- From approximately 1525 to 1866, 12.5 million Africans were forcibly transported across the Middle Passage to serve as slaves in the New World. Life aboard slave ships was agonizing and dangerous; nearly 2 million slaves would perish on their journey across the Atlantic. #HistoryChannel

Can you please disable the comments.
@jmarks881 AMAZING how white men will call every "Minority" lazy & good 4 nothing...But want 2 OWN a human being for their personal gain...Something very sick about that...& they wonder why so many of "Their WOMEN" want us....Smh...Newsflash: As a great rapper once said "It was all a dream" bcuz thats all that comment was...Just asinine...
Y’all trippin
History Channel. Will you be making another video explaining how Africans sold African slaves into slavery? Explaining how Jews often owned the ships and slaves in the new world? How Arabs probably enslaved 40 million Africans calling them "Zanj" and cut their balls off so they would not breed? How Arabs, Turks and north Africans enslaved white Europeans for centuries during the Ottoman and Barbary slave trade? I think everyone has heard about black slaves before, why not talk about the slavery of native European peoples?
R.I.P to the ancestors! I've always been taught to live a good and decent life so that your sacrifice wouldn't be in vain
I was brought up the same way!!!💯✊🏾♠️
Agreed!

Native Americans and aboriginal had it the worst
Bury me in the ocean, with my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.

@Clara Rene - Yes of course Clara. It was old whiteys fault. You console yourself by believing that. The King of Bonny in Nigeria even wrote to Parliament to complain about Britain ending the slave trade in 1807. The Royal Navy patrolled the West African coast trying to put a stop to the trade from 1808 to 1867. Greed was not a one way thing.

This makes me so sad. Just thinking of the heat, the smell, the pain and how scared they must have been, breaks my heart.
Oooo😮
Don’t forget about the darkness, no electricity back then, soon as the sun set it got dark under the deck pretty quick. Perhaps there were few candles in the women’s section but mostly all dark in men’s section. A true horror
Thank God, everyone will have to appear before the judgment seat of Christ, including all those slave masters.
And there’s still so much we don’t know happened to our ancestors
You don't even know what happens to current day Blacks living in West Africa.

It's not that long ago. The hurt is deep the scars are anger. Don't blame you feeling that way.
It definitely does. I wanted to do the ancestry DNA kit to learn more about my personal heritage but I just can't bring myself to do it, it would be to painful.

Still going on today. An estimated 700k slaves in Africa alone.
I often wonder how many slaves died with hate in their heart...to have lived such a hellish life and to have died such a miserable death....I can't fathom how much pain and anguish they must've felt. To be treated less than a person...stripped of your dignity and told you're someone's property. My heart always feels heavy when I think about these things.
What can we do about it, it affects us today
words cannot express the grief and pain...it's so sad....hail to those who fought and are still fighting.
I feel the same way. Life is something serious
It's done and over with. Move on.

For us to live in 2022 and call these animals our colleges and friends after the atrocities that’s been done to our ancestors. Our forefathers and foremothers would deny us.
This is absolutely DEMONIC.

@Harry Byrne your saying that but why did it happen in the first place ? even during the 50's - 70's there was still racism towards black people, how did nobody say this is wrong why are you doing it is beyond me
Religion
Yes it is demonic it’s also demonic the way their own brother and sisters sold them as slaves. Humans can be evil how can you sell one of your own kind knowing the fate that awaits them?
And how could you even consider purchasing a human being and treating them like some sort of animal and cause them so much suffering? I promise one thing, all those who who have suffered were saved and found eternal life with God, and I can’t say the same thing for the monsters who did it to them.

So proud of you reach out and do your research!!! Its there

Yes I did pay attention but they didn't teach you about it in full details like in the video. My middle school or secondary was very multi cultural.
@@jeromebjoseph13 how are you gonna say that they didn’t teach me about slavery like they did in the video, yes they did.

I have no idea what you’re talking about
We are a great race and a strong race. Be proud of those that endured this cruel treatment called slavery. I thank God for all of them because their power and strength lives in us and we cannot let them down.
If white people said this. What would you say🤔
Rex Belgicus well white people would probably argue semantics
i'd argue our species in general isn't that great, but ok....
Coach Darren : Well said. It is hard for anyone of another race in today's society ( Americans) can use this as an insult to black Americans. But they do.
@@rexbelgicus9712 they did for centuries. Isnt that what this video is about? Only difference is when a black person says it YOU dont ever have to worry about them enslaving you. They say it to uplift themselves not to crush others.
Just think.. when the women were on their periods and giving birth next to eachother. It makes me sick thinking about it
I can't imagine,they would have to wait until they reach the shores when they docked the ship after two months then they bathe in the sea. That's inhumane and disgusting.

Facts!
They didn't die.They are in heaven.
Bernie Rubber I’m aware that Africans have slaves, however that statement isn’t possible because my ancestors are no longer here obviously. In order for me to exist, my great x 4 grandparents had to have been brought on a ship to the United States as slaves, and they had children and so on. Yes some tribes in Africa owned slaves, but it’s a huge continent and there are numerous tribes, not every tribe owned slaves.
Panos Sarantos That’s typically what dying means. Dying is just the physical body dying, and some believe the soul is what goes to heaven.

Makes me sad that any video about slavery seems to illicit so many comments such as "well Africans captured other Africans" and "well other people were enslaved" ask yourself why you feel the need to discredit the Atlantic slave trade, do you feel some sort of guilt? When you see a cancer ad, do you comment about how other diseases kill others?
I think a lot of it is done in defense, because nobody likes finger pointing. Both Africans and Europeans are to blame really, but its in the past and nobody living deserves the blame pushed on them because no one can really claim a real connection to a slave or slaver. Race is irrelevant and tis time for people to move on.
Because the people calling liberals snowflakes are snowflakes as well.

Thank you
Moss Linden thanks
Moss Linden major facts
jmarks881 does your mother not give u enough attention boi?gtfoh
The answer is this (and I don't trust your intentions):
"Because a lot of people use the actions of Dead People to push Racial & National Guilt onto those alive because of their race, as if it entitles them to treat others badly.
They also appear to use it to try to demand more advantages or entitlement for more things.
Secondly, those who suffered are also Dead People and won't benefit from my feelings.
That's true isn't it?"
So there you go.
It is the manipulative intent that is the problem. Look up the corruption of Grievance Studies in Academia for more information. A recent Hoax/Troll that was done shows how corrupt it is. That - and the racist & unequal PRINCIPLES** they push - is the issue.
**As opposed to fashion or ideology which justifies double standards to individuals.
This is honestly so sad I stand up for human’s rights and believe everyone should be treated equally and fair. I truly hope that history does not repeat itself.
As a 12 year old kid that is interested in history, slavery was the hardest topic to endure and learn. I cannot imagine how much pain and suffering they had endured through until the end, our ancestors should be recognized because of their strength. From the comments I have read below, I also cannot believe a human would do this to another human, it is truly barbaric. May our ancestors rest in peace and harmony, may they live another life where they were cherished. May they live a life that they deserve to be treated so much more than just property.
Wow, you seem very intelligent for your age. I’m 16, and I’m glad so many people share my interest in history, it’s one of my best subjects in school .

That's where you are wrong. It's very believable humans can do this to other humans. The world back then wasn't a fairy tale of happiness and it still isn't.
You're saying this like you're living in utopia now where there's no cruelty or innocent people dying so other people make more money

Why not show African history before slavery? It’s always slavery, segregation, colonialism
Because that's not the African American story. African Americans are the product of slavery. With out slavery we wouldn't be here.
because it was just tribes
Princess no it was cities of great wealth to use “just” is a great understatement
Yeah, i would like to see more about actual african culture not just "slavery wuz bad" i think we get it. Even in school slavery was the only thing i was ever taught about africa and the culture, like, that cant be the only thing that ever happened in africa....
TheManInBlack Jean Julien Good point. While slavery is a part of black history, you cannot define a people by it. Where is the history of the culture, arts, foods, music, leadership etc.??
This made me feel so uncomfortable, but I'm glad it did. It means I learned something and I'm becoming just slightly less ignorant. Education helps combat ignorance
Boom: and this here is why critical race theory should be taught.
Well done

@@clarkcountyclothing4926Care to enlighten us smartass?
This hurts my soul to know this is what my ancestors had to endure, but I'm so proud to have African blood running through my veins. Our blood, our melanin symbolizes power, growth, sovereignty, adaptation, light. . . THE BEGINNING. . .
. . . AND THE END!
i think we should get over it and grow up. Blacks are more racist than anyone else, if we forget this history we can all move on without blacks crying about white people being successful.
oh yeah and blacks crying about white privileged which is literally not a thing even tho u people make it a thing.
Im proud of having European blood running through my veins, so much might, power, Honour, and even some celtic warriors
Thats true, if there is a hard working successful white/european, blacks call it privilege.

@@RyanL1430 I'm a black person and I respect Europeans more than Africans because Africans always complain about everything.
After watching Amistad and 12 Years a Slave, I have been watching the conditions on slave ships. I cannot understand how this evil was so widespread and considered normal. I just can’t imagine the pain, suffering, and the list goes on. May those souls of all those enslaved rest in peace and may the souls of all those who took part and actually enjoyed this, rot eternally.
This is disgusting so disgusting I feel so sad. How could people do this just how
Easily when you paid for cargo
People will do ANYTHING to get status. Money brings status.
Because human beings are cruel.
What’s complaining about it gonna do
One day people will read of our times.
From kneeling anger, to ignored worldwide protests and think the same thing.
As a latino with full lips and a dark skin tone i realized that the only reason why im here is because of one of my ancestors survived this.
I am British. And I also agree my ancestors must also have gone through such traumatic events. I would have gladly shared their suffering if I was born in that time.

This is such a sad tragedy. How can a human treat another human this way. It just illustrates that we are a sad lot. Unfortunately, it continues to this day. Slavery and oppression is everywhere. Please keep in mind color is only skin deep, we all bleed red. Judge a person by their actions not the color of their skin. When will we learn?
Well the MSM is trying to divide us all, so let's fight back. That is one way to make people learn.

"I’m so grateful that the slaves didn’t drop and quit…
Listen to me,
The slaves said,
We will live because one day we will become.
We won’t always be slaves.
So today,
Although we’re slaves,
We’re going to act like we’re free.
And one day our children will be free.”
If the slaves would have just said,
“We quit! We give up!”
We would have died in The Middle Passage."- Eric Thomas
Wow, thanks for your post. Every Black person in the U.S. and Caribbean need to read this and digest it. We as a race of people have so much to live for.

In case you didn't know, Religion played a huge role in slavery.
Religious people used the Bible and translated it to suit their views. Many of the bibles teachings are vague and open for interpretation. People used this to justify slavery and create a barrier between those that are superior and inferior. They justified that since the Israelites used slaves it was okay. In the bible Jesus never condemned slavery and that lack of condemnation was translated to approval of slavery.
@@lachicacolocha Jesus technically wasn't a real figure, he was based off a Greek God Pytolemy. I have Evidence.
@@archetype253 it's not true, there is evidence left from Roman writers of that time, they wrote about Jesus of Nazaret, it's just that Palestine was a small piece of land at the very edge of the Roman empire so what happend there wasn't a "huge news" back then.
