Thank you for this great series.

Interesting enough, despite the British making slavery illegal and banning it, the government and various companies would find loopholes around it to exploit cheap labor. Namely using a lot of indentured servants who were basically temporary slaves in all but in name, with most coming from India. It's why some places in Africa, South America, and the Caribbean of former British colonies have random large Indian communities as most are descendants of these former “indentured servants”.

Wow never knew that Oba akintoye abolished slavery in Lagos. Interesting. This needs to be talk about more

I'll have to check but just citing "500 people of the British army" vs 10,000 Ashanti is misleading. I believe they had well over a thousand Fante on the right flank and a 1000 Denkyira troops on the left, and the Denkyria were by far the best soldiers on the British and Fante side, conducting an impressive fighting retreat. In fact, I believe General McCarthy (a very likable and significant historical figure because of his time in Freetown) was killed while trying to get to the Denkyria, whose leader predicted a day before (?) how the battle would play out if they didn't fall back and join with another of the 4 British/Fante columns. General McCarthy didn't take his advice largely because he didn't believe a large army could move so fast, yet they did and it's logical to assume that the type of talking drums they invented that sent detailed messages over miles, telling people what to do, played a role in coordinating the army to strike at the best point so decisively , which was hard for the British to imagine because the Asante drum system sent messages over 100+ miles faster than any other communication system on earth, even surpassing the telegraph, which wasn't invented yet and didn't have the significant Ashanti advantage a being a mobile system unlike other fixed systems like the Great Wall of China or the line of stations of visual signals used in the Napoleonic Wars. This is a lot of speculation and I haven't read any of the primary and secondary sources for some years , but is in line with what was later learned about the Ashanti army. The Ashanti also had an elite reconnaissance and scouting unit that was likely providing valuable info and would be pretty cool if they played a hand in stopping the 40 or so carriers on the supply line, leaving the British with only macaroni (that's probably getting way too imaginative but if I was making a movie I'd throw that in there). The two English officers that survived didn't hide the fact that they were outclassed and outsmarted by the Ashanti. Moreover, the British had been planning for and trying to provoke a war for years, especially when McCarthy arrived. The Ashanti were desperately trying to have a diplomatic solution to their problems, yet the British stopped listening. Everyone knew a war was coming long before the murder of the officer, which was just used as pretext. All that being said, appreciate your work!

The British attempting to stamp out slavery was a safety pre-cautional measure for themselves. They've noticed that slaves were outnumbering them gradually and were revolting against the inhuman conditions meted on them daily. They(the British) quickly understood that with the continuous trend of influx of slaves for another more century will result to the slaves overpowering and conquering them in their own land. Moving the slaves out from their territories was one of the reasons why so many countries in the Carribbean were created and some were moved to Africa in cities like Freetown of Sierra Leone, Monrovia of Liberia and Libreville of gabon. So in short, the British do not deserve any credit from us for attempting to abolish the slave trade. It was a self defense strategy to avoid a backlash in the future. I hope you understand.

Henry Morton Stanley seemed more annoyed to learn the scope of what he was meant to be doing after he’d already started than horrified. I assume states like the Rozwi Empire or the states in the Great Lakes will be mentioned as Europeans interact with and occupy them?

There is a Christian apologetic pattern / pro-Christian bias in this series. Whenever something bad happened to them (e.g. a massacre or enslavement by Barbary pirates e.g. 25:25), they are labelled 'Christians', whenever they did something bad, they are labelled 'Europeans' or, say, 'Portuguese'. You'll never see Jabzy use the words 'Christian slave trade' or 'Christian colonialism'. On the other hand, extensive use of 'Islamic slave trade' is made throughout his narrative, usually as a defence right after he has talked about 'European slave trade'. These semantics are misleading. Several quotes are given from native African rulers arguing to continue the slave trade, but never from European ones, giving the impression that it was Europeans who only want to abolish it and Africans only wanted to keep it. This selective presentation of facts is misleading. This video in particular also really pushes the narrative of the British colonisers as do-gooders (despite the occasional - commendable - criticism) in abolishing the slave trade over against the Boers in South Africa and Oba Akitoya's brother in Lagos, of course all for purely ethical reasons and with no motives of power and greed. At 2:48 it commits the No True Scotsman fallacy by arguing the Muhammad Ali dynasty of Egypt 'were the first TRUE colonisers of Africa', ignoring how, say, the Dutch and later British Cape Colony had already existed for centuries (1652) before Muhammad Ali Pasha came along and conquered Sudan in the 1820s. Apparently the Cape Colonists were Not True Colonists according to the Encyclopaedia Jabzyca? This way of framing matters is misleading.

What do you mean with the end of slavery? Slavery never ended in Africa. Apparently there are more slaves in Africa today, than there were during the time of thee New World Slave Trade.

Slavery was always practiced in Africa, way before the Arab slave traders came the Romans, the Greeks and way later and the Americans and still is widely practiced in Africa currently in many African countries.

I'm not here to deny you but what documented or archaeological evidence proves slavery was practiced in Africa before the coming of the Greeks? I thought you scholars claimed ancient Egypt wasn't part of Africa but the Near East? Also, list all the many African countries still practicing slavery today like you claim. I don't see slave markets in my country nor in neighboring countries.

@@cjyoung4080 "Egypt is in the continent of Africa and are Africans but not Sub-Saharan Africa and do not look like sub Sahara Africans" Unfortunately for you there isn't any Sub-Saharan African race unless you can back it up with any reliable sources. I like how you distinguish between the ancient Egyptians and the other African cultures you consider Sub-Saharan. By your logic and with your own words, I'd say we have evidence that slavery was earliest practiced among North Africans specifically the ancient Egyptians and not among West, Central, East, Southern African cultures.

Technically, I think the Assyrians might have been the first non-African empire to conquer African land when they conquered Egypt. Followed closely by the Persian Empire.

I'm curious about how Leopold tamed the Congo. I know his diplomatic justifications, but as for the on the ground stuff I know less about.

It's complicated but most if not all of the atrocities were perpetrated by native Congolese in Belgian service. Everyone knows the hand chopping stuff. What the Congolese servicemen did was chop off the hands of their fellow countrymen just to present them to the Belgian authorities and get bounties and promotions. Until the Belgian administration figured out something was wrong and put an end to the abominable practice.

Most of this is unrelated to american history in any meaningfull way. The british blocked export of slaves to america way before this, and america didnt have any holdings. This era of african history is interesting, but not really that relevant for the americans. There is plenty of underaprechiated history, and only so much time to teach it. Chinese history is colorful, south american too, european history even has underaprechiated aspects, the 1500-1600s for example are a bit forgotten in the common mind, with the exit of the medieval era and the entry of the pike and shotte

According to the second edition (1989) of the OED, the earliest known usage of the word “racism” in English occurred in a 1936 book by the American “fascist,” Lawrence Dennis, The Coming American Fascism. The second usage of the term in English that the OED records is in the title of a book originally written in German in 1933 and 1934 but translated into English and first published in 1938 - Racism by Magnus Hirschfeld, translated by Eden and Cedar Paul. Since Hirschfeld died in 1935, before the publication of Dennis’ book the following year, and had already used the word extensively in the text and title of his own book, it seems only fair to recognize him rather than Dennis as the originator of the word “racism.” In the case of the word “racist” as an adjective, the OED ascribes the first known usage to Hirschfeld himself. Who was Magnus Hirschfeld and what did he have to tell us about “racism”? Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935) was a German-Jewish medical scientist whose major work was in the field of what came to be known as “sexology” ...
