TOP Five AFRICAN TRIBES THAT WERE TAKEN DURING THE SLAVE TRADE

So, between the ages of 1525 and 1866 about 12.5 million Africans were taken as
slaves and were shipped to the new world. An average number of 10 million
Africans survived the terrifying middle passage, and some were taken to north
America, the Caribbean and south America.
After so many years of torture and pain ,those who survived ended up losing their
native names, culture, languages and traditions .so in the 19 th century many
return back to Africa movements started to help these Africans returned back to
their homelands in other to help them regain their culture ,language and
traditions back but unfortunately most of these movements failed because most
of these Africans couldn’t trace where they came from .
It has been 400 hundred years now and the movements of these Africans
returning back home keep rising every single day. in fact the opportunity for them
to return back home is one of the greatest opportunity that was taken away from
their forefathers but the most interesting question today is how do the Africans
today who are interested in returning back home find their true identity and
culture. How can they specifically even locate where their forefathers came from
and even if they do how do they find their tribe in Africa.
Chamba people
The chamba people are located in some parts of Nigeria and cameroun . They are an
African ethnic group found in the east-central Nigeria and the neighboring parts of
north Cameroon.They speak two related languages: Chamba Leko, and Chamba Daka, .
The truth is They were victims of the Fulanis Jihadi slavery in the 18th and 19ths
century and Things went really bad for them that they migrated into the mountains to
form rebelous groups just to attack the Fulani slave merchants.
Wolof people
They are found in Senegal and some parts of Mali. Their origin is widely debated
because no one can actually prove their actual origin in Africa. But many researchers
say they originated from the northern part of Africa and later migrated down to the
southern part of Africa. They founded their own empire, but tribal conflicts divided
them, and this made them vulnerable to slave hunters. Most of the Wolof people are
Muslims. They had a violent Jihad past which simply means they fought against other
non-Islamic tribes and that really exposed them to slavery either as slave merchants or
as victims.so some of the Wolof people were slave merchants whiles other were victims.
Abron people
They inhabited the border of Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Burkina Faso. They were at the
center of popular gold coast and because of that Most of the abron people were taken
and sold into slavery and were given a specific name in Jamaica called
“Koromantis”.Today most of the abron people are found in the AHAFO region of ghana
and if you are thinking of what an abron person looks like then im a prime example
because im half bono and half asante.my mum is bono and my dad is from the asante
tribe.
Fulani people
Fulanis are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. They are adventurous in
nature and present in East and West Africa. They can be found in Senegal and all the
way to Central African Republic. They also settled in places like, Niger, Mali, Nigeria,
Guinea and Cameroun. Their origin is highly debated, but their origin has been traced
to North Africa. They were somehow the original people in Northern Africa due to their
paintings in Nigeria which are dated to back to 6000BC North Africa. In fact, their
history is rich and full. The fulanis embraced Islam very early. They have many
prominent Jihadis who swept across Africa. Example is Usman Danfodio. Ironically, as
prominent as their shieks and Jihadis in slave trades, Fulanis were also victims of
Slavery themselves. It was recorded that they were hugely enslaved. Some of the most
popular slaves taken to new worlds are fulanis. Exampl, Umar Ibin-saeed,
Abdulrahaman and Dialo. Most were taken to America specifically.

    Hello family so I decided to share these tribes which I believe will be a good start for all our african diaspora brothers and sisters to find and connect to their original tribes when it comes to relocating to Africa. Researching more about these tribes can bring a connection between you and your tribe. if you have any questions kindly comment below and let me know Join our Facebook Africa travelers group on facebook.com/groups/1740600209548818 You can support this channel on patreon on www.patreon.com/danielboadu

My father’s grandmother had “nick names” for many of the family members. What I didn’t know is that these were not nick names, but Ewe Day Names, kente patterns sewing, and some family names past on from Ghana. I thank the Almighty everyday that some customs did survive even after slavery in my family.🙏🏾

    Brother, I love your content and I love the way you're attempting to bridge the gap between diasporic African descendants throughout the Americas and Africans on the continent especially throughout Western and Central Africa which is where most of their ancestors are from. That said, I find it interesting that you didn't mention the Yoruba peoples of what is now Nigeria and Benin. A significant number of Yorubas were sold, enslaved and, exported to Brasil, various the Caribbean and Central American nations as well as the Southern parts of the US. Unlike most of the other groups sold into slavery, the Yoruba also has the largest remaining cultural influences expressing itself via spiritual beliefs like Candomble, Santaria, Ketu, and a few more where these people openly worship Obatala, Sango, Yemoja, and other Orisas along with their Christian beliefs. Given these deep cultural ties, I would think my other people would have been one of the larger groups sold into slavery. Do you have any numbers for the Yorubas as a whole? Like the Fulani, we, via the Oyo empire, also sold many of our own into slavery and that history saddens me, to say the least.

    Hey my brother I've been watching your channel for a while now but have not subscribe. By doing this video I appreciate it and I am definitely subscribing now. Thanks for the video. I am living in Toronto Canada for the past thirty years but I am originally from Grenada. Grenada is a small island in the Caribbean known as the isle of spice. It is a 133sm with a population of about 115k. I am a descendant of African that was taken by the British and sent to the Caribbean as slaves. I grew up surrounded by Yoruba culture. Yoruba spirituality for that matter. Although most people on the island practice Christianity, when the time of year comes to do your devotion to the ancestral deities you perform your rituals. For me in particular, five years ago I walked away from Christianity and fully embrace orisha. Orisha is the ancient Yoruba spirituality. The islands of Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Cuba and Brazil have a strong Yoruba cultural presence. In Grenada it is believed that Yorubas of Nigerian, akan people of gold coast, temmna people of Sierra Leone and a few other ethnic groups were settled there. One cannot be certain because records were not kept. Going by traditions that have been passed down one can conclude. I know my ancestors are calling me back home, I feel it each and every day. I plan on making my way to Yoruba land Nigeria, Osun State to be precise, as soon as this pandemic will allow me to travel.

    Hey bro, great video. I have always felt a connection to the igbo people. Because their culture seem familiar to the people of Hampton Roads and Tidewater area where I am from. I later learned that the state of Virginia was nickname , "Igboland, USA". Because of the high number of Igbo people brought there. A cool fact. They build an Igbo village in the Tidewater area some years back to honor Virginia's Igbo heritage. Now every year Igbos of Nigerian immigrants have a festival there with African American that trace there ancestry to the Igbo tribe. But strangely enough. Most DNA test rate me mostly of the Yoruba tribe. But on taking the African Ancestry test. I learned that I am also of Kru ancestry on my father's side and Tikar on my mother's side. Thanks

    Our ancestors were Enslaved Afrikans and not slaves. It was not a trade because there was no even exchange. It was an act of human trafficking. It is called the Maafa and not the Transatlantic slave trade nor was it the Middle Passage. We define for ourselves our situation and never use the lexicon of our tormentors. The Afrikan Ancestry DNA test will provide use with the connections to tribes. Thanks for the powerful information.

    Thanks for this video. One thing i tried telling our brothers and sisters coming back to the homeland is: 1. West Africa had no borders so is hard to pin point a country where one comes from through DNA. An example of one tribe stretching from Nigeria to Ghana and the only difference is a little change in the language or dialect. 2. It use to be KINGDOMS sometimes with walls and people will rebel, break out to form their own Kingdoms which resulted to wars and scattered us further.
