you'd be surprised at how many people believe that slavery didn't exist before america
Demonetizing is demonizing. Same thing, and you are, sadly, correct. I'm fed up with the mental midgets in the world who point to the US as the source of all the worlds evil. Slavery goes further back than recorded history does. And every culture is an experiment in flux.
All the best to you.
You’d be surprised to know how many muslims deny the Arab slave trade Africans, Europeans and Asians and to the extent they did.
It's convenient to them to believe that.
Just saw some muppet the other day "teaching" how USA invented it
A professor at Penn state questioned his kids every year on their Knowledge of slavery for an american history course. He found that SEVENTY SIX percent of incoming 2018 students believed ONLY white people and america had slaves. Its done by design. You cant genocide a people without demonizing them first.
It’s very rare to see someone talk about slavery like this. A totally unbiased perspective with facts rather than opinions makes this so enjoyable to watch. I just learned 10 times more about the horror of slave trade than I did throughout the entirety of the education system.
Agreed this video was so in depth I’m fascinated. I learn more here than a year in history class
There is no such thing as an unbiased perspective. The information included and/or left out undoubtedly affects the conclusions someone would walk away from this video with. Even if when you are talking about facts, those facts are rarely completely subjective in history and thus you cannot be entirely objective. Apart from that, the video also makes historical claims of its own. Not making any judgements on the video, but just because it gives a narrative of Atlantic slavery different from the brief overview presented in schools doesn’t make it unbiased! Be a good consumer of historical knowledge!
@@latenightcake1147 if you watched this whole video you probably care about history. Everything I said will make you a better consumer of history. Chill out dude!
@@degustablegerbil XD
Just to provide some examples of what @DegustableGerbil is getting at:
Including 1:15 seemed pretty aggro against Abrahamic Religions there. Trying to disprove the book of Exodus is probably not something you leave as, effectively, a footnote on the end of a section.
EDIT: I keep receiving replies about only this example I would like to attempt to settle some themes I'm seeing in them. Feel free to skip this edit if you don't have any problems with what I said.
a. First off, I'm not in any way actually upset that they included this information. I was simply saying that potentially some Islamic, Christian, or Jewish viewers (of which I am none of the above) might find its inclusion unsavory.
b. I was also not, at all, talking about the trueness of the section. I was only talking about the benefits and drawbacks of its inclusion.
c. The point of this statement was to demonstrate bias. I think we can all agree that it would be understandable to infer that people with the power of deciding what does and doesn't go into this video likely doesn't belong to any of the religious mentioned in my earlier point. This example was to show bias in that the inclusion of this information is variable on their background.
His numbers for modern slavery (20:15) seemed a *little* bloated (I mean, arranged marriages do suck --> a lot
This is probably the best informed summary of slavery I have ever read or listened to. A properly global perspective, and very succinctly done.
I agree .
Then again: this is only an account of a small portion of slavery. Humans could have had slaves hundreds of thousands of years ago. We don't know that. The video also leaves out many parts of the world, like slavery in ancient China.
It misses a LOT and is still absurdly focused on Europe.
@milo8425 credit deserved though. Just the slavery covered in this video is a huge subject and would have required a huge amount of historical research
@@milo8425wish we could turn back time … to the good old days
Not to downplay American slavery at all, or slavery in general, but this just goes to show that slavery occurred almost everywhere in the world, and is still going on today. Yet I see so many people acting as if the American slave trade was some type of uniquely vile thing. Just opens up your perspective a little, which is always a good thing.
Because idiots want an excuse
A certain group of people like to think they were the only slaves and the world owes them an apology
This is so weird. Nobody is downplaying anyone’s slavery.Just because a group is outspoken that doesn’t mean they disregard others.What is with this weird obsession of getting Black Americans to ignore slavery. If others don’t feel the need that’s ok but why should another group be silent. If the Irish wanted to talk about what Britain did them everyday I wouldn’t mind.Same for Haiti,Yemen, and anyone else. Imagine being upset because people stand for something. I love my country but I won’t ignore it’s history.
As a haitian american.. i wont forget what my ancestors went through.. and what my people still fo through… and how dare you gaslight both current slaves and descendants of slaves with this comment.. as if current slavery or black slaves are in compétition with each other. No, we just wont forget when ppl (very unique and vile) plotted to make blacks slaves because they saw we had abundant healthy population that didnt die off when coming into contact with white devils, and were strong and could endure hard labor .. then after abolition of this slavery from various places, confusing ppl of where they come from , enslaving natives and indegenous too and killing them off, classifying the rest as negro… then have the nerve to segregate these disenfranchised ppl from equality and legally being able to kidnap rape murder and jail these ppl well into the 21st century… but we trippin when we call it out… just hold the L.. cause you brought this up.. trying to continue this « just forget it happen « rhetoric and agenda… you need to watch this video again and take note what he says toward the end of his lecture on the end of slavery in haiti and the u.s. And the lasting effects of it on generations afterwards
@@JakeFromKushFarmbet you believe all white people are to blame as well when many white people moved here long afterwards it was ended. Like my ancestors are polish and were slaves in Russia till they finally fled to the US
Thank you for covering modern slavery. It’s an absolute tragedy people will deny it and demonize slavery as something just one country did, and refuse to acknowledge that it continues to this day.
No one does this.
@@GabagoolEnjoyer863 some people do although rarely
the difference is the atlantic slave trade was heavily commercialized, more brutal and that form of chattel slavery's brutality and dehumanization wasn't seen in anywhere else prior
@@GabagoolEnjoyer863 iv seen many do this, and when you mention africas slavery today they go silent
@@vetabeta9890 That's because there are almost no records of prior times of slavery because the enlightnment era did not come to that time, nor paper or printing machines, so you can't really be totally confident on that statement, unless you only trust the bible and see how slaves were as badly treated in egypt in BC times
This should be taught in grade school, too many people are not aware of the real history of slavery. Brief but accurate and to the point.
also, should be taught that Juws were involved every step of the way

incredible accuracy, details and visuals. thank you!
A good introduction, well done, I kept thinking you should have added this or that important element. It is such a complicated history and not at all as portrayed by many.
I'm glad someone is pointing out modern slavery during one of these videos. The cold fact of there being more slaves than ever before is lost as we "abolished" slavery across the world. Even though something is illegal and frowned upon, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Thank you for being brave enough to point this fact out, as we believe we are more civilized than we actually are as a species. Slavery will never end, we can only hope to limit it as much as possible.
Only white people abolished slavery. And see how the puplic opinion thanks us for that
Thank you! Some people think that because this is the modern world we are a bunch of saints...
@@sandeegrey5977 or that we aren't violent animals simply because we can buy food at the grocery store
While there are more slaves now as an absolute number (which is still terrible), it is also important to note that the global population is dramatically higher. The percentage of people in forced labor/bondage is still low relative to most of human history.
There are more slaves because there are FAR more people in the world. As a percentage of the world's population, the number of slaves is much lower than in past centuries.
You briefly mentioned berber slave trade but a description of barbary wars would have been great too.
this is not about barbar slavery, its about history of slavery as a whole
Yeah, they even raided Iceland once
@@faysalals1 then india, china and russia are missing as well as most of the european slave trade. also, the slavery in (native) america is missing. they attempt to be quite neutral, i give them that. but the strong focus on europa, be it in the antike or in more modern times, does create the illusion that slavery mainly happened in european controlled areas when in reality, it was everywhere.
@@ShubhamMishrabro I agree that it should have been briefly mentioned, but remember that most of the trade stopped before the US intervened, so the impact is shared really. And even if after that the slave trade will be ridiculously small, it's only after France invaded Algeria that it was entirely stopped.
@@TheLoki7281 Not true, they did mention it in detail, watch the video again
Great video. I usually check out on videos like this, but it held my attention for the entire time.
Focused way too much on the european slave trade neglecting other slave trades, though still a gem of a video
true feels like it was all eu for all those years an other places nothing happend which clearly didnt
People love to blame whites for everything when in reality we advanced the world beyond mud huts and cannibalism.
Thank you so much for this. I teach Middle School American History and this video is an absolute blessing for covering the background of slavery outside of our borders.
Hope you teach real history and not the revisionist history of the radical left.
Something You don't teach I'm sure
(Not accurate) It is well documented in the Quran 1400 years ago that Muslims are FORBIDDEN to buy ANY slave regardless of religion or ethnic background.
If you teach, teach that it happened all over the globe and throughout history. In other words, point out what this video left out.
Let’s clear up some things about słavery, yes the post is long but for this subject it’s short. Słavery across the globe and throughout time wasn’t because someone had a certain skín color and if those people weren’t there słavery wouldn’t exist.
Many people seemingly only want to díscuss North America or put more an emphasis on it saying it was far worse than anywhere else. So let’s clear up some things. we often hear people say 400 years but actually Błack people didn’t become the majority of słaves in Notth America till the mid 1700s. Which lasted until 1865, just over 100 years. Still horrific, still clearly an injustice and críme against humanity but certainly not an isolated event. Before that the majority of słaves in Ameríca were the índigenous tríbes/First Nations people. In fact 400 years really doesn’t even scratch the surface, słavery existed for tens of thousands of years, if not hundreds of thousands. Słaves and índentured servànts were used for labor and/or s3x.
Here is the thing about mísconceptions regarding índentured servantš, índentured servànts weren’t always treated better, nor did they always agree to be índentured servànts (that’s right there were iídentured servànts that were forced into servítude, just like słaves). Sometimes they would sell the contract of the índentured servànt to someone else without their consent, thereby extending the contract (so 20 years could become 40). Another thing they would do is førce the wømen to get pregnant, which would also extend their contracts and keep them pregnant till old age (by then owing more years, than they had years of life left and I’ll let you figure out how they førced them to get pregnant). Also, not only were their wíves rap3d but at times their chíldren taken and sold.
How about słavery, so many people make arguments it was only horrifíc in Ameríca and that it wasn’t that bad here or there but is that true? Słavery as already mentioned existed for thousands and thousands of years, all across the globe. Chattel słavery did in fact also exist in Afríca and it wasn’t a kinder gentler form of słavery; unless you consider mass human sacrifíce and canníbalísm kinder and gentler. Słavery existed in Afríca well before Eurøpeans showed up and Afrícan rulers fought the Eurøpeans in order to keep it going. In the Middle East the słave market was huge, the słaves brought in were often castràted (so no, that wasn’t a kinder gentler form either). Słavery existed in Asia and Asía is still infamous for having sweatshops. The Vikíngs often raided Eurøpe and took słaves back with them. The wømen they took served the Viking men, both work and s3x. When the słave øwner díed, the wøman he had as a słave would often be gàng ràpéd by the men in the village and kīlled to serve the owner in the afterlife. Ancient Romans brutałły ensłaved other Europeans and people around the Mediterranean. In the Amerícas the Natíves enslaved others Natíves and also had human sacrifíce. The point is słavery was and is horrifíc, all over the world it’s horrifíc and has been for a very very long time (that’s not minimizing it for one group to say that, in fact it’s minimizing everywhere else to not recognize it was horrific all over).
How about chattel slavery? Here is the thing, you can’t ensłave descendànts if there aren’t any. The Barbary słaves often had a much shorter lífe span and had no hope of procreatíon. Many díed chaíned in the ínterior of the ship sitting in their own excrèment covered in open wøunds or díed chaíned to a sínking ship that lost a battle. There was no fèmale companíonship, no livíng to an old age, no sunshíne, no høpe … Just the incredibly harsh realitíes of the shíp for the rest of their short míserable líves. In the Middle East the vast majoríty of słaves were castratèd and agian never had the opportuníty to reprøduce. Many of which didn’t even survíve being castrated. Does anyone really think that’s any “better”? Also, this idea many people have that chíldren of słaves were born free across the globe or słaves weren’t sold as property (except in Ameríca) is absurd.
When people say that in North Ameríca it was wørse or Eurøpeans have the most to be błamed for (which is said a lot lately), that isn’t intellectually honest and is blatantly ígnoring the atrocitíes commítted around the globe. When people blame only group over everyone else, it is in fact minimizing the atrocitíes everywhere else, and those people are doing precisely what they blame others for doing (i.e., “minimizíng” the atrocitíes of słavery around the world).
If you`re a History teacher I would have thought you would know all this already?...Shows how useless schools are nowadays.
What this tells me is that almost every major civilization practiced slavery
what it tells me is that people in the US are trying to make themself look less guilty for their crimes by pointing at others. regarding slavery their past happens to be way worse then of all other modern nations combined, but that video just ignores that
@@donalain69 after everyone made themselves look less guilty by pointing at the US. hypocrites
@@donalain69 i think you would have a hard time proving the usa was that much worse then what then was the "status quo"
@@TobiasRieperGood that was the price of abolishing conventional slavery, cant have a society when the basic jobs arent fulfilled
@@donalain69 thats nonsense. If anything the video downplays the severity of the arab/north african trade, as well as the scale. They also leave out that it was mostly jewish traders organizing the atlantic trade, and africans doing the capturing of their own.
So rare to find a video that actually portraits reality without a political agenda, thank you Geo History. We still have letters conserved to this between the King of Kongo and Portugal, stating a good relationship between them and his son went to study in Portugal and became a Bishop. Yet some people, mostly Americans, say that the white European started slavery in Africa. We did not start it, we started business with African slavers.
Pretty good but you skipped over a lots of stuff that is not European. Slavery in the Turkey, Saudi Arabia ended in the 1960's. You skipped over slavery in India, hardly mentioned the slavery in Central Asia. Not even mentioned slavery in pre-Columbian Americas.
Yes, and among some African tribes themselves
It would have been helpful if pre-Columbian slavery in the Americas was addressed, as well as sub-Saharan African slavery, which existed before the Arab slave traders arrived in that region of the world. Also, a look into slavery in East and Southeast Asia from the last few thousands years would also help to show the ubiquitous nature of slavery.
sub-Alp Europeans created 2 world wars causing the world destruction
That would mean implying that blacks and natives had slaves which is NOT allowed. They are two of the most protected classes of people in the world.
The video did mention that the trade routes already existed before the Arabs arrived.
It's not about slavery but the global trade of it. Took me a second to adjust my expectations too.
For some reason, they only include slaves that were used for work and not the ones used for ritualistic sacrifice.
Man... I was feeling so confident for humanity as major countries started to outlaw slavery one-by-one, only to have the video end with by mentioning that there are now more slaves on earth than at any previous moment. Really puts things in perspective. Humanity can be so incredibly cruel.
By absolute numbers, yes. Percentage-wise, it's less than 1% of the global population. Either way, it remains an abomination and a stain on the human spirit that needs to be wiped as soon as possible.
At the same time, do realise that without all these actions the number of slaves in the world would easily surpass 1 billion, possibly going so high as 3 billion.
For example in Imperial rome, 30-50% of the inhabitants of italy were slaves.
The absolute number is at a peak, because the world population increased 8 times. But the proportion of slaves in the world population as dived, even if we still have progress to do.
You don't understand how empty the Earth used to be. Only reached 1 billion in 1804, 2 billion in 1927, and 3 billion in the 60's.
The western major nations you mentioned have been responsible for like 90% of all slavery in the past 500 years. Humanity is mostly fine, it's your ability to do something bad and blame the humans you do it to that's the problem.
Slavery is something much like war and rape
We will never get rid of. But we have immensely decreased it. Its as old as humanity. People have been enslaving defeated opponents or innocent people for thousands and thousands of years. In my country in congo we have many work slaves sadly
Incredibly interesting and good perspective. I'm passing this on to others.
I love how you made the frontiers change while the years pass. Those frontier changes were so pleasant to see!
As an unapologetic map nerd, I concur.
I was paying attention to the ships making their ( feeding ) patterns, like Carnivorous Bugs devouring lives.
in gulf state .. there's a disguised law for slavery called the sponsorship (Kafala) laws ... they offer several legalized slaves to every rich man (Kafeel=sponsor) .. he could do whatever he want to them even making them work again for others & get what they gain ... with the least & worst living & working conditions (they literally buying glucose powder to survive rather than eating food)
When ''Suriname,, is done,..with the Netherlands,..with complaining,..about slavery and waiting for an apology,..speech ect ect,..
and BEGGING money.,..costs NL billions and,...150 years ago they ALSO GO ALONG..???????????????????? AT,.........these countries ?????
or will they be kicked out

I noticed that the Louisiana Purchase was omitted - this video says it was Spanish territory in the early 1800's.
Seriously, I appreciate the accuracy of the video. The attention to detail is very good. For instance, the map is updated to reflect Louis XIV's expansion into the Low Countries; Avignon is shown as a papal enclave in pre-Revolutionary France; the British Union of 1707 is shown; the Mosquito Coast settlements are represented, etc.
That impressed me very much, too.
It made way to many mistakes and falsehoods. Louisiana was bought by USA 15 million.
I noticed that too. Rarely does one see that degree of accuracy in a youtube video.
Excellent.
It totally misses the Asian and South American and African internal slavery.
This blew my mind. Thank you for sharing.
There is a dangerously fine line between imagined history and actual history. Unfortunately, the former is becoming so entrenched in the UK these days that it’s creating a highly politicised narrative of self hate - and slavery is at its core. Thank you for addressing the issue in an open, neutral and big picture context. Highly valuable.
If anything people should be proud of their ancestors that decided to end it. Unfortunately slavery was always the norm
"Hey you commoner a part of the middle or lower class.. Slavery! Yea.. Feel bad even though "your" empire was dominated by a clique of rich and powerful people who did all of that with or without your consent or that of your ancestors. Give me money!"
@@rixillelmao
@@maxtest they abolished it due to it competing with the proletariat that worked factories/artisans that provided goods/services that slaves undermined.
I argue that slavery used for profit or nefarious means is inhumane. While slavery can be a charitable. While slavery has it's ugly side. You cannot just give handouts to people in need. Or everyone in need. Owning a slave is not exactly cheap either. But humans are not the only ones that practice slavery. But we can have a more refined version of it.@@maxtest
And you would think “slavery” only ends in the history books!!!!!
Thank you for such an informative documentary.
Mauritania made slavery a criminal offense as late as 2007.
Before that it was just prohibited by law without any consequence.
Horn of Africa as well they used to trade slaves from south east Africa
Doesnt end even today between arabs and china, they still keep slavery o going
I mean the sex slave trade exists in America... But since you can't talk about the southern border without being labeled racist... We don't bring any attention to it
Cant believe my eyes when this is a video not just shorts. Luv ur videos so much. Huge fan!
Pretty good video. To cover the subject thoroughly, it would probably take hours of video or a whole series of thick books.
Fails to mention that the islamic world has been not only the biggest user of slavery, its most brutal enforcer (castration, massacres) and is still using it today, both sexual and for work.
That's the most important information about slavery.
The slavs suffered worse slavery historic events then what was depicted in this break down but still A+. I learned more in 10 mins then I did in my entire life in school about this topic.
They were so often enslaved that the word Slav came to be synonymous with the practice. That's the origin of the modern word slave.
The term slave is derived from the Slavic people

Specifically, early on Christians didn't enslave other Christians so pagan Slavs and Balts were fair game.... Until they baptized. Later, kripatstvo was effectively a chattel slavery. You literally couldn't change the master and your kids would be enslaved for generations.
They traded "souls" in russian empire. Hence Gogol's "Dead Souls" about money laundering on slaves existing only on paper.
Most famous Ukrainian poet, Tara's Shevchenko, was born a slave and later became a freeman because he was literally bought by patrons who liked his paintings.
Cossack meant a free person, a lot of them were runaway slaves. Soviet collectivisation and persecution
effectively re-enslaved people into kolkhozes, even before Gulag system. You had no passport or rights, my grandma was property of the state... in 50s. She just died this year in Ukraine.
Read some books.
It should be mentioned that the Mamluks did also secure a lot of their mamluks from Central Asia. The ruling classes were either Turkic (Bahri) or Circassian (Burji) depending on the era

Great video! Really well done. I would have liked to have seen a little more history in Asia before the 20th century but still a lot of ground covered!
This needs to be educated more in school. Such an important topic in human history.
Yes Hammurabi a Mesopotamian king started slavery
@@daviroza4700he didn't started it. His code is the first preserved to our knowledge and that's the reason it is the first to have laws on slavery, because we don't have previous written laws.
But archeology shows that most probably there were slaves before, as soon as there was the possibility of using slaves to create "surplus".
For the hunter gatherers it doesn't make sense to have another mouth to feed
Best synopsis of slavery and its prohibition that I have ever seen ! In such a short piece there were omissions and mistakes but it was still the best and should be made obligatory viewing for all. Thanks.
Gotta respect a channel like this! More details the better
Love this format!

It's false though
@@curtisthomas2670Explain? 🙄 it’s so easy to just say it’s false…..
@@Liam-2345 There are two ways to define the "size" of slavery. That would be "amount of people enslaved" and "institutional incentive and acceptance of slavery worldwide". The video uses the first definition, whilst @curtisthomas2670 uses the second definition.

@@panzerofthelake506 Mankind is still in the slavery:
you are a salve too, to this very day, why do you sound of not know?
in childhood you attend to school, where you shall spend up to 8h of your life.
Soon you`re adult, serving BAAL from 9 - 5.
And you`re home in your tiny box,
consuming all these items the prison for your mind produce.
Now tell me dear soul, ain`t that also being a slave? cause to my eyes, still unnoticed, where`s the life worthy to be living?
The signs and symbols rule the world, yet we complain about the laws.
We reject all the opportunity to seek out the truth, to break free from being in the hated slavery.
We cry about the past, not getting it that its the present in which we live in.
Now, can`t you still not agree, we to be a perfectly obeying BAAL in our daily slavery.
Mankind`s destiny is lake of fire if we don´t come to repentance and born again.
Mankind wants freedom, then step out from BABYLON, repent form your sins and born again.

Fascinating stuff. A lot of this I had no idea. Excellent work.
amazing to see that 300,000 Africans were brought to Brazil before one slave landed in what was to become the continental US. Of the 10,000,000 plus that made it to the Americas less than 400,000 were enslaved in the colonies or the states. Doing the 5th grade arithmetic that is less than 4%.

The voice-over is ARTIFICIAL. It's NOT a real human being. Just saying.
The video left out a lot, a real lot. Basically the whole world had słavery for tens of thousands of years, if not hundreds of thousands.
Let’s clear up some misconceptions too many people believe:
Słavery wasn’t because someone has a certain skín color and if those people weren’t there słavery wouldn’t exist. Błack people didn’t become the majority of słaves in Notth America till the mid 1700s. Which lasted until 1865, just over 100 years. Before that the majority of słaves were the índigenous tríbes/First Nations people. Let’s clear some things up about słavery, słavery existed for tens of thousands of years, if not hundreds of thousands. Słaves and índentured servànts were used for labor and/or s3x.
Here is the thing, índentured servànts weren’t always treated better, nor did they always agree to be índentured servànts (that’s right there were iídentured servànts that were forced into servítude, just like słaves). Sometimes they would sell the contract of the índentured servànt to someone else without their consent, thereby extending the contract (so 20 years could become 40). Another thing they would do is førce the wømen to get pregnant, which would also extend their contracts and keep them pregnant till old age (by then owing more years, than they had years of life left and I’ll let you figure out how they førced them to get pregnant).
How about słavery? Słavery as already mentioned existed for thousands and thousands of years, all across the globe. Chattel słavery did in fact also exist in Afríca and it wasn’t a kinder gentler form of słavery; unless you consider mass human sacrifíce and canníbalísm kinder and gentler. It existed in Afríca well before Eurøpeans showed up and Afrícan rulers fought the Eurøpeans in order to keep it going. In the Middle East the słave market was huge, the słaves brought in were often castràted (so no, that wasn’t a kinder gentler form either). It existed in Asia as well, where even today sweatshops still exist. The Vikíngs often raided Eurøpe and took słaves back with them. The wømen they took served the Viking men, both work and s3x. When the słave øwner díed, the wøman he had as a słave would often be gàng ràpéd by the men in the village and kīlled to serve the owner in the afterlife. Słavery was and is horrifíc, all over the world it’s horrifíc.
How about chattel slavery? Here is the thing, you can’t ensłave descendànts if there aren’t any. The Barbary słaves often had a much shorter lífe span and had no hope of procreatíon. They díed chaíned in the ínterior of the ship sitting in their own excrèment covered in open wøunds or díed chaíned to a sínking ship that lost a battle. There was no fèmale companíonship, no livíng to an old age, no sunshíne, no høpe … Just the incredibly harsh realitíes of the shíp for the rest of their short míserable líves. In the Middle East the vast majoríty of słaves were castratèd and agian never had the opportuníty to reprøduce. Many of which didn’t even survíve being castrated. Does anyone really think that’s any “better”? Also, this idea that chíldren of słaves were born free across the globe or słaves weren’t sold as property (except in Ameríca) is absurd.
To say in North Ameríca it was wørse or Eurøpeans have the most to be błamed for, isn’t intellectually honest and is blatantly ígnoring the atrocitíes commítted around the globe.
@@cjay2 i’m pretty sure it is a real person. He just has a somewhat monotone voice
That was fascinating. Thank you.
This had me thinking about the different types of labor that slaver were subjected to and how it affects the populations today, and how we observe slavery different. For example most of America thinks of slavery as "picking cotton/farming", but it was very different all around the world.
As a Nubian from Northern Sudan, thanks for pointing out the baqt conditions, failure to meet the required number of slaves is what brought down Makuria.
Are you a Muslim? And how do you feel about the arabisation/Islamisation of your country?
I was curious about how the people who would be sent as slaves were obtained/selected?
@@mugikuyu9403
(Are you a Muslim? And how do you feel about the arabisation/Islamisation of your country?)
Northern Sudan is a natural mix between Arab immigrants and the natives, for centuries, besides, with the "Arabisation", they learned the Lingua Franca of the old world, and with "Islamisation", they saved themselves from moral degradation, human sacrifices, tribal class categorizaton, and even from slavery by their own people, not to mention that they (unlike other Africans) always get easy profitable jobs in other Arab countries, because they know the language, the culture, and because Arabs see each one of them and treats them like one of their own.
Look how NON Arabised, NON Islamised Southern Sudan are living now, despite their huge natural resources.. oh, by the way, how do you feel about the ENGLIZINATION and Christianization of Southern Sudan?
Why English is THE Official country language there?, are there large English immigrants-settlements there?, and what happened to the original authentic African tribal religious believes there?
And, how you feel about the Black slaves being enslaved by BLACK EMPERORS, KINGS, PRINCES, and then sold to Arabs, Berber, Europeans, and even the other Black empires for centuries?.
Also, how you feel about the imperialistic Ethiopian invasion and colonization of the South Western Arabia, murdering countless number of people, and stealing recourse, for centuries?.

Great presentation overall but I wish there was as much detail on slavery before 1600 as after. Slavery still continues in many forms.
As a black American, this video helped me escape the matrix and stop being so touchy about this topic. Popular culture makes it seem like our people are the ones ones that had to go through it, when that's not true at all. I am now much less vulnerable to the antics of the left when it comes to things like this, thank you.

In fact english word "slave" actually comes from Slav - eastern european pagan people who were often enslaved by both christians from Europe and Muslims from Asia 1000+ years ago
You’re right we don’t have to remain victims. The key point I will make is there is that the color of your skin makes you identifiable. Whereas other ppl can easily assimilate and don’t have a stigma. Look up black ppl in India Iraq, and other Arab countries. They are still very much treated like slaves. Can you go to Norway and pick out a former Irish slave? How would Jim Crow be enforced without easy identification. Even Jewish ppl had to carry passes to be identified and many escaped the holocaust by just changing their names. If the holocaust was again black ppl, how many of your family members would escape?
I agree we should be victims but there are some differences I could elaborate on that weren’t in this video. In other worlds the Irish, Italians, Jewish and Germans can somewhat assimilate literally unrecognizable in a general once their accents changed.

Thank you for providing this information. It is possible to cite some of your sources for additional research? I bet it took a long time to research this comprehensive video so I think it would be valuable to show the amount of work it takes. In addition it would allow views to indulge in additional sources if they wish. Lastly, it would strengthen the validity of the video, which is always great thing to have. Again thank you.
The only omission I see is that there is no mention of the efforts of the American and Royal Navy squadrons to interdict the slave trade.
They never will.
This was well done. We don't need to be talked down to like little children the bare facts say so much more. Horrific that this not only still happens but is getting worse.
This TH-camr not only biased by downplaying the bloody slavery in US, but also mixed up different concepts of slavery, like forced slavery and debt or contracted bases "slavery".
China ended its slavery around 220 BC, the periods of slavery after that were periods ruled by normades from the North, like Mongles in Yuan and Manchu in Qing dynesty, and Chinese, mostly Han were the slaves.
The history should be based on facts not lies! So called Xinjiang forced labour, is not only the mass projection of US on to China, a shameless lie, basically a WMD and Nayirah incubator story 2.0, also a mentally retarded one that can be debunked by common logical sense.

Thank you for an informative video on such a topic! Looked at a new angle at labor relations. Astonishing that slavery is thousands of years old, and is still present in modern world.
Nice presentation, thank you. A couple of pieces missing, in my view:-
1) Serfdom (and it's equivalents, 'untouchables' etc) which is a form of slavery
2) Internal slavery - espcially china and within africa. (Uigars excepted). Slave 'culturally external trade' is covered but not 'within cultures'.
Excellent short video documentary, hopefully it makes people think more about the problem even today.
This is also missing the enslavement of native Americans by other native Americans, China having the largest slavery market in history, etc
It also ignore the transpacific trade of asians to the america which happen before the trans atlantic slave trade and how they reclassified many of those people as native. Indian was used to describe many groups.

Excellent video. Thank you so much!
By the late 19th century, when much of Islamic Central Asia was conquered by the Russian Empire, the region was home to tens of thousands of slaves. Most of these slaves were Shiʿa Muslims from northern Iran, though the slave trade also ensnared many Russians, Armenians, Kalmyks, and others. Slave labor was especially commonplace in the Sunni Muslim domains of Khwarazm and Bukhara, where enslaved people constituted a substantial proportion of all agricultural workers, domestic servants, and soldiers. Slaves also labored in many other roles, and an individual slave could be tasked with a variety of jobs. Slaves served, for example, as concubines, craftsmen, miners, herdsmen, entertainers, blacksmiths, calligraphers, and even, in rare instances, as government officials.
Before the 16th century, the majority of the slaves in Central Asia-defined here as the region extending from the eastern shores of the Caspian Sea through Xinjiang, China, and from southern Siberia to northern Iran-seem to have been trafficked to the region from India. This changed in the 16th and 17th centuries, as a significant number of Iranian war-captives were brought north and enslaved during the course of numerous armed conflicts between the Central Asian Uzbeks and Iranian Safavids. Many of these slaves evidently labored on the region’s rapidly expanding agricultural estates.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, frequent Turkmen raids into northern Iran resulted in tens of thousands of Iranian Shiʿas being captured and funneled into a booming slave trade in Khwarazm and Bukhara. Further north, a much smaller number of Russians were seized and sold into slavery by Kazakh nomads along the steppe frontier.

@@pressftopayrespects6325 are you sure you read the same passage? Husnu Coban is talking about the great steppe raiders and their slaving expeditions, which didn't have anything to do with European settler-colonialism. The Russians are guilty of many things but being raided is hardly one of them; they had lived under the Tartar yoke since the Mongols struck west and formed just one source of slaves for the steppe nomads. Kalmyks, Armenians, Iranians, Indians and Chinese slaves were not even European ._.
From how it was taught to me, yes there was slavery in the old days, maybe even since the beginning of mankind. Although there have been examples of tribes found with no weapons like the Indus Valley civilization, which indicate a peaceful community. The concept of linking slavery to a skin colour is a modern European concept. Backed by the Catholic church. Before that slavery was a form of punishment given to all that broke the law of that time.

Great video, I do think there was a missed opportunity to discuss how the slave trade actually shaped African kingdoms though. Kongo for example became incredibly rich off of the trade and their entire society warped to support it. When the abolitions happened they basically collapsed as a result.

Caucasians trying to change the course of their animalistic and psychopatic behaviour.. too late.. the world just waitng for u to collapse, and u dont wanna to see outcome.. forget about Africa, u know what you did to Indians in America, Indians of India, Jews, Japanese, Chinese, Aboriginals in Australia, Palestinians? it will come out soon. U destroy anything u see on your way to hell. Trust me Jewish did not forget!
The focus on the trans Atlantic slavery is strange knowing that slavery is much bigger story in human history , for example the cast system and the Paria etc etc etc
kraut is such a chad
Amazed to see someone explain about slavery beyond the 1800s
The term slave and slavery is now gone, but the practice still exists, just with different names
Sorry But NO Slavery is Not Gone !
@@kellydardeen6308 exactly
in gulf state .. there's a disguised law for slavery called the sponsorship (Kafala) laws ... they offer several legalized slaves to every rich man (Kafeel=sponsor) .. he could do whatever he want to them even making them work again for others & get what they gain ... with the least & worst living & working conditions (they literally buying glucose powder to survive rather than eating food)
i love the topic of this video. we need it to be legal again
Great video! You missed Dutch Brasil though. Pretty important as it’s the start of serious Dutch involvement in slave trade.
I’ll use this in my coming exam about the Neolithic era and the classical era. Super nice video, good presentation and topics being on points. Love to see it 💪
Except that aside about the Israelites in Egypt. That really is just the opinion of Egyptologists and secular Jews who have stopped “digging” for an answer to the question.
One of the most interesting slavery documentaries I have seen. Totally unbiased and sticking to facts rather than the most recent history on slaves which tends to be the more generic focus on the subject. Super interesting as well with linking the year counter at the top.
The sad thing is that i actually gets biased by the end, "forgot" to talk about the thousands of forced workers in the US jails :(
Unbiased how? the byzantine slave trade was extensive and is entirely omitted, not to mention the difference in legal rights and treatments slaves had between the west and the east. Only someone unfamiliar with nuances would think this is a fair unbiased representation. The Mamluks for example were literally slaves and they had the biggest dynasty, similarly the so called slave bodyguards were basically the praetorian guard and they had a similar role in the downfall, meanwhile this doofus makes it all about spreading religion.
@@rhetoric5173 this is a 20 minute overview on the subject on youtube not a phd. I am sure there are many other omitted slave eras and cultures, but I enjoyed it and thought it was well put together and useful. My biased comment relates to the transatlantic slave trade which is where most slavery discussions get stuck.
@@basilmagnanimous7011 actually selling its own humans is unprofitable for an economy, only works of those people are sold at a high markup, which due to unequal treaties the europeans used, it wasn't. That's why this countries ravaged its neighbours for prisoners to sell, which in turn diminished the economic potential of all the region and only increasing a bunch of pockets.
The video falls apart at the end. "Forced marriage" is a rebrand of "arranged marriage" which is not the same as slavery and affects both sexes. In its earnestness to meet feminist victim quotas, it also ignores the millions of people (men and boys) kidnapped into serving as soldiers. It ingnores millions of men kept in Arab countries as construction workers. Pandering to female victim feelings and creating yet another fake stat for feminists to hang female victim culture upon.
excellent high level historical review for better context. Case in point as to how a criminal evil can get established, worsen and spread, and become deeply economically, socially, and politically ingrained. An yet it was stopped because of the courage of those who were repelled by the cruelties and similarly for those who spoke up and put a stop to animal cruelties that were part of the fabric of those hideous days dominated by ignorance, vulgarity, and disregard.
Many do often forget or are ignorant to the fact that slavery is older than civilized government. This is an important video.
Great video, but I wish that some of the famous slave uprisings had more time given to them. Some of them weren't even mentioned, like the Spartacus uprising. I especially love this one because of the TV show and it's astonishing how many of its crazy parts that seem like fiction are said to be true.
most of them weren't mentioned, it's fair to say
Very informative. It's rare to see a historical account of slavery that isn't pushing a political agenda. Very well put together and presented. Everyone should watch this.
sadly i think he is, at the beginning he says theres no evidence for the hebrew slaves or the exodus, however we found the chariots and horses right there at the bottom of the sea, where we expected them to be. Christian or not, you cant just ignore 1000's of pieces of evidence all in one place.
but it is cause it doesnt talk about slavery in Africa before the arabs arrive, and doesnt mention slavery in Asia until the modern times
Durban pact 2001 UN , excuses and repair/payments demanded for trans-Atlantic slavery.
The political agenda of human rights? What's wrong with that political agenda?
@@Bonhh Yes, the bottom-of-the-sea horses. Staggeringly convincing. Your silly reference to non-archaelogy doesn't actually prove biblical fiction.
TFW it’s 1970 and the video is still not over for two more minutes.
This video is entirely Eurocentric and ignores slavery that existed in subsaharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and East Asia for over a thousand years
Kinda hard considering there are not many records that survived, if they ever existed, about the topic
Valid point, much of human history is not documented, rest assured that slavery is as old as the "oldest profession"
Without written records, it’s hard to discuss extinct cultures
Extremely informative and very, very depressing. Thank you for making this.
Especially when you realize that theirs more slaves alive now than ever in history and that's not even including most of the prison labor systems in the western nations because they don't fit certain criteria.

Deep... so much said under 22 minutes. Great video!

I really love the fact that you included white slaves too. Youngsters often think all slaves were black, not knowing that it's originally Slavic people, where the word slave comes from. I would maybe add the serfs in Russia, since it's also a form of slavery, where serfs could only be bought if you buy a land. Also love the fact that you included political and economical slaves. Wouldn't it be marvelous if the woke culture would fight to free today slaves instead of fighting for pronounces.
Denis Domikulic Don't know about Russia, but in Britain, you had the choice to reject serfdom at the risk of being evicted from the owner's land. Not much of a choice I'll admit.
What do you recommend for further reading?
I'm glad he mentioned WW2. A lot of people have never heard of the Gulags in the Soviet Union.
The gulag archipelago is a depressing read
The gulags were simply the prison system of the USSR that were inherited from the Russian Empire. Conditions within the Gulags of the USSR have been compared to modern US prisons. Within them, the prisoners were given an 8 hour workday and a 5 day workweek, free healthcare, were paid for the labor, had a 5-10 year max on their sentencing that was shortened by a day every time you went over your quota, given an education, and since the gulags weren’t camps (more of a town with the main prison in the center), the average prisoner could leave whenever they wanted as long as they remained within the town’s boundary. The gulags, of course, were shut down in the 50s as reformative measures were more effective than the punitive ones used in the gulags. Deaths within the gulags were also very limited (with the vast majority taking place during WW2 due to shortages of supplies). Also the prison population was also smaller per capita and less numerous than the modern American one.

@@sebastianjoseph9628 18 million people went through the gulags and 1.6 million people died in them. That's 9% of all the people that went through them died. That my friend is not a prison but a slave camp. US prisons on the other hand have a mortality rate around 2-3%. So stop talking out of your ass and linking to reddit posts, the gulags were concentration camps and to compare them to US prisons is laughable and delusional.
@@sebastianjoseph9628 Oh, finally someone who knows actual history. Only one mark. People were not send to gulag, couse GULAG means General Camp Administration, which was part of justice ministry of USSR, which was administrating prison system.
@@Imaxxd22 yeah, I’m still learning about a lot of this stuff. I really like learning about history and the USSR is so full of complexities and I love it
Very informative. Only minus is the Far East (China, Japan, etc) being left out until the end of the video. Would have liked to know about the origin and development there as well.
In Medieval Japan, Korea, China, slavery was practiced where dominant members enslaved the less dominant. In Korea slavery was officially abolished in 1895, but persisted even up to 1930. Slavery was so beneficial financially and socially to the enslaver that it was hard to sever one's self from its personal benefits.
Simply the best and most effective way of teaching people about the history of slavery and its current status. There is nothing one can do to a person than robbing the person his or her dignity.

Sumerian CEO: Give this man a raise!
I was very surprised that no mention at all was made of Russian serfdom, which only ended in 1861. However, despite that omission, a fascinating video and very informative.
Well, they were different type, not real slaves taken by force from other contries in majority, "Крепостные" were peasants, but I do agree still like slaves even were sold to other rich bastards in the country.
One african slave were taken in war from Turkish who left the town, by Peter I and this slave Hannibal become a general and famous novelty man in Russia, he was grandfather of Pushkin, the Russian famous writer and called some times the first rapper for a joke ) So technically, even black man was able to be freed and become a part of elite in Russia.
I could miss some bits, Historians knew better about other nations in Russia who were enslaved due to wars and invasions, never heard about it.
@@discoboy8169 “not real slaves” them being taken from another country isn’t what makes them a slave. It’s being owned and not having autonomy.
@@bno6156 Precisely.
U can do a vid
There also needs to be a Part 2 where slavery, serfdom, and caste systems in Asia are examined.
Part 3 should focus on captivity and slavery in the Americas by cultures prior to contact with non-Americas cultures.
That would be quite enlightening to educate people about the real nature of forced, captive labor the world over, and the fact that it has existed for at least 7K years, sadly.
I wonder why the fuck they can't teach stuff like this at school. Only took 10 minutes, objective and relevant information, very easy to follow and remember. Teachers should seriously take an example from these kind of videos. Thanks for this quality material!
Teachers don’t care about the kids education they are just looking for a paycheck
Because it doesn't go with their agenda. Which is dumbing down our kids to be able to have a world just like you are seeing in this video
It's because there's a certain orthodox political narrative to maintain in schools (which is not necessarily the teachers' fault). It's not due to lack of time.
@@HiThereFaceHere Schools don't have a worldwide agenda.
They teach kids useless things, Because it's easier and looks better statistically. That's it.
More kids graduate, Better scores, Better funding and more prestige to attract more funding and students.
@@sceerane8662 I would agree except way less kids are graduating in this country and in places like the state I live in only 26% of kids are reading at the level they should be and only 21% are are at the math level they should be. That is beyond awful. Our children are being dumbed down to a ridiculous level. A lot of kids in high school don't even know how many moons the earth has. I didn't just make that up either. That is dead serious. And yes there is a socialist agenda being pushed I literally have proof of it and pulled my son from school because of it and so did a bunch of other parents in the same district
and this barely scratches the surface
this needs to be taught in school.
