So you’re liberated be now your forced to work for us at a very minimal wage can’t call it slavery because they are being paid crazy how humans will try to always screw over other humans then try to justify it sad thing forced labor is practiced by so many countries and all the world does is condemn it when it’s caught then go on like nothing happened
Good for you, Naomie, for not allowing this professional to sugarcoat, sidestep, and speak out both sides of her mouth. You're are correct. They remained slaves.
Hear, Hear! Well done for digging your heels in! One of the reasons that indentured servitude was important to Britain was that they didn't want to fall too far behind the Spanish colonies and Brazil that were still able to exploit 'free' slave labour on sugar plantations to realise tremendous profits. These non British colonies did not abolish slavery for another few decades after britain. Just as British colonies like Jamaica had stepped into the production void created by the Haitian revolution, Cuba benefited from the shortfall in sugar production resulting from a series of early 19th century rebellions, (Sam Sharpe-Jamaica, Bussa - Barbados and the Demarara uprising in Guyana,) in the run up to the eventual abolition of slavery in the British empire. These "liberated" Africans also constituted the first recruits for the West India Regiment. I do not know why the historian appears to be downplaying the significance and severity of indentured servitude, it was effectively a second African diaspora and it is relatively under-researched in comparison to slavery. Thousands of liberated Africans ended up in St Helena in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, most were however moved on to places all over the Caribbean like Nassau in Bahamas, Munich in Grenada, NE Trinidad, and Abeokuta or Bekuta in Westmoreland, Jamaica, and most were denied the choice of a return to Africa.
Not necessarily. There was a nuanced difference in that they could return to Africa after their period of indenture if they so pleased and they were paid.
@Tvs Really! Are you truly listening to what you're writing. Please stop ✋️ justifying your nonsensical ideology, This was wrong on all fronts, period. Indenture my a**.
I was today years old when I learned about the piece of history starting at 4:44. I've been learning about Caribbean history and slavery and this gave me a new avenue to research. I share similar roots to Naomie so this may have a personal connection to me too.
This lady is trying to sugarcoat indentured servents for some reason. All colors of people were held in indentured servitude. You were paid so much a day and charged twice that amount for food, shelter... by the time your years of servitude had been met, you owed so much that you couldn't leave. You were truly slaves with no hope of ever leaving.
This historian was really caping for the colonizers. Naomie Harris knew what time it was. The historian responses were just disrespectful and maddening. Get another researcher to keep it 100, periodT. A damn shame
@@carolinekamya2339 nope. There was a difference because these were people who had been freed from slaveships and sent to Sierra Leone to the British base there. But after a while the Brits had to find something for the liberated people to do. They couldn't employ all of the 150,000 recaptives they rescued in Sierra Leone so they had to find gainful employment for them somewhere else
There is a documentary by a Scottish movie maker/ historian which discusses the Scotts presence and part in American slavery. How they realize the treatment is different and in turn do what was done to them in a more brutal form
I disagree that the historian is sugarcoating here. She's giving Naomi the facts and Naomi is quite rightly reading between the lines. These people were considered indentured servants not slaves but they were essentially slaves. They're certainly not free people.
@@user-bo1rj2xu2s "paid some sort of consideration" as in food, clothing, housing, basic medical care, transportation costs. Many mines "employed" people upon an extremely similar basis just trading the idea of pay for the same things and keeping the "employee" trapped in a scheme they could never extricate themselves from. Many still do. Aside from the word there is the question of what (aside from getting to keep your life) you are getting in exchange for your time and freedom.
You shouldn’t feel sad. Slavery was a normal part of the world from as far back as we know up until quite recently really. We can’t blame people for living in the times that they were born into.
According to a PBS article, "Servants typically worked four to seven years in exchange for passage, room, board, lodging and freedom dues. While the life of an indentured servant was harsh and restrictive, it wasn't slavery. There were laws that protected some of their rights." That was in the US. Benjamin Franklin was indentured to work as an apprentice at his brother's printing shop for example. The closest thing we would have in the US today would be the military contract that individuals enter into for a period of time. Very difficult to get out of, low pay, earn a skill, may be at risk of life and limb. Very similar actually.
Not even close if you didn't volunteer, can't return home, and are forced to the same laws and brutally as the enslaved. I have never heard of anyone entering into a military contract adopting their commander's last name, have you?
My grand father was indentured in 1890 as an apprentice seaman on sailing ships in the North Sea at the age of 14. His pay for the first year was one pound. Which is 4 and ha’ Penny per week. Working 7 days a week. 8 hours on 8 hours of. He didn’t receive any pay for 5 years. And didn’t leave the ship in that time. When he was paid they deducted cloths and provisions. Just for some context. By the way his grandfather had to provide £30 guarantee of his indenture.
How smug and pompous we all are about the slave era, when in today’s so-called “modern” society we still have unpaid internships, minimum wage slaves, human trafficking, prostitution, arranged marriages, and forced labour for many, including children. Oh, plantations were so horrible! But the last residential school for indigenous children only closed in 1996. What’s the difference?
The colonial mindset in which the researcher is suffering from it’s frustrating, and I can see Naomi being frustrated as well. The researcher saying that the formally liberated Africans will be paid five pens per day for the first year of them working there, but they can’t leave in the five pens that they’re being paid for their labor what specifically used to keep them indentured
Pence, not pens. Many unskilled workers around the world were paid the same or less. When judging history from the future, we have to understand the context. Naomie clearly doesn’t. The researcher had to explain twice that an “overseer” was not a slave “owner.” There was no way that the British would have paid to return hundreds of “liberated” slaves to Africa, a very expensive voyage. Instead they found them work. Yes, indentured labourers had to fulfill a contract that seems to us unfair. Maybe it was. But they were fed, clothed, sheltered, and paid a minimum wage. They had a tough life, but they were not just abandoned to beg on the streets. After three (or more) years they could make their own way if they wished. That’s not slavery.
If you really want to lament treatment of workers in that era, look at children working in mines, cloth mills, as chimney sweeps, and doing piecework. Women had no rights, either. People who fell on hard times often ended up in the workhouse. Bodies were dug up and sold to hospitals. Able bodied men could be pressed into the Royal Navy. It was not exactly a civilized time.
That Dr whatever her name is tried to downplay the reality of indentured servants - thankfully Naomie Harris saw straight through it and called it what is was 'enslavement'.
Indentured servants was just a politically correct name for "slave". It still continued, and the slaves that were freed in America were recaptured and resold when and if they left and didn't make it North.
In the US at least there were some distinct differences. Indentured servants had legal rights and could bring lawsuits in court, slaves had no rights under the law and could not. Also indentured servants’ children were not legally born servants as well. In the US children followed the condition of the mother, so if their mother was enslaved so were her children for their entire lives. Don’t get me wrong, indentured servitude was nothing nice but is quite different than perpetual, lifelong chattel slavery as practiced in the US
I wonder if I'm related to her. I have Langdons from Somerset.. I haven't been able to trace Naomies Langdons that far back so I can't say.. but James Langdons great grandparents I can't recognise. My 5x great Grandfather was James Langdon Lewis. His mother was a Langdon which is why his middle name was Langdon. James maternal Grandfather was called William Lang, I am not sure what War he was in but as it's 1745 I wonder if it's the Jacobite Rebellion. William lost his limb whilst on board but he survived amazingly.. he survived until he was 76 years old. James Langdon Lewis's son John Lewis (4x great grandfather) was from Somerset and would eventually move to London. John would earn his confectioner apprenticeship and became a pastry confectioner in Somerset and eventually in London, he would live in the fancy metropolitan area as a confectioner whilst his family lived near the docks back in Somerset.. My 3x great Grandfather worked as a carpenter at the docks before becoming a Sailor for about 3 years which is how he ended up meeting my 3x great Grandma in London, he settled down and got married and by the late 1860s and early 1870s he was in contact with his father again helping out in the confectionery pastry business.. a few Generations later my great Grandma Lewis would marry my great Grandfather in 1930 in Poplar, London and had my Grandfather in Essex. My Grandfather spent some time in the army as it was crucial in the 1950s, he got injured.. how I am not sure... but he would be nursed by my grandma who was a certified nurse, my grandfather would move to her home county of Devon and would get married in 1957 where he would fight for compensation for his injury. And a few Generations later I was born
Europe isn't a country ....Precise your thoughts ....Because I feel there 's a lot of American justification to once again fund NAZIs and carpet bomb us that seem be be built up these days out of the fact that we "europeans" are "rats" supposedly as a whole ..... America is the sole country that practiced slavery out in the open , and nuked a defenseless population TWO TIMES not to end a war , but to test test the effect of radiations on a live healthy population and take notes , less than 80 years ago ....If you wanna talk about garbage American wasps deeds I can talk to you all night long

I can not stand how this lady's trying to sugarcoat, it is still slavery!!! Do you think they gave these people a choice if they wanted to be "indentured servants"? And believe me these were not any type of livable wages they were given these people.
Indenturehood typically lasted contractually for 7 years...unless the owner of your contract decides to add more time/years for any "infraction" or extra expense that the contractee incurs. A runaway servant legally could end up indentured for life!
Her ancestor was a slave overseer - ie it was their job to punish other slaves. In an age where people alive and dead are being called-out because their ancestors owned slaves, why no comments about Naomie? Well there are two reasons. One is obvious. The other is that it happened over a hundred years ago and that you cannot possibly be held responsible for what your ancestors did [that fact has no colour bar!}
@@johnbrereton5229 "Exaggerate it?" Suuuure. Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night. It was so bad, and worse that people like you always try to downplay what your ancestors' did and deny it happened.
Why weren't they taken back to west Africa ? because they'd be re enslaved and re sold by the African states - this is before we removed the Nigerian kingdom of Benin remember, major slavers .. we eventually had to set up a state in west africa to safely return slaves because we intercepted so many slave ships... this process of the British Navy stopping slave ships continued into the 20th century on the East coast of Africa
Wikipedia and everything about Naomie says she's Jamaican. There's even some woman claiming to be her twin and claims she's Nigerian.😮 What's that all about?
The woman claiming to be her twin has some mental health issues and its common for people to think all Caribbean's come from Jamaica and forget other islands exist.
The Irish sent to carribean were also indentured servants , against thier will, never to return home - good non fiction book on this is , " to hell or barbados "
This woman has an hang up. Slavery has bestood thriughout history. If she wants to oet her gripes free, go moan to the Arabs that had and still have the largest slave trade ongoing , and who traded slaves with African Kingdoms for gold and weaponry and whence were sold onwards to whitey that could not go into the hinterland as it was too deadly virus wise. Atlantic Slavetrade was brutal, but without nuance, blown way out of scale. Also, modern lenses will fail to understand indentured contracts if there is no willing to understand the nuances within.
Naomie has Nigerian roots because her late father is from Nigeria not that lie she was fed with by our mother. Let my mother sue me if I'm speaking falsely on this, we were separated at the age of 5. Naomie has a twin sister in Nigeria, do your findings!
@@Ironkitten83 can I email you please, how do I get the story to go viral maybe then my mother and those involved in the separation of my family can own up to the truth of their past.
Naomie Harris is Nigerian/Jamaican and British by birth. I am her older twin sister. Our mother has lied to her and changed her real identity. Those aren't her true identity. I've been trying to reach my twin sister to tell her the truth, the world needs to help me get across to Naomie. Her older twin sister is in Nigeria, separated at the age of 5.

Naomie Harris is Nigerian/Jamaican and British by birth. I am her older twin sister. Our mother has lied to her and changed her real identity. Those aren't her true identity. I've been trying to reach my twin sister to tell her the truth, the world needs to help me get across to Naomie. Her older twin sister is in Nigeria, separated at the age of 5. Our whole lives has been a lie!!!!
How do you know that?
