I'm half Slavic on my mothers side. The Slavic people did not become slaves because people hated them. They become slaves because they were vulnerable. The terrain in the Slavic countries made it very difficult for them to become organized en masse and protect themselves with a formalized standing army. They were enslaved for the same reasons that some African tribes were enslaved by other African kings; vulnerability. Race had nothing to do with it. . .
You're right sort of. Terrain doesnt really have that much impact on that slavs and tatars were enslaving eachother because they lived next to each other same goes slavs adn germanic tribes or avars or magyars later look slavs were enslaving other slavs we would call it PoW now i guess.
the slavs were enslaved because of rome. no other reason. even if they'd been able to organize themselves, they'd have been no match for the roman legions. rome didn't give the first fuck what color a slave was, and rome needed a lot of slaves. rome got its slaves from everywhere it went that wasn't rome. my people in germania were slaves to rome. so were the angles and saxons. north africans, central africans... all enslaved by rome. the only thing that kept rome from enslaving asia was the himalayas.
@@TheRedStateBlue but stil it was against civlisation as we know wit
Which is why Russia is so huuuuge as it is today.
@@victorsamsung2921Also ruzzia is huge because for two centuries after being brutally raped by mongols it started to grab territory like a cocaine addict because it needed some geographical border and infinite manpower to sustain itself. It is still true to this day btw and the real borders of "russia" are pretty much just outside of moscow, the rest is occupied territory that never had any chance to develop and is not even settled by slavic people with the exception of cities alongside the transsiberian railway. If anything there's only a pseudo-european part of russia from peterburg to rostov on don that disallows actually slavic belarus from existing because it is by nature expansionist with mongol mentality.
Regarding the selling of black slaves by black people, it is important to consider that one of the main misconceptions is that "black Africans" were a thing... Sub-Saharan Africa was a melting pot of hundreds, if not thousands, of different tribes, often at war with each other. They didn't have a common " black" identity. They identified as a member of their particular tribe and the rest where the others. To be conquered, or feared, or avoided... Or enslaved.
Identifying only by skin color is a very American mindset. Most other countries put more importance on origins, culture, and ethnicity.
@@petera618 yes it is, more specifically its a quality of certain groups in america, most of us dont consider skin color, we dont even think about race till one of the racists brings it up. its sad, i try to explain to people racism didnt create slavery, slavery created racism and only in the us cause by the end of the trade it was mostly blacks cause africa sold them the cheapest. and the nation considered them weak, cause slavery was about the strong dominating the weak, so the idea at the time was if they were slaves then by default they are lesser cause of their natural weakness and pow racism was born...
Honestly the tribalism is still the biggest barrier to African development to this day. With voters supporting their groups candidates and attacking and suppressing voters from other tribes. When elected these politicians funnel money jobs and power to their tribes. Until people are loyal to their country before their tribe it will not change. This isn't just a criticism of Africa we in the west are beginning to sink into the same mindset with republicans and democrats in America and the constant divisiveness of European politics. The globalists are constantly undermining national identity and unity because they see these values as old fashioned and detrimental but they don't seem to care that the alternative is chaos and often wide spread violence.
The same applies to Native Americans. They were tribal and yes they did enslave captives from tribal wars.
Thank you! This idea that the peoples of Africa were a united entity rather than thousands of tribes with their own ethnic and cultural identities is a delusional idea seemingly born from an understandable desire to connect with an ancestral heritage that has been lost to time.
700 thousand slaves in modern Africa is clearly an underestimate. In fact, there are between 20 and 30 million slaves in Africa today.
Even that’s a low estimate . There’s about 1.5 billion people there, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more than 30 m
And that's not including Asia and the Middle East...
slavery in modern times is entirely a function of non-white / non-western societies.
She did say of hard evidence that she could find.
What does that have to do with American History, because this is an American History course..
A lot of them are in the Middle East because the Middle East sells the most slaves the place where they sell the slaves Libya
I was born in 1964 and we were taught these facts in junior high history class.
Born in '73 educated in Baltimore City public schools, this was known facts and common sense. A crew of 400 sailing from Europe lands on a alien shore decide to just runs down a few thousand black slaves on their own land? That didn't happen.

You caught the tail end of our once amazing education system as I did also.
Actually, the 1833 Slavery abolition act in Britain, was about outlawing slavery in britains colonies over seas (Indians had slaves, Africans had slavers, Pacific Islanders had slaves). But England outlawed slavery in 1102.
> England outlawed slavery in 1102
I genuinely believe that is what drove the abolitionist sentiment.
Our own people didn't really know about living as a slave, because we hadn't for centuries. Then the Trans-Atalantic slave trade becomes common place, and known about. And lots of our ancestors started putting two and two together "if you can own him/her, then it's not very much of a leap for me to believe you might decide to own me, and I won't be a slave, so why should he/she be"
"all men are created equal" was penned by a student and follower of the enlightment, whom at that time already believed that slavery should be an abolition, and justly wanted to rebuke the english king for bringing it to the colonies. jefferson and the united states congress banned the importation of slaves in 1807, but could not figure out how to deal with slaves that were already here. because slaves were properly they were tied to estates with significant value and leins. southern plantation owners were afraid of the economic consequences. one prominent southern congressman decried emancipation but freed his manservant upon his death.
@@davetdowell I'm pretty sure the fact that enslavers in the Americas were sleeping with enslaved women and maintaining their own children in an enslaved status and or selling them in slave markets of the Americas, had something to do with it as well. It was quite a rampant practice during those times.
Black slave owners did the same. IT's all documented. Yes there were black slave owners. The first black governor of Louisiana was a wealthy black slave owner if my memory is correct.
@@MrBottlecapBill Are you referring to the multiracial 24th governor of Louisiana PBS Pinchback, who was obviously European descended? Your memory isn't serving you correctly as he did not enslave people.
You have also mistaken, or are willfully disregarding how legislation affected enslavement practices for non citizens and subjects of pre-1865 US. Under the exact discriminatory laws you just one dropped Pinchback with, it wasn't even slightly "the same."
No, you weren't sold. Your ancestors were sold
I suggest watching Thomas Sowell's videos on the topic or on any topic for that matter
one of the reasons why how many white people like Thomas Sowell is because he is obedient he is not threatening, and he makes white people feel very very comfortable
i think Candace is cribbing a lot of notes from him.
for realz his teachings should be taught in every school
Agreed
“The Black Redneck and the White Liberal” written by Mr. Sowell. Explains in great detail about slavery and much more. It’s in audio form. on CZcams.
African kings didn’t just participate, they actively PROMOTED the slave trade. Their sales pitch? “Well, if you don’t buy my slaves, someone else will, and they’ll put you out of business,” basically. They could simply point to the richest man in the world in the early 1300s, Mansa Musa of Mali, as an example. His salt and gold operations were run off the backs of countless thousands of slaves.
sadly they did this all to impress the pope (king of Congo) then had to write a letter to the pope to ask the Portuguese to stop when they started taking his citizens.
And what does that have to do with laws in the Americas?
@@limonesycafe8898 nothing it just feels better when we can push a little off.
One of the many things that already forgotten movie 'The Woman King' gets wrong is that the French were there to tell them to stop kidnapping people for slave trade. But I guess that doesn't sell.
@@Fuzz82 No. King Ghezo wasn’t alive when France went to war with Dahomey and other African Kingdoms.
The French went to the war with Dahomey over territorial disputes and The Woman King takes place before the British pressured them to stop enslaving and selling people. You know what the movie did leave out? Europeans actively participating in the enslavement of people in Africa.
it's hard to invade a continent when your entire regiment immediately catches malaria
An exception were the "Kroomen" of coastal Liberia (and later Sierra Leone) black African fishermen who helped crew the British Royal navy anti slavery patrols fighting as sailors, marines, gunners etc with their own commanders. It would be nice if the film makers would give them a shout, inconvenient as their heroism might be for modern woke narratives.
Fascinating.
They are called "Kru". Their name is also the reason for English creating the term "crew".
@@matthiasbehrendt6112 Both and one or two other names I have seen come up according to context unless we get into woke....
A much more worthy subject for a film that the Woman King...
Amazingly, at its inception, slavery, in all its forms was considered humane and the right thing to do. Before slavery, when people groups had violent conflicts, the winning side would execute all males that could or did take up arms. Young, childbearing age women would be taken to become wives or part of harems. The elderly and sometimes children were also killed. The winning side of a conflict could not afford to leave behind remnants of people who would someday come back for revenge. They also had no way to take care of other populations.
This all changed with the agricultural revolution. This allowed people to grow enough food to be able to absorb other populations and to make those subjugated people into slaves. It created a labor force that they could now feed and keep alive. In that ancient world, most people considered being enslaved a better option than being executed.
I'm more saddened that people are only just learning this. The propoganda and misinformation has been on a whole other level and shows how powerful the lies have been.
What REALLY shows the power of propaganda is at the end when she begrudgingly admits, "There's an atom of truth in what she says".
Her mind is telling her that this was the truth, but she can't fully admit it. She instead claims that there's an 'atom'... some tiny bit of truth buried amid the rest, insinuating that most of it was not true. But she doesn't even try to point out what part of it was untrue. Deep inside, she knows it was all true, but she can't bring herself to say it. Such is the power of the big lie that underpins all of the hatred and division.
Because the truth isnt $$$$$$. They manufactured myths like "Roots" and other stories to market to us and keep reminding us every time they needed a vote or donations.
The only way they are exposed to the truth is to seek it out themselves, to be skeptical of the prevailing dogmatic narrative and intellectually curious enough, because they certainly will not be taught anything but lies in school. That's how sad the state of history and civics education has become.
Regardless of your opinions or conclusions, I’m genuinely impressed with anyone that is willing to listen to history and facts while keeping an open mind.
You inspire me to continue to practice what I preach. Keep up the great work. 🤘🏻🇺🇸
It's shocking truth that in the UK 🇬🇧 it was only in 2015 that, according to the Treasury, British taxpayers finished ‘paying off’ the debt which the British government incurred in abolishing slavery.
Part of what she said was inaccurate, On 25 March 1807 George III signed into law An Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, under which the transatlantic slave trade was banned in the British Empire. Not 1833
If I understand the difference,1807 the sales of people (slaves) was made illegal. 1833 freed all (then) current slaves in their empire.
Slavery has been around since Mesopotamia, literally 25 thousand years ago in ancient Africa. Slavery has been recorded since then and still continues today in Africa. America is still a baby when it came to slavery and America ended it 200 years ago. If anything blacks should be thankful America exists.
In Spain slavery was abolished in 1829, but it is not of any importance; we are used to Anglo-Saxon history not taking us into account.
They're constantly rewriting history to appear as bright as possible and to steal as much contributions as they can from humanity.
🤷🏿♂️ My Grandma was born a slave. All this will NEVER change how I feel. WHEN people Ask why I "hold unto" slavery, I merely wonder if they are also as dismissive of THEIR Grandparents lives, struggles, & accomplishments...
I recently learned a little of gypsy history was shocked by how brutally they were treated in Europe and around the world and the 500 years of slavery ending in the 1850s
Hi there. I have two ancestors from both sides of my family who were kidnapped, taken away from their families and sold into indentured servitude in America, One was Irish and the other was Scottish. Both white.
#TRUMP2024 ❤
I was taught to judge character not colour. Racism was not ever really on the news or tv. This has only been a thing the last 10-15 years. Its so sad that anyone not my age wouldnt know that.
Slavery has been a thing since shortly after the development of agriculture, which by newest findings, May have been 30,000 years ago
Tribes with no agriculture practiced slavery. Hunter gatherers took slaves.
A man called korse
@@FloridaMugwump Soooo its even older than 30,000 years?
It’s true that no race is blameless, but that is not to say that there’s no way to quantise what race did what to what extent, but that’s not a road we should go down, because it’s not productive, instead let’s focus on the future and how to get there without pointing fingers at each other.
This should be taught in school!!!
It was until just relatively recently, I'm 62 & I learned it in grade school.
You should also look into Irish slavery for some perspective as well. I'd like to hear other history buffs take.
i am irish and i dont expect any reparations. my family got over it came to north america and never looked back in anger.
@mikeohagan2206 never said I did either, just that it happened. Don't need anything in life, I didn't work for. That is the American dream. Why even bring up reparations when no one is asking about it? I don't think it would go anywhere anyway. Remember, the English fudged or forced the indentured servitude documents. It was a great example of C.Y.A. This muddies the waters enough that the vast majority will say it never happened.
You personally weren't ever sold. 😂
The public school lies hurt
Great summary at the end 👌🏼 you hit every important point👌🏼 no sides just facts
Yep. I remember watching a movie about the white guy who ended slavery in the uk, he was messed up about it happening, fought for it in court to be ended, he would get sweats and guilt and derealisation, luckily he got it abolished , not sure what movie it was I saw it when I was like 10. A decade ago and think of it now and then. Idk if I totally remember it accurately though
I did a genetic test and while my mother's side of the family was from Southern Germany, Bavaria, I am genetically slavic. At some point in time someone just drew a line around the area and the slavs of southern Germany became German while genetically different from the northern teutonic Germans. Ironically Hitler was from Bavaria and waged war on the Russians (Slavs) By the way, the Brits like to brag how they ended slavery thirty years before the US but they never talk about how they economically supported the Confederate cause by shipping goods, firearms, gunpowder etc to feed the Confederacy through the southern ports like New Orleans. Britain with the world's biggest navy took no action to stop the blockade runners supporting the south in the Civil War for selfish economic gain. They gave the rebels goods and got cotton in exchange for their domestic manufacturing of fabrics. The United States Navy had to block these shipments in the gulf. Hence the name "Blockade Runners" to describe the English hypocrites.
I will never understand why people complain about slavery.That hunt ended a 150 years ago.That has nothing to do with today's. But have nothing to say about slavery that still exists that still gos on is mine blowing. There are millions of child sex slaves in america today.
2:09 they'll never ever tell you that in school lol
Depend where you're from. In Europe it's common knowledge.
@@cedricfoucreau it's really not especially in North America the UK and Germany
The left in education does not want students to learn that slavery was all over the world. White people (Caucasians) were the last to enter the slave trade and the first race to declare slavery an abomination and leave slavery. In the United States, the anti-slavery Republican Party had to defeat the pro-slavery Democrat Party in the Civil War before the United States could help England and France end much of slavery in the world. The black Africans refused to give up the practice of slavery and continue to deal in the slave trade until this very day. It appears they will continue well into the future.
Blacks for Trump!
White men did not abolish slavery because they were white, but because they were Christian.
Something to think about when people say religion doesn't matter.
AMEN BROTHER...........
the Christians fought a war to keep it
LMAO what?
@@GunUDwnAt2nd He is right in a way, it was the very Christian abolitionist in the North who with free blacks started the Republican party with the sole purpose of ending slavery in the US.
@@GunUDwnAt2nd It's a matter of historical record where, when, and how the concept of human rights was developed. It was a product of the Church.
The ancient Greeks and Romans considered slavery a part of the natural order. In Islam, if you are enslaved or oppressed it is just an expression of Allah's will. Buddhism doesn't consider the travails of an individual life anything to get worked up about. Modern materialism posits we're all just pieces of meat, and why would a piece of meat object to being treated like a piece of meat?
No, you can't legitimately believe in human rights without believing in the antecedent principles, which are only found in the Christian religion.
Not just sold,but conquered,murdered,and enslaved.
This is one of the reasons why the woman king movie needs to be boycotted.
Interestingly enough - Slavery still exists in the Unites States, though not legally. And, it's not white Americans that have slaves, but ethnic minorities that have immigrated to the US from Africa, the Middle East, India, and China. These immigrant families usually bring their slave/s with them posing as a family member, and forcing them to work in the household fro free while forbidding them from leaving the homes and interacting with others. A quick web search will unearth many news stories where enslaved minorities (usually from the same country) have escaped and asked for help. The guilty have been prosecuted for their crimes. Central & South Americans, Mexicans and the Chinese have taken the lead in indenturing massive amounts of slaves in the US as a requirement for helping them illegally crossing the US borders or to pay of debts. Those from these areas are forced into prostitution, all phases of the drug trade, working in sweat shops, crime (gangs), and/or are obligated to pay part of their salaries to established gangs or risk being killed, or having their remaining family members raped or murdered. This of course is never brought up by race hustlers, who continue to state that slavery is a white problem.
Yeah, it was a white dude that walked into the jungles of Africa and said “get on the boat”. It was white dudes in England that ended slavery.
Whites couldn’t live longer than a year without vaccines which didn’t exist. Whites today still need vaccines to even enter Africa. So black on black crimes did that. Not the whites
I hope one day everyone can just be together and not have the hate ❤ the only way is to stop talking about racism: as it’s taught in childhood, nobody could learn it ❤instead teach to love everyone
They really think white people were just out there throwing nets 😂😂
Watch some thomas sowell
The simple fact is slavery is probably older than the wheel. Everyone did it, and did it to everyone else.
The race based slavery of the Atlantic slave trade was one particular form of slavery that didn't exist before about 1500 or so, and was ended by military force by the Europeans in the early to mid 1800s.
A shame they don't teach real history in schools....I guess there just isn't enough time when they have 50 new genders and pronouns to learn each week.
One Nation Under God. Peace, Love!!
Possibly the worst form of longstanding slavery in human history was the galley slave. Not exclusive to the mediterranean but practiced there for over a thousand years, it was the practice of enslaving another (christians to muslims, muslims to christians usually) to constantly man the oars below deck on a kingdom's (or republic like venice) navies. The conditions, to say the least, were death incarnate. No hygiene, no way to eat as much as you burn, exhausting, deadly work. It was practically a death sentence, and there would be another to take your place. While European nations began to ease up on the practice, it was really due to the practicality of using slaves on a sailing ship, rather than an oared one. The United States in the early 1800s even fought against these same muslim pirates, as they had continued to enslave Americans that used the mediterranean to trade with Europe. The Ottoman Empire did not stop their practice of enslaving Europeans until it collapsed in 1920. They also had one of the worst forms of slavery, in their Janissary Army. This would involve taking young christian boys from their family, castrating them, and forcing them into a life as an elite soldier for their masters. They did end up becoming their own political force, but I will leave that for another time.
In the New World, the objective was not necessarily about slavery to begin with, but rather conquest. The Spaniards initially perceived the natives as a conquerable, convertible population that could serve as a new peasantry for the Spanish elite. It was not to be too different than the European system, however there of course was enormous amounts of initial conflict revolving around this, and needless to say there were atrocities. It should be noted that the Spanish atrocities of this time were actions that universally match human activity across the planet. Only in the rarest of circumstances do you find groups that did not oppress others, or act in a way we would call abhorrent. It should also be noted that initial slaves were indentured servants, or debt slaves, alongside the natives. These were often Europeans of course. Debt slavery still exists today as a note.
The introduction of African slaves had more to do with biology than any desire to do so from the Europeans. Simply, why enslave people a continent away when the natives were right here to use as workers. It is often thought that the new world was some empty land ripe for the taking, but in reality it was chock full of peoples and tribes. Islands like Cuba probably had, with the lifestyle of the Taino peoples, about the maximum amount of people it could sustain naturally. So what changed? The biggest thing Candace does not mention is disease. More specifically, history was massively affected by the existence of mosquito-borne diseases.
During these times, west nile virus and malaria were a death sentence. For Europeans and natives, it was doom incarnate. In tropical regions, white people, before the invention of anti-fever drugs like quinine (modern advil), and better water and nutrition along with other things, would literally just die for the most part. Even up until the scramble for africa in the 18th century, massive swaths of Africa were colonized by Europeans using an administration of just a handful of individuals. Well, it turns out that ships going across the ocean brought the mosquito over from africa. And, it turns out Europeans themselves brought a whole group of OTHER diseases, that they were immunized to by hundreds of years of devastating plagues. This includes smallpox, and on stowaway rats, the bubonic plague. In the water, cholera.
What happened was the single largest die off of human life in our history. More than the black death, both during Justinian's plague and that of 1300s Europe. More than the Antonine plague, which was smallpox. More than any of them ever did individually, as they all hit the native population together, between around 1520 to 1600. Estimates show that upward of 95% of all native peoples died as a result, creating the "open land" that the European settlers enjoyed. Finally for this comment, it just so happens that many Africans have a genetic quirk that helps them resist mosquito borne illness--sickle cell anemia. At this point, in need of workers, it was the Dutch and Portugese that began to realize that they could purchase slaves there, and have them work on plantations in the new world. Thus began the cruel process of chattel slavery. Worse, this is what caused our idea of modern day race.
I just think it is important to note that humans were just brutal back then. Killing another human, or being around death were a part of normal every day life. Even noting this, the reasons for American slavery was not due to some prejudice that existed beforehand, but rather reasons that they did not even understand, such as disease. There also were some really amazing people who detested the very idea of slavery, and fought against the practice even back then. Shoutout to one such hero, Bartolomeo de las Casas, a moral man who told Spain what the conquistadors were doing to the natives.
Pilgrim father's left Plymouth Uk September 1620. They stopped at Newlyn/Mousehole Cornwall for stores and to clean the water barrels and get fresh water due to a fever in Plymouth. Only 25years before the Spanish had burnt Mousehole, Newlyn,Paul, Sheffield and Penzance in an attack. This area suffered continual attacks for hundreds of years also by the
Barbary pirates from North Africa capturing the locals and fisherman for slaves very few actually ransomed or returned. One year in Cornwall one thousand were taken into slavery by the Turks/Barbary pirates. Slavery was banned in Uk by William the conqueror. The Royal
Navy were used by Britain to enforce their sea power freeing those taken as slaves after Britain banned slavery in 1800s with many sailors dieing from plague etc on both the west and east of Africa.
Slavery was stopped by both Britain and America targeting the Muslim states of North Africa and eventually being ended when France invaded North Africa.
Slavery
I'm barely 35 and it shocks me how no one seems to know this stuff when I knew all of this by the time I was 12...
I grew up in Montana attending schools that were actually worth a crap and i didn't even know it at the time
I mean hell we would have to go through a holocaust museum set up in our gym every single year just so that we wouldn't forget about the nazis...
This just goes to show how bad school and education systems are in blue States...
Take the school system away from the Democrats put it back in the hands of the conservatives and you will see a change
The portuguese had bought slaves for cheaper than mirrors and rum...there are accounts of buying slaves with clothes, plates, food, water and other such commodities
For North America there was a 'trade triangle' in the 18th Century. Rum is made in the North, shipped to West Africa for slaves. Slaves primarily went to the West Indies in exchange for molasses. Molasses shipped to the Northeast to be made into rum. This is a simple version but one that was taught years ago when I was in school. Importation of slaves became illegal in 1820 in the US. Many blacks -- especially in Louisiana -- owned black slaves. Many of these fought for their State and the Confederacy.
Contrary to popular belief, the 'Civil War'' or rather Lincoln's War of Northern Aggression was not fought primarily over slavery. There were many abolitionists but they were not in the majority. (Note: N.Y. City draft riots where many blacks were targeted. There was a push for NYC to stay neutral and continue trading with the Confederacy.) The war was waged by Lincoln to prevent the South from leaving the Union -- the right of all sovereign states. The Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure made to disrupt the South and did not apply to Northern states such as Maryland or Tennessee where slavery existed.
Lincoln said if he could 'preserve the Union' but keep slavery, he would do it. His was an economic war of conquest waged by corporate interests he'd represented his entire life. He never thought blacks were equal to whites though he didn't believe in slavery. He favored deporting all black people to Africa.
Initially, there was progress during Reconstruction. Soldiers were sent south to keep the peace. Then in 1877, Republicans and Democrats made a deal to end protection. White Democrats in the South egged on the KKK to terrorize the electorate. Blacks -- a majority and primarily Republican -- were afraid to vote after electing many to Congress and local offices.
You weren’t sold by anyone
Look up the Kingdom of Dahomey (now Benin), and the name Tippu Tip.
2:33 Britain was not the first, slavery had been abolished in many places in Europe and elsewhere since the year 1000, but it was the first major colonial power to do so. But the main thing Britain deserves credit for is how it enforced this for other nations too; Britain actively used its naval power to prevent other nations from engaging in it as well. Without Britain there might still be an Atlantic slave trade today.
Irish nobility ( and English) stole the land and sold the people into slavery. Scottish nobility ( and English) stole the land and sold the people into indentured servitude and exile. The Scandinavian Kings ( the same for peoples near and far ). African kings did the same , stole land and sold the people into slavery. To this very day this way of enriching your friends and disposing of your competitors persists in many lands including Asia , India , and Africa. The ONLY effective push back against this model has come from those governments guided by Christian Ethics.
YOU weren't "sold" by anyone, your ancestors were...get over yourself.
Imagine you thought white people stole your ancestors . So you then base your being on that fact. Then you find out they were enslaved by thier own people. I can see how that would fuck with your mind.
"When a slave sets foot in Serbia, he/she becomes free. Either brought to Serbia by someone, or fled to it by him/herself. Article 118, Serbian constitution, February 15th, 1835
The DaHomey where the biggest slave trader in west Africa 🤯
Ive been telling them this sence i was in 5th grade. Im 47 now
here is the only point that matters WHO CARES WHERE SLAVERY STARTED that's like saying well child molestation was started by Chinese so it's o.k. to have it here in America because America did not start it. Ridiculous conversation
You dont have “people” - you are not “they/them” - you are an individual and individuals do things (good and bad).
You weren't sold by anybody to anybody. stop with. "I was sold by" NO stop it
As someone who knows exactly what church my ancestor excaped slavery via underground railroad through, let me say neither you nor my self were ever sold into slavery
And yet black people are silent
Sadly you were. My white great great great grandfather was a slave from scotland. He died a slave. But, I do have a.lil African in me and my African grandfather survived the civil war. Lived to his seventies.
No one in history has clean hands
What about the children today as sex slaves, who's speaking for them? Or are they just throw aways
Hate to be the one to tell her: this has been history all along. Not just some new thing that’s popped up.
I? I don't think so. This is the same craziness that people have to put up with in Scotland. They have Americans trampling through their gardens looking through the windows because "their ancestors once lived in the house". Just because your friends grandmother once sat on a thistle, does not make you Scottish!
I note that all these people in America pointing fingers around over slavery, aren't saying anything about invading African nations and putting a stop to it.
The European super elite families who created the U S are descendants of those who were deservedly ousted from Egypt by the Persians long ago. They migrated up thru Greece & then Rome (Vatllcan)…then GB (m0narchy) & Germany…ruthlessly building empires, & a religion, along the way.
I tried posting this comment about the super elite migration under the pilgrim/slave convo & it kept getting removed. Happens a lot.

Ehhh, looks like it got removed again🤣 I’ll drop it in the main comments…not as a reply, & see if it sticks.
@@uncuttfunk I'm sure it was crazy BS anyway, so I can live without knowing what it was you were babbling about.
The abolition of slavery within Portugal had been decreed by the Marquis of Pombal in 1761 but i guess y'all can keep claiming that one...i guess
the abolition of slavery in France dates from 1793, before England, even if Napoleon reestablished it in the colonies in 1802 until the total ban in 1848
Africa is not made up of one happy people. It is tribal - and some of those tribal hatred go back countless generations. Kenya alone has over 30 tribes, but only one really dominates. Same for all of Africa - tribes - ruling powerful tribes lord it over, and prey up the lesser, weaker tribes. African coastal Kingdoms, made themselves rich and powerful selling their enemies and lesser tribes into slavery - and were doing long before any European showed up. Africans are a long, long way from being any kind of one people. African Americans have a shared identity because of the awful history of slavery - but it really does not apply to anywhere in Africa.
The Roman empire also had far more white slaves!!! They got them from invading Germania and the Gauls which is France in present day, France. The franks- were at one time Germania, and that became part of the Roman empire. The Romans did have some black slaves after they took control of the Mediterranean into North Africa.. but most of them are Arabic.
Well< I will say it then, the abolition of slavery is an argument in favor of making white men better than their peers at that time.
Slavery was all about who was selling the cheapest people. Africa was Costco for people purchasing
I see Candace and I click!! Here i am and this woman is an awesome human being!! would love to see her as a Supreme Court Justice!!
Not disrespect to the black culture, but the truth is you guys use this as an excuse just not to get on with your lives and become better than what you’re meant to be
Nice topic 👏
Who owned the boats
I ran into African slaves in Iraq on the Iranian border, in the open and completely legal.
Thomas Sowell narrated video goes deep into black slave history. The persian empire enslaved millions of whites for very very long time. I think the one that bothers me the most and it was Thomas Sowell who pointed it out. The tv series " ROOTS" that took place in the 80's which stirred up a lot of racial tension was actually fact checked. Alex Haley, the creator of the TV Series was asked about the, " Historical Accuracy" of his tv series. Haley's response and im quoting him, " I wanted to give my people a MYTH to live by". A MYTH. Here is definition of mythology. ( a collection of myths or stories about a specific person, culture, religion, or any group with shared beliefs. Most people don't consider mythology to be entirely true, but they still take it seriously ) SO basically a distortion or a lie put together to tell a story how someone wanted to tell it though not true. That is a pretty crappy thing to do with such a sensitive situation regarding slavery and the actual facts and truth behind alllllll slavery.
Please place your Microphone lower. just underneath your bottom lip.
that way people can hear you better, also people who are hard of hearing can see your lips and understand what you're saying.
especially as you have a strong accent when speaking English.
You also has nice teeth it would be nice to see them and much of your expressions which are required to put across clearly what you are saying is being hidden.
Microphones are omnidirectional so this should not cause you any issues with sound quality.
only improvements in video presentation. 😁
I absolutely adore her.
Chattel slavery was not like any other slavery. It was the first time humans were treated like cattle. Just because it had facts doesn’t mean the whole truth was told in that video. I’m a history and there are a lot of facts that were missing
That's not true.
@@Boudicaisback I need evidence to support your claim! I have several, hbu?
It’s not „your people“ just because you got the same skin color. I’m from Germany and my Germanic ancestors favorite thing was going to war with other Germanic tribes. The same did Native American and African tribes. Seems a dark side of human nature
From a man's point of view, history seems very complicated. From God's point of view, it is very simple. Throughout the History of Man our God has never changed. He has never asked us to jump through hoops, walk through fire, or do anything but stand and listen. He gave us free will to choose for ourselves. But don't be mistaken, all of it belongs to Him.
Race hustlers, that explains why we stay divided.
She forgot Korean as well
JEWISH business people were very heavy envolved in the slave trade and the slave ownership ...
they also dont tell you how many slaves were pows..... which would be kind of interesting just to know.
You seem to have misunderstood the nature of slavery in Africa, the slavers were 'other' people (of a different tribe). They weren't enslaving and selling their own people, they were enslaving and selling 'other' people (from different tribes).
You weren't sold by your own people, you (or your ancestors) were sold by 'other' people who your ancestors didn't consider their people, and who didn't consider your ancestors as their people.
And I hate to have to point it out, Africa is still tribal in nature. Not as bad as it was back then, but it is still there.
On a brlghter note, you're not alone, every people from everwhere has been sold, or has sold 'other' people at one time or another.
It's a dark side of human psychology, that 'other' thing. It's been responsible for various levels of human suffering for centuries, it's the same thing that happened with the Jews and Roma in WWII. They were 'other' as well, and paid a horrific price for being classified as that by idiots who believed there was such a thing as racial purity.
I agree on tribalism and especially African tribalism , but you are wrong about Jews and Romans and in general about ancient world. Economy was cheap work force based , social ierarchy was strict -vulnerable, poor and defeated people turned easily into slaves after wars and / or misery . The prejudice against Jews was kind of cultural, the OT is full of the mutual hatred between Jews and "Idolaters" who Jews proudly erase. I am not endorsing anti semite prejudice, it's just different from the concept of purity and superior race we have still (sadly, and especially in the US) today and is heavily influenced by pseudoscience of race who put black people as humankind bottom tier, even without black people themselves displaying any troubling behaviour . The only religion who has explicit traditional texts about black people as inferior creatures created by the Devil is Islam, some troubling Hadith probably issued in the same era when Arab slave traders were the most succesful and merciless traders in subsaharan Africa,even worse than the transatlantic traders. So basically slavery was always more about tribalism, economy, ierarchy rather than "purity" of race for a long time. After 18-19th century the frame of "purity" became mainstream and overhelming against black people. Tragic enough , before ww2 there were pseudoscientists of race even among the Jews . Just to remember that , ironically, things and truths are nuanced. Edit: of course the very concept of race is just a lie, let alone one "superior" or "inferior", but in the US this "cult" still is official conflating physical appearence with ethnicity and creating surreal census.
@@elleanna5869 I never said it was the same thing, I said it was derived from the same part of the human psychology. Considering people who aren't your own people, as 'other' has allowed all sorts of hideous things to be done. The Jews are other because they are not us, the Roma are other because they are not us, the different tribe from the adjacent value are other, because they're not us. It's still very much with and in humanity to this day. We all have it, it is the source of nearly every human conflict ever, Even civil wars have been because of the differences of 'other'.
The concept of "my people" is absurd. I mean unless you're talking about actual family ties. People have no loyalty to one another purely based on race.
@@michaelbuick6995 It's the racial purity idea that I'va always considered to ba an absolute absurdity. To get that you would have to be 'inbred'. We are all a mixture of our forebears, and some of them were pretty promiscuous. Some of us are still carrying Neanderthal DNA, how can anyone even believe that there is such a thing as racial purity, our forebears couldn't even maintain genetic species purity.
Thank you.

Speaking as an historian and educator in history, this is a pretty bad rendering of the story of history of slavery by someone, Owens and PragerU, with a clear agenda. A five-minute video is not going to capture the entirety of slavery. Fortunately for Owens and PragerU, this is not their goal, making the video a littler easier to produce, although they should more accurately title it, How Slavery isn't White People's Fault. This would, at least, give a clearer understanding of the aims of the five minute mini-lesson and why it contains frequent incomplete characterizations, manipulation of facts to create a false narrative, very poor sourcing, and, quite simply, outright lies.
It would take many paragraphs to highlight all of those issues, but a scattered few will have to do. So, for instance, correcting a lie might note the British were not the first to ban slavery in 1833. Attributing the abolition of the practice to the British would have been news to the people of Haiti, who conducted the first, and only, successful slave revolt in human history in the late 1790s, beating the British in eliminating slavery by over three decades. Not having the Haitian Revolution in the "History of Slavery", even in a just 5 minute video, is asinine. The story of slavery can't be told without this event. Beyond Haiti, you could also throw in the fray a number of Latin American countries, like Mexico, Bolivia, Uruguay, Chile, and others, which banned slavery in the decade prior to the British.
Of course, those countries aren't white, so the narrative claimed by Owens would be disrupted and we can't have facts get in the way of her apologia.
Then, there's small stuff, like John Gordon Steele a "renowned historian" (He's not. Plenty of other far, far better historians on the topic. Try, say, Eric Foner, for instance.) or mixing up the nature of slavery in the US with slavery worldwide when it suits the video's agenda, which permeate the video.
Then there's bigger narratives, like the failure to present context of "facts", which is a critical element of any historian worth their salt analyzing a topic. So, when Owens talks about 300,000 white soldiers dying for slavery, which is kind of true with some important caveats, there's a LOT missing there and, interestingly (and predictably) omits the fact black people were not permitted to fight in the war until 1863 and then served (and died) in large numbers to "turned the tide" of the war, according to Lincoln.
Why not mention this fact of black soldiers in "A History of Slavery"? Oh, yes. Black people can't be seen to have a role in the end of slavery in this rendering by Owens and Prager. Gotta keep the narrative straight.
There's far more wrong with this video (Almost an impressive amount wrong for such a short video), but I'll spare the longer lecture in hopes the point has been made. It aggravates me to no end to keep seeing this garbage video bouncing around CZcams and reading the comments of people advocating it as some kind of revelation or factual accounting of the story of slavery. Instead of watching crap shoveled into your brain such as "modern slavery is exclusively practiced in non-white countries" and believing this nonsense while modern slavery clearly exists all over the planet in forms of sex trafficking, forced labor, etc., READ A BOOK. There's a ton of them and a whole handful of excellent ones. They take a little more effort than a five-minute Prager video, but you'll be so, so, so, so much more informed and a little more impervious to the deceit of those like Owens and Prager.
African American, or American African .
no your people did not sell u, probly another tribe did. its weaird mindset sayin the black people sold blackpeople is your people. im swedish so very white, but i dont see englishmen or french as my people. i see them as fellow europens but their not swedes and their not nordic.
Taking advice from candace owens who is Caribbean on my fba people is crazy plus she said all that to say at the end yea victim mindset lol silly stop being lazy and go read real anthropologic info and not this bs john henrike clark dr ben dr welsing
i mean this is not so correct there is a big diference between modern slavery and ancient slavery , modern is based on race , ancient not all , so ive seen a lot of persons trying to take out the responibility of europeans on this horrible system , modern slavery only blacks were enslaved . and saying that some african kingdons sold them to the european does not compensate anythying since the slavery practice by these kingdons was independent of race and still was not for there whole live besides being a slave you would still be seen as a human who could get liberty , im not defending any type of slavery system but seriously there is a enourmous diference , nothing was ever comparable to the traffic of people as objects done during the colonial time with as SPCiFIC race , and the way this video was made was totally manipulated
and this video is literally made by a person that is not a historian , totally ridiculous , how people manipulate data to their on purpose , talking about slavery and then genocide of millions of natives , and they dare to say this , what is next the holocaust is not that horrible the nazis were nice , yes they killed lots of people and tried to exterminate a whole ethnicity , but it is okay history is complicated , this woman is a politic that says what she believes regardless of being false or not
What is the difference between being enslaved and being enslaved because of your race? I somehow doubt the slave themselves gives a damn about the rules of who can and cannot be enslaved. You say several times in your post that slavery, and race based slavery, are very different, but you never articulate why. So what is the actual functional difference?
How about start with this: THERE ARE NO BLACK HUMANS, THERE ARE NO WHITE HUMANS, THERE ARE NOT MULTIPLE RACES OF HUMANS. THERE IS ONLY ONE HUMAN RACE; ADAMS RACE.
Pilgrims didn’t show til 1620…so what, they made sure they had their slaves ready upon arrival? Sick.
Pilgrims didn't have slaves.
@@Tijuanabill According to the documents, the first African slaves arrived on an English privateer ship called the White Lion in 1619….so can you please tell me who, in America, purchased these slaves when the pilgrims didn’t show until 1620? By all accounts, these people were purchased ahead of their arrival.
@@Tijuanabill & no offense, but we’ve been discovering, for years now, that the history we’ve been told is NOT true history. Not even close.
@@uncuttfunk Do you think the Pilgrims were the first Europeans to arrive in America? Whaaaaat? Seriously, you think that? You don't know about the other colonies, in the South???
@@Tijuanabill no I do not think that…this place was crawling with diversity when the pilgrims showed. & Africans had been freely sailing to America for 500+ yrs prior to 1619. The pilgrim/thanksgiving story is just that…a story.
