Whites sold other whites into slavery. Viking raids in Western Europe, such as Ireland, could be sold to Moorish Spain via the Dublin slave trade or transported to Hedeby or Brännö and from there via the Volga trade route to present day Russia, where slaves and furs were sold to Muslim merchants in exchange for Arab silver ...

The Barbary pirates had NOTHING to do with "Muslim imperialism." They were just pirates in the exact same way the Vikings were pirates. Vikings pillaged Europe and the Mediterranean long before the Barbary pirates did, and were still at it long after. In fact it could be argued the Vikings were much worse than the Barbary pirates, and preyed on a much larger area of Europe and the entire Mediterranean. The slave trade was their bread and butter, and in fact the Vikings were the worst and most active slavers in world history.

Here's another couple of fun facts that i bet they also don't tell the kids, both white AND black in your schools 1 All the slave ships had to do was wait in the West African ports because they knew that the slaves would be captured in the African interior and brought to the coast by slavers ''working'' in the interior. Guess what colour these slavers were? I'll give you a bloody great clue----------- They weren't white! 2 The trans Atlantic slave trade was stopped by the British navy, at a great cost in British lives, until it was finally eradicated. 3 Bonus fun fact---------- The British outlawed slavery in 1807. Saudi Arabia outlawed slavery in 1962!!! (Last time i looked, the Saudis aren't white either).

Who is "average" in Spain and Portugal (places I spent years)? Who's an average European, an average 'white'? Most Berbers I know (with some exceptions) are definitely darker than the average Spaniard, especially those from the interior and northern parts. Let alone whites from northern Europe. Those who live in the Netherlands are definitely darker than their average neighbour, diverse in skin tone as they may be amongst themselves. One of those I know makes a clear racial distiction between himself and Dutch indigenous people, and looking at him I can't say I'm surprised he does. I think (by their smiles) most have darker gums too, like a substantial amount of Andaluz people and Iberian Gitanos (who definitely don't consider themselves white, probably more of an ethnic than a racial distinction). I'm not an expert, but your position still surprises me. Depends on what 'whites' you compare yourself to, I guess. I must confess I considered your initial statement more of a political than an antropological one.That may have been some sort of knee-jerk reaction on my part, based on my experiences with pretty disingenuous discourse on the internet.

Barbary pirates used to raid the coast of Ireland to "capture" young women, who were then sold to harems in Turkey. They used very manoeuvrable boats called xebeques or something similar, which had lateen or triangular sails, which allowed them to sail against the wind, and a part of the sides low enough to use large oars, which allowed them to flee or move in directions that were impossible for the usual boats. One of these ships sank, and strangely, the Barbary pirates were accepted by the Irish as shipwrecked and remained living in Ireland. They even made some raid to Iceland, also to kidnap young women, since women with blond hair and very white skin had a high price in Turkish harems

A couple of points, Barbary Corsairs main focus was referred to as white gold! White slaves. The term Corsair actually refers to a pirate who is contracted by a state to engage in their activities on their behalf, effectively plausible deniability. The scale of their activities can only be alluded to by one raid on the island of Gozo, 6000 slaves were captured and transported. Just the scale of how many Corsairs would be needed to capture apprehend and transport this many people.English towns were raided constantly, many smaller settlements were evacuated and abandoned. The island of Lundy was for a time used by the pirates as base for their operation. The city of Dublin was founded as a slave market for captives taken in Britain and Ireland. This trade continued until recent years slave markets were closed by Italian troops in the early 1900’s. One other aside a town in Britain was raided and the population taken to slave markets in Africa Lord Cromwell sent his general of ships to bring them back, when they arrived they demanded release of their countrymen. On being refused they bombarded the town virtually destroying it, moving to the next town where enslaved people were held, the demand was met by an immediate release of the enslaved British people.

The Barbary Pirates raided South and West coasts of England, Wales and Ireland. The song "Rule Britannia" was written to celebrate the Royal Navy clearing the seas around Britain of these state-sponsored slavers, and an exhortation to "rule the waves" to make sure that Britons"never shall be slaves" Right-on commentators today like to associate the song with colonialism and black slavery, whereas it's a call to anti slave actions.

I'm very curios where you got this story from. I live close to Yulee and have relatives who live there. I have never heard this story. If you research him it never says anything of the such. He was born in St. Thomas and moved to Fl as a child. Yes, he was Jewish and of Morrocan decent but his father was a Morracan Jew who lived in St. Thomas... not a Sultan. Sure its an interesting story but it sounds more like fantasy than fact. If you have documentation to support it, I think you should submit it to the Yulee Historic Council. Have a great day!

The Barbary pirates were no joke. To this day there are areas of Europe's coast where the population still hasn't fully recovered their past sizes from slave raids. It wasn't until France invaded Algeria that the Barbary pirates were finally stopped.

As a Croatian, we were the main enslaved by the Turks, one of the main slaves from the Barbary slave trade, Asians from the ghengis period came, and we never owned slaves in America. Yet, I have white skin (tan but white still) and I am blamed for owning slaves lol.

Captain James Riley wrote an incredible story of survival called Skeletons on the Zahara. He was ship wrecked and against all odds survived along with 6 of his crew members. Gives great historical context of the Sahara slave trade in 1816.

They weren't always part of the Ottoman Empire, thus what happened due to the Ottoman Empire Itself (and turks alone, prior to the creation of said Empire) doesn't count in this specific case-study. If you start taking into account all the slaving activities performed by the Ottoman Empire, not just against European but against black people, Persians and some countries of Asia...

Slavery was everywhere in old world, the problem with American slavery is that it was a racial thing. Mediterranean slavery was more about religious groups, and before Christianity and Islam, it was based upon from which land you were. It wasn't as severe as American slavery, it didn't rely on work as much either. There're records of Osman of Temeshvar, a Turk who was captured and enslaved by Austrians in 17th century for example, his depictions reflect that it was cruel, but not necessarily malevolent to be a "captive" as they called it. Turks, Arabs, Barbers and Christians all had a general understanding of customs in between, and these slaves could be worked as house slaves, land tillers, and even as militas. It was well documented, regulated and all And the otherside, was even more regulated, Ottomans had very complex law and regulations about slave status, you could be enslaved, only to be the goddamn Vezir-i Azam of the entire empire, which is a rank second only to Sultan himself. Wheras American slavery, was just using West Africans, enforcing them into a horrific life for cheap labour, and then also justifying it culturally, claiming to bring civilisation, and never accepting Africans as humans that deserve equal worth to "whites" Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha, the grand admiral of Ottomans, and a damn greatest privateer of his day, has a memoir, you can really see that, muslims and christians(Mainly Spaniards) in 16th century, weren't that different than eachother and they could easily trade, and speak a common tongue, and have similar customs And more importantly, when the St. John's Knights of Rhodes captured his brother Hızır, Hayreddin himself says that he heard that Christian knights urged their grand master to not be so cruel to the man, because itwas seafarer's life and any one of them can be captives to the muslims, and dishonoring people is against Jesus' teachings

Just a bit on galley operation - the "galley slave" who lived and died at their oar is largely a work of fiction. Rowing a galley is extremely strenuous. Galley operators typically had shifts of rowers and they had to be well fed. Even those who were working under enslavement were well fed and had relief. It was entirely impractical to work a man to death especially on warships and pirate vessels. A galley operated by a single shift of starving chained rowers would be barely functional and ships with military and bandit intent had to be fast and efficient.

Ben Hur got it right, you didn't stop being a galley slave when unchained from the oar, you were chucked into the ship's hold to recover and replaced with a fresher slave. Just think about horses 🐎, they do not stop being horses when you stop riding them.

the Royal Navy saw a massive rejuvenation largely due to the impact of the Barbary Corsairs during the mid 1600's, as the impact of the civil wars gave way to the impact of the pirates. The Royal Navy continued to expand its combat operations to the point where, alongside the Dutch Royal Navy and the French Royal Navy, there was little to no Barbary piracy in the North and Irish seas. In turn, the economic reliance of Britain on the Mediterranean saw the RN maintain a permanent presence there to this day (such as Gibraltar, Malta, etc). While it was not as aggressive in land combat (the British Army was more occupied with issues elsewhere in the world), the RN was constantly active in the Mediterranean, Africa and the Home Fleet to destroy the scourge of piracy close to them, not to mention the piracy operations undertaken farther afield (such as in the Caribbean and Pacific). Hence why the RN had a permanent role throughout its history, whereas for a long time armies would be disbanded between wars.

Many Cornish fishermen were taken from their fishing boats by Barbary pirates. "Ship money" was traditionally levied on coastal counties, formerly in times of war. It wasn't strictly speaking a tax so didn't need to be approved by parliament. Charles 1st levied it in peace time too and inland counties also had to pay, ostensively to be used to counter piracy, but the King keep the money for himself. This was very unpopular and one of the things which led to the English Civil War.

The Barbary Slave Trade is an inconvenient truth for the modern narrative of slavery that only highlights cases of Whites enslaving non-Whites. But here it was 1.5 million Whites were kidnapped and enslaved by non-Whites, with raids going as far up as Iceland and Ireland. As the video mentions, the women were sorted by attractiveness. The paler skin of Europeans, especially if you took them from somewhere like Iceland or Ireland, was seen as more exotic for North Africa and the Middle East, so they were in more demand. So yes, this was racial slavery.

Viking raids in Western Europe, such as Ireland, could be sold to Moorish Spain via the Dublin slave trade or transported to Hedeby or Brännö and from there via the Volga trade route to present day Russia, where slaves and furs were sold to Muslim merchants in exchange for Arab silver ...

Won’t be hearing about this 24 hours a day nonstop in media and other venues😊

Barbary pirates did raid British coastal towns in the English channel and even sailed into the mouth of the River Thames in the early C17th. Barbary pirates reached as far north as Iceland. The Anglo-Dutch bombardment of Algiers in 1816 was a much bigger operation than US activity in the area. Contrary to the impression given by this video, piracy along the north African coast was finally halted by the French occupation of Algeria and Tunisia.

I have only one complaint that really aggravates me across the board. Anytime slaves are mentioned in a video they post images of blacks in chains. This video does it and pretty much everyone else, perpetuating this belief that Africans have been perpetual slaves, since always. This is FALSE. For most of Africa's history Africans were NOT slaves, and wealthy powerful African individuals and kingdoms were seen no different than any other of any region. It is only since the British slave trade to the Americas that blacks only were taken as slaves. Why? Because slavery was illegal in Europe, after the fall of Rome, but starting in the 16th century, maybe influenced by these Barbary pirates, an exception was made for Africans ONLY, because they were considered "not quite human" and "savages". But historically slave had nothing do so with Africa or skin color. Every culture was enslaved at some point, and the Barbary pirates mostly enslaved white Europeans, light skinned North Africans, or whomever else they could capture. This myth that Africans have always been slaves needs to stop by always associating images of blacks in chains anytime the word laves pops up.

In 1416, slavery was banned in the Republic of Dubrovnik. The vote was 76 to 3 in favor of abolishing slavery in the city council. In the statement signed by all, it is written: we abolish slavery because slavery is disgusting and a shame to humanity.

We did like Saudis though the Romans were extra brutal bc they used their slaves for both work and elsewhere.

@@mugikuyu9403 because it can easily be distorted as if it was an exclusive instance of slavery that spontaneously was created by evil white people in Britain and America as a result of racial supremacist ideas and not the continuation of a practice that can be tracked through every human civilisation in recorded history, in which every ethnicity has been both the victim and perpetrators of it, making it messy and misleading to cut out a small piece of history to create a simplistic cartoon villain out of a single culture of race. The population on the coastlines of Europe were getting stripped bare with the populations of entire towns, one after the other, taken by Ottoman Empire slaver raids, people who managed to avoid capture would then spend everything they had to gain passage on a boat so they could go to the slave markets in person in hopes to buy back their families, sometimes they were successful in locating and buying them back, if they could afford to, sometimes they had to choose which loved ones to buy and which to leave behind but other times they were too late anyway and some if not all family members had already been sold to non-European owners and they would never see them again. Likewise for entire families caught by the slavers they’d all be sold off separately and never know what fate befell one another. Sometimes governments were more or less extorted with the “offer” to buy back an entire town of recently abducted people, especially for important fishing towns where they knew losing all those fishermen would impact food supply. Historical context is helpful, especially in destroying the notion of whites as only ever being slave owners and not victims of massive scale enslavement too. If you get too narrow in the history you’re looking at you can end up with ideas about history that are extremely skewed. This doesn’t absolve Europeans of Americans for participating in the slave trade, but it helps get rid of the idea they single handedly invented it and bear singular guilt for it or that they were never hurt by it themselves. But in reference specific to African American slaves, the most overlooked aspect of the transatlantic slave trade is the culpability of other nations and cultures who sustained the slave trade, the British and Americans weren’t running around hunting down slaves in Africa, they were buying them from non-European slavers, specifically Africans and Arabs, who had been the ones to capture and chain these individuals in the first place. Slavery is a guilt for humankind as a whole to take responsibility for creating and perpetuating it, for having ever done such a thing to fellow human beings. Regardless it took the collaboration of everyone around the world to truly bring it to and end. The biggest complication of our fixation with historic slavery blame games is that it’s taken the attention away from the plain as day reemergence of slavery happening RIGHT NOW, of modern day slave markets with human beings in bondage and price tags hanging around their necks, standing next to the cattle and pens of chickens also up for sale as if they’re no different. No international government bodies doing anything to intervene. The world previously united to forcefully dismantle the transatlantic slave trade, the first time in history such a thing has happened, we can’t let that go to waste and let slavery creep back into existence, we especially shouldn’t wait till it finally impacts us personally in first world countries to do something. If we got our heads out of the past we could continue to do the most important thing possible for the present day: stop slavery in its entirety and never give it the chance to come back.

I bet the mainstream education and media won't ever teach this in schools or universities.

Even as north as Iceland the slaveshis were landing. As per Wikipedia: In 1627, three Arab pirate ships from the Ottoman-controlled Barbary Coast raided several towns on the south coast of Iceland and outlying islands.[3] They attacked Grindavík and Heimaey. In Grindavík, townspeople could flee into the lava field of Reykjanes and hide indefinitely. Heimaey was so isolated that it was vulnerable and people suffered. Many heroic stories were told of the people who survived the invasion, most notably Guðríður Símonardóttir. Better known as Tyrkja-Gudda (Turkish-Gudda), she was taken by the pirates from her home at Stakkagerði on Heimaey to the slave market in Algeria. From there she bought her way back to Iceland through Tunisia, Italy and Denmark-Iceland was then under Danish rule. Upon returning to Iceland, she married the poet Hallgrímur Pétursson. The Hallgrímskirkja Lutheran church in Reykjavík is named in his honour.

You've referenced Ben Hur a few times and illustrated your video with clips from both the silent and 1959 film versions. Both the novel and films were riddled with historical inaccuracies not the least of which was the use of galley slaves in the Roman navy. Rowers, like sailors and marines, were enlisted as auxiliary troops. They were paid (we have surviving papyrus pay records) and pensioned off at the end of their enlistment (we have diplomas which included a grant of Roman citizenship). In his Commentary on the Gallic Wars, Julius Caesar complimented the rowers of the galleys that transported his army to Britain. There are accounts of Marcus Agrippa constructing benches for training rowers before the battle of Salamis which implies that rowing ancient galleys required more skill than the galleys of the late middle ages and Renaissance. During times of crisis, slaves were sometimes recruited with the pay and the promise of freedom and citizenship at the end of their service but that was also true of slaves and gladiators recruited into the Roman army. Long story short: no galley slaves in the Roman Navy.

yea there's a tendency when discussing slavery to paint the most miserable and decrepit picture of the situation, but the reality is a tired, malnourished, sick rower doesnt really work very well as a longterm strategy within the context of military operations. it's sorta like animal keeping today. if you want a horse to draw your carriage, you dont beat it half to death, stop giving it water, and let it lie in it's own sick. while these things did happen, they were extremely rare, and it was by no means the norm. ppl forget just how valuable slaves were. the vast majority of slaveholders had a vested monetary interest in keeping them healthy and alive for as long as possible. when a slave died, you lost not only a monetary asset but also a productive asset as well. in fact speaking specifically about roman slavery, we have many examples of free people selling themselves into slavery of their own volition. in many cases slavery was preferable to being a peasant.

Did you just say that the Barbary Corsairs didn’t raid England? Did I hear that correctly? If so, not only did they raid England, they raided the west and southwestern coast multiple times. It’s is said that they raided the west coast of England at will. August 1625 corsairs raided Mount’s Bay, Cornwall, capturing 60 men, women and children. In 1626 St Keverne was repeatedly attacked, and boats out of Looe, Penzance, Mousehole and other Cornish ports were boarded, their crews taken captive and the empty ships left to drift. It was feared that there were around 60 Barbary men-of-war prowling the Devon and Cornish coasts and attacks were now occurring almost daily. Sir John Eliot, Vice Admiral of Devon, declared that the seas around England “seem’d theirs.” The situation was so bad that in December 1640 a Committee for Algiers was set up by Parliament to oversee the ransoming of captives. At that time it was reported that there were some 3,000 to 5,000 English people in captivity in Algiers. Charities were also set up to help ransom the captives and local fishing communities clubbed together to raise money to liberate their own.

The Knights of Malta, Spanish, Portuguese, Venetian, and Papal navies were in the forefront in the fighting against the Ottomans and the Barbary pirates of North Africa. The Americans were late comers.

I don't know what they teach in IB since I'm going to study in Germany, but the school systems in Hong Kong can definitely be improved, sometimes it's not the student's fault.

The technology to sail against the wind certainly existed, going back to at least the 5th century. By the 15th century, you had the Arab dhow’s in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, similar ships in the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Portuguese caravel, all of which used lateen sails or similar, and could sail upwind. The galleys were warships, and since they could keep moving in calm air, could hunt down and ram & board sailing ships. The ships that the pirates preyed upon would have been vulnerable during periods of calm or light breezes, even though they could sail upwind.
