The Portuguese entered Nigeria through the Niger-Delta in the 15th Century. There is no doubt Calabar has history on Slavery. Also it is the first capital city of Nigeria.
Great video about something we in the U.S. know too little about. Yes, we are taught it was wrong, but we're seldom taught a true picture of just how brutal and inhumane it was. The true story of slavery in the Americas has been watered down through the years and efforts are now underway to present it as a benign, almost benevolent practice. Your video offers a good starting point to understanding how humanity can sometimes turn against itself.
Yeah it was incredibly insightful getting to see this museum which was extremely in depth and informative. It also doesn’t focus specifically on the act of slavery but tells the side rarely thought about in the USA, about ethnic rivalry and conflict and people’s willingness to do evil in order to profit. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the chance to visit and I wish it was a more visited location by the peoples of North America.
@@JustLifeTravels Yeah, I wish I could afford to go see it myself, but I know it's unlikely I'll ever be able to. That's another reason videos like yours are important. Anyone, regardless of race or ethnicity, should watch videos like this to learn from mistakes of the past and present.
even mexico at the time of the spanish conquest brought slaves from africa for mining because the indigenous people of mexico were very weak and sickened and died very quickly because of all the slavery. In northern states like Chihuahua and Coahuila, the bourgeoisie went out to the streets with Africans chained like dogs as a symbol of power and social status.
@@amandaeguale1641 yeah it’s in Guerrero or Oaxaca state can’t remember which right now, but the majority of the population is black so we thought it was pretty interesting
