@Scarface or you were wrong. They were a commodity. A factory tool you dont hate that. You love it and buy it if you're that addicted to money. Now if you are the product You're naturally going to rebel. Thats a decline in money. Then there would be random murders and escapes naturally seeking freedom as they were misclassified as an object. That pissed off slave owners. In the south the vast majority of slave owners were obviously white individuals But there were some black edgelords and that might have been a sex thing idk Im just saying Anyhow the civil war that the south will say was for the economy. Everyone forgets when hearing that argument slaves drove said economy. As a person whose family and their families families and everything in the area relied on slavery they became resentful. Blacks being free became less so but it wasnt like they were chill about it. They were focused on being free and shit. Well out of a job and generations of wealth tired of watching their old tractors doing better while they did worse socioeconomics Racism... Kkk etc. Black guys respond with black panthers white guys decide to just take the blow and give a nod to neo nazis which brought gangs like bloods and crips which brought cops and the war on crime That brought blm and now team white guys decided to look like they work at staples wearing jock straps on their heads. Which just happened in Philly. Some idiots dressed like staples employees with jockstraps on their face with plastic see through buckle shields took their dumb racist behinds to Philadelphia Also before that out of no where the totally chill ass white dudes decided that theyd join the Blm guys to show theyre not down with racism thus antifa shows up.

Part of the horror of the Congo free state is that Leopold II signed off on all the brutality, but he never actually saw any of it. To him it was just a spreadsheet he had to sign his name under and wait for the money that filled his coffers. He was far removed from the horrors his lieutenants and their collaborators inflicted on the populous for money. It wasn't even ideologically motivated as with Hitler's genocide. Leopold II just wanted to squeeze as much money as quickly as possible from his personal pet colony. It was disgustingly callous and shows how easy it was to dehumanise.

“The Americas” were both North and South America. Most slaves went to the Caribbean and South America then sold and wound up in North America. Not as many came directly from Africa to what is now USA because of distance and weather. Most were sold to enslavers from other countries. Had to learn English? You have a very broad, inaccurate view of slaves. They weren’t allowed to read or write and leaned broken English through being on the plantation. A select few, chosen by the slave master were given limited education so they could be sold at a higher price. As for the rest of assimilation… it was beaten into the slaves with violence and death.

As some one who is black and studied this, I just want to clarify something in this video. Africans are not a monolith, Africa is a continent. With that said the statement " Africans selling Africans" does not incompase what was actually happening. There are thousands of tribes in the continent of Africa as well as in individual countries in Africa. So it was more like example Maasai tribe would raid the Yoruba tribe and sell them, the conquered tribe into slavery. People in different tribes were and still are seen as other. But also keep in mind the attacking tribes didn't actually know the magnitude of what they were participating in, because it's not like they got a follow up. So just wanted to make that distinction.

And you seem to insinuate that they did not know what they were doing when selling thier own people to the white man but that's silly, when you raid another village and force people into chains, right there at that point its obvious their fate is nothing good so no, they are equally as guilty as the white people. I'm black african, from africa and I know first hand about tribalism and how evil it can get even without the influence of outsiders. There's just no excuse or anyway you can attempt to minimise it.

I am the proud son of two East African Somali immigrant parents both my father and my mother plus my paternal uncle which they all successfully immigrated to Australia in the mid 1990s escaping the Somali Civil War which devastated the country. My family and I still live there today. I love Australia because it is so peaceful and relaxing here plus I enjoy my life here in this incredible country.

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

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

Thank you Weird History for this video….painful but necessary.

What i find truly shocking is the attitude of today. i am confused as to why white people of today are expected to bear responsibility for this travesty which happened lifetimes ago. Black slavers sold slaves to white slavers so why is todays attitude about white people profiting from Black people. I have been in open arguments over this and been told i should be ashamed because im white and British. I am white and British but not English. My family are half Welsh and half Irish and both sides were severely persecuted by the English in my family history and just as horrific as slavery but that is not about colour so apparently doesn't count. No one is asking Italians to apologise for all the atrocities the romans committed. Imo everyone should learn from this but dont start witch hunts today over things that happened well before any of us were alive and especially dont make issues about colour.

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

Insanity. Those poor children...

What's sad is that most people who complain about slavery only focus on one people, without mentioning slavery has been going on since prerecorded history and is still going on today; like those other people get a 'pass' for some reason, because it doesn't cater to their own ideology. Some estimate that there are 10-40 million slaves in the world 'right now''. In some nations, trafficking of women is still 'legal'.
