was beaten into the slaves with violence and death. Watch the mini series Roots (original 70s version) to get a glimpse.
@@huntertomblin1946 not their people. did you watch the video? their people were raided and kidnapped by others to be sold

Thank you for covering this topic that people often tiptoe around today. It needs to be discussed, people need to know what happened.
According to the 'Black Almanac', which is a Black source, 95% of those captured West Africans were sold into slavery in Latin America. So my question to the world I guess, why 95% of slavery in the Americas, but 0% of the blame? How can we discuss an issue if we can't even manage to locate it?
Yes they do so it’s not repeated
What I find most shocking is the amount of money that was made from the slave trade/work and the way the world has been structured today to protect the wealthy countries that benefited from it.
There are some school systems in the US that don't teach about any of this. In my school we didn't get as much detail but we were told slaves were treated like items of cargo or like animals, many of them died on the ships, and were regularly beaten and/or raped. I didn't learn that Africa had its own slave trade until college.
The US is just the only country that recognizes its slavery. All the others get a pass because they teach American history in their country lol

There has been so much gaslighting and denial, especially in recent years, about this part of America's history. I really appreciate this video about how some of my ancestors came to these shores. It also makes me want to research any videos about the contribution that slaves made to the economy of this country. Thank you for telling the truth without sugarcoating it and acting as if it wasn't that bad, as has been done by some who, like WWII Holocaust deniers, would rather not know because the truth is just too horrible. But, as that man who refused to eat said, even after being beaten, "So be it."

Any how, is a painful moment to have remember, so to as many as lose their lives just for this journey, may their soul continue to rest in peace, but let today western world see , reason, think deeper, about what their four father's do to african people, any time they see black skin around them, especially those from sauth american and their brothers from part asian continent, we will always forgive but not to forget, because any time I come across this as a history, first I feel so much provoke, but when I remember some of the people from the same western people whom pertispected in making sure that, such treat to humanity like of an animal stop, I do beginning to see ways of forgiven them. but the most painful of it that , our so called african Leaders are still doing the business of slave trade today, killing one and another for their selfish interests, living african continent to Denver of poverty, they do it , with the support of the western wickedness against african continent.

@@katgreer6113I was taught all this when I was in middle school in 2013
As some one who is black and studied this, I just want to clarify something in this video. Africans are not a monolith, Africa is a continent. With that said the statement " Africans selling Africans" does not incompase what was actually happening. There are thousands of tribes in the continent of Africa as well as in individual countries in Africa. So it was more like example Maasai tribe would raid the Yoruba tribe and sell them, the conquered tribe into slavery. People in different tribes were and still are seen as other. But also keep in mind the attacking tribes didn't actually know the magnitude of what they were participating in, because it's not like they got a follow up. So just wanted to make that distinction.
Problem is BLM /Liberals don't like to mention black slave owners. They love to cherry pick to fit their narrative .
Thats not clarification, you just expanded on what he said. I assume he said "africans selling africans " for the sake of brevity. No matter what tribe was capturing and selling what tribe, it still remains africans selling africans.
And you seem to insinuate that they did not know what they were doing when selling thier own people to the white man but that's silly, when you raid another village and force people into chains, right there at that point its obvious their fate is nothing good so no, they are equally as guilty as the white people.
I'm black african, from africa and I know first hand about tribalism and how evil it can get even without the influence of outsiders. There's just no excuse or anyway you can attempt to minimise it.
Also Clairification:the action of making a statement or situation less confused and more comprehensible.
@@robbylebotha I think you misunderstand my statement, I'm not minimizing anything, but it would be foolish to think they knew 100% where these people were going, how they would be treated and how long it would go on. While I don't think they cared to have answers to those questions, if they knew the institution of slavery lasted so long and that it still has a affect on those whose ancestors were enslaved, thier participation might have been limited ( but that's a hypothetical)

What an absolute depressing evil tragedy in human history. I as a Black Australian man of East African Somali descent love the Black American community. I myself have no enslaved and segregated ancestors because they were East African Somali people who were never captured or kidnapped or sold into slavery because they came from a strong empire. I am the proud son of two East African Somali immigrant parents both my father and my mother plus my paternal uncle which they all successfully immigrated to Australia in the mid 1990s escaping the Somali Civil War which devastated the country. My family and I still live there today. I love Australia because it is so peaceful and relaxing here plus I enjoy my life here in this incredible country. If I was a descendant of an amazingly tough enslaved and segregated ancestors who went through so much suffering I would always honour them plus remember them. I would never disgrace or forget what they had to experience the painful torment of racism. My heart goes out to all the oppressed Black people in the past that had go through the African Tribal Warfare, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Chattel Slavery, the Colonial Wars, the Domestic Slave Trade, the American Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan Racial Terror Lynchings, the Race Riots, Convict Leasing, Jim Crow Segregation, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Redlinings, the Inner City Gang Violence, the War On Drugs, Police Brutality, the Racial Bias in the Criminal Justice System, and Private Prison Abuse. In the United States of America today there is still Inner City Gang Violence, Police Brutality, Racial Bias in the Criminal Justice System, and Private Prison Abuse so depressing. America needs a huge criminal justice reform, economic reform, gun control reform, immigration reform, police reform, political reform, and prison reform.

Canadians always act like they don’t have blood on their hands
I'd like to hear about this too. CZcamsr iilluminaughtii made a video about this called How Canada has failed Indigenous people.
It's not hard to find. To understand it you really have to go back to the 1650's when the Jesuits and other Catholic orders arrived in Quebec City to save the souls of indigenous people. There is a great movie called The Black Robe that puts it in historical context. Canada didn't even become a country for another 200 years. And it's naive to think the Catholic Church did this only in Canada, it was done in the entire western hemisphere by mostly Catholic colonizing countries, Spain, France and Portugal for example. The governments were also complicit as was the Church of England or what Americans call Episcopalian. Canada is not trying to deny any of this or sweep it under the carpet. We admit it.

I live in Hull,Uk about 5 mins away from the home of William Wilberforce who was instrumental in the abolishion of slavery and his home is a grim museum of the slave trade and the various horrors ,instruments and day to day life of the slaves and is something most kids in my city was aware of from an early age...That illustration of a slave ships hull showing how they managed to get so many humans in one space was originally from this museum and always stuck with me as a kid.
@torivarnor Difine 'worse' when it comes been a slave..wherever,whoever or whatever time in history been a slave has always sucked...
@torivarnor you do understand that the enslaved in America were often castrated as well? I believe the African and Arab slave trade didn’t target one race of people to enslave, unlike the Europeans.
@@jalenakeem5059 The Arab slave trade was more brutal than the European norm due to an Immensely strict caste system caused by large numbers in population in the arab world. Arabs preferred pearly white slaves above all others, usually for sexual exoticism, and saw dark skinned (not just black, but olive tones like italians) as beasts the darker they were.
Europeans didn't target just africans either. The reason why africans were common slaves in the west is due to the willingness african kingdoms being open to selling a shiton of them
@@RaizanMedia where are you getting all this information from? How can you say that the Arab slave trade was worse than the European slave trade, when the European slave trade also had an strict caste system? I’m sure the supply and demand aspect of the slave trade was quite high due to both Europeans and Africans, but if you look at the consequences of having mostly black slaves in European colonies, you’ll see that black people were always seen as the ones who were to be enslaved.
@@RaizanMedia slavery is brutal period but I think your views may be a bit non historical
i will never seize to be horrified of human history and its unbelievable brutality, thank you for making this video and educating us
This was one of the most horrible things anyone had to go through. Now we can know that this will never happen again.
Whew this was a heavy one. I feel like I need to take a long shower. My god.
I would like a video about the Y2K hysteria, and how everyone thought the world would blow up on new year's eve 1999!
It ended with a whimper rather than a bang. The world went on as before, and everyone forgot about it immediately.
Looking back, I can’t help but laugh.
They will obviously bring it up in their 1999 timeline video.
Thanks for the video
What i find truly shocking is the attitude of today. i am confused as to why white people of today are expected to bear responsibility for this travesty which happened lifetimes ago. Black slavers sold slaves to white slavers so why is todays attitude about white people profiting from Black people. I have been in open arguments over this and been told i should be ashamed because im white and British. I am white and British but not English. My family are half Welsh and half Irish and both sides were severely persecuted by the English in my family history and just as horrific as slavery but that is not about colour so apparently doesn't count. No one is asking Italians to apologise for all the atrocities the romans committed. Imo everyone should learn from this but dont start witch hunts today over things that happened well before any of us were alive and especially dont make issues about colour.
Slavery was one of humanity’s worst
you still play New Vegas?
It’s a shame that it was legal not so long ago. Think about it. There wwii vets still alive today, and there were civil war vets still alive during wwii. Crazy
@@Tylerboyd2001 Captain obvious just learned something.

@@theghost3061 hell yeah I do, NCR for life
When you say African tradition, It is a bit misleading. There were countless kingdoms in Africa, all with different attitudes towards slavery. Some societies tolerated it, others abhorred it.
Some African kingdoms more than "tolerated" it. They enjoyed it as much as Whites, especially since it removed rivals for resources in neighboring territories. I am not defending anyone---only relating the shared interests on both sides of the Atlantic.
@@falgalhutkinsmarzcal3962 Of course! It was integral in many kindoms. What i was getting at was to warn about such a general statement, which tends to happen when talking about Africa. People tend to talk as if its a monolith.
@@falgalhutkinsmarzcal3962 I tend too find this little detail always gets left out in the conversation around the slave TRADE. Africans were as much responsible for the trade as Europeans.
But the Portuguese and others made it big business.
@@nihilityjoey The Point I was making was to define which kingdoms in Africa. Just saying Africans, as you have done, get rid of the intricacies of ancient African society. They were not monolithic.
A video about ancient Hawaii and the overthrow of the islands would be a awesome episode
I’m here from snapchat. No ad’s, thank God✨ love learning about my ancestors history.
Thank you for this important video! 🌍
It's truly disturbing that as a former American student, I learned more about what happened to Africans during slavery in a ten minute CZcams video than I did in 12 years of schooling.
Well said!
What they don't mention is that these are Isrealites from the tribe of Judah!
thank you very much for the video
This was a little harder to watch than most, but one of your more important videos.
I wonder how different the world would be today if we could go back in time and prevent the “triangular trade” from ever occurring?
It would have happen no matter what. Slavery still exists. And because of how humans are it will never stop.
America would have industrialized sooner and there would not have been a civil war.
They’d find something else to bitch at and blame the white man for… trust me
Their own people would have sold them somewhere else.
Slave trade still exist
Make a video about Transylvanian history and culture and Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.
Damn, no “please?”
Great idea!
The war in the comment section would be mad
@@deciboo189 that's every video though. Even cooking videos somehow lol
I agree I can't wait to see the Turks cower in fear
Even here in the United Kingdom, we share in the total shame & horror of the slave trade. It makes me SICK to think that we brought & sold human beings. May we learn well the lesson history lays before us. & Pray it is never forgotten.
You didn't do anything and neither did anyone in your country this happened hundreds of years ago
the fact that their very own people sold them into slavery is so unbelievable, people will do anything for money. and the horrors inflicted on the Holocaust victims is unbelievable and hard to fathom. how can humans do this to other humans
The only thing I find funny about that is when they said sold into slavery I wonder with what? They traded things for slaves? What would be so big that we'd trade our own people for it? Can't be food, clothes etc. What was grand enough to sell a person?
Insanity. Those poor children...
Damn I really hate to hear how they were treated. Shit is sad as hell. All for the money.
There still doing this in Africa. But no one talks about it.
Why. I thought it was funny 😁😁
June Clark good try bud but we’re not gonna get upset at a troll in the comment section lol, have a good one and good luck with the trolling!
@@franksmith8210 I want to talk about it. Where did you hear this?
@Keke considering your talking on here so openly you can not think that's anything similar.
Thank you for sharing; the world needs to know this reality.
History was my favorite subject in school no matter what grade I always did well I even watched the history Channel as a kid. Now that I'm older the 80's really interests me so much that I wish I grew up in the 80's. But the closest I can get to that is watching my favorite show Time-line on my favorite CZcams channel weird history. I binge watch all of the episodes ALL the time and can't wait for new episodes 🤗
Can we get a Weird History about the birth of the internet?
Al Gore isn’t available for interview
@@mattwarrensocal Lol
It started in the military.
Once upon a time the human race played outside. When people talked to eachother they had to decide whether or not to take each others word for what ever they were discussing because they sure as hell weren't going to the library to prove anyone wrong. One day Chuck Norris punched a hole in the space-time continuum, Bill Gates brought some ethernet cables, and Stephen Hawking said, "Holy shit." Al Gore showed up to take credit for it and thus the internet was born. "What should we do with this new found invention?" Asked Chuck Norris, "Porn." Replied Bill Gates. Then they all high fived eachother and started an eternal circle-jerk.
The end
Sources: I was there. Don't believe me? Do you really want to go to a library to prove me wrong? ;)
And now Chris, I hope I answered your question so we can all get back to watching porn.
I already knew this one was going to be heartbreaking.😔

@@gmln9ne There are a few movies that show this in live action. Watch the Amistad and Roots 2016. The Amistad is a movie and Roots 2016 is a tv show, but they both show what the middle passage would've looked like in real life and it's disturbing to say the least.

He asked, “what do I find most shocking?”
Answer: the fact that most American schools never educate us on these things. They skip over their own disgusting histories.
I hate to burst your bubble but every empire that conquered others had brutal ways. History and ancient times had so much astrocities viewing it with modern eyes.
They teach about the terrible conditions on slaves ships. I actually thought the mortality rate was higher than 15%. I learned in Alabama as well, in the deep south.
@@jo5678 Maybe, but we avoid repeating those mistakes through learning about them. We have nothing to fear from the truth.
@@B.K.7 I can’t speak to that particular situation but the problem is people attempting to ban teaching history. Why are people so afraid of the truth? Learning from the past is how we do better as a society. It’s also an attack on the first amendment, but that’s a different subject.
barbary slave trade no classroom will touch the subject
everytime i hear this story, it just gets me how utterly horrific this is.....how someone could do this to another human being is beyond my comprehension.
They were side by side like sardines. They often wore excrement from the people above. Babies were born on ship. Imagine the mess /smell (pee,bm ,vomit/ from seasickness and blood,rotting bodies) and horror!! Rip to all those people.
Love all of your videos but this is great! More people need to know about the horrors of the slave trade
This is a sad episode 😢 A sad but true HISTORY 💯
I am happy to see your truth is working for you
It blows my mind how we humans haven’t managed to wipe each other out completely, what these people went thru, heart wrenching isn’t even the word & this video only covered a fraction of it
If we could go back in history, we would be much more horrified Im sure
Actually if we go back thousands of years there is actually a time where humanity almost ended itself it was a huge battle that could have wipe out the remaining humans
@@restartedv69 white people were definitely there, the white Satanists have tried killing everybody
The Middle Passage was something I was educated on but even more details I heard that just made me question why and how they survived during those days it was happening
Continue this video on to what it was like when they reached land.
Definitely a worth the wait for this video ❤️
Awesome content
My family had discussed once how it was possible for shippers to keep Middle Passage slave transport profitable or even practical. To feed hundreds of people on these vessels over 6-8 weeks adequately, including the crew, you would need 10-20 tons of food--this is also assuming they were ever fed. Unfortunately, few vessels are known to have survived over the years apart from through their schematics and manifest lists. This discussion further inspired me to look into the Middle Passage and its logistics.
They barely had enough of anything. And unfortunately many of the slaves died. They had just enough to keep them alive.
Someone get my whip! There's a slave in the comment section and not picking cotton
