Wow!!! We speak of Africa bring robbed of its resources, but the greatest resource that was taken were the people, fathers, mothers, children, doctors, inventors, innovators, workers, laborers all taken. Not only taken from the land of there origin, but also enriching the land they were taken to.
The slave trade can only be argued as an economic issue not as a moral issue. My family owned slaves on our plantation and I have no problem with it. They were fed and sheltered and lived a better life in Tennessee than they would have in Africa. In addition to this, when we talk about Slavery today, the negros in this country US should be thankful that slavery existed, otherwise they would still be stuck in Africa. Instead they get to enjoy all the US offers them.
Ishmael Judah Congo Africa was slave masters hands not America or anywhere else but Africa Babylon Egypt ....laws of Moses banned since ancient times. ISHMAEL IS NOT WORTHY OF GODS LAWS.
Slavery has existed for as long as humans have existed. The African slave trade isn’t even the largest, or the longest form of slavery. Why is this 300 year window of time so much worse than any other slavery throughout history?
There was nothing very unusual about what the Africans were doing. Slavery was a traditional fate for the conquered in Rome, Greece, India, Egypt, China, Persia, Scandinavia, and among the Native Americans. What was unusual was the practice of the Christians and Muslims, who often made war on people of their own faith, but usually honored the religious prohibition on taking them as slaves. Greed motivates wars everywhere, among sub-Saharan Africans as much as anywhere else. But the Europeans were not just passive beneficiaries of the African internal slave trade. The European slave ships massively increased the demand for slaves, and thus their price. Warfare and enslavement in West Africa boomed to many times their previous levels once the English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French started paying top dollar to buy millions of people to ship across the Atlantic. Furthermore, by selling guns and powder to the local African rulers in return for slaves, the Europeans made the slavers more powerful. Many African kings felt they had little choice but to trade slaves for guns, because if they didn't, they would inevitably be conquered and enslaved by neighbors who did trade slaves for guns. There was at least one Congolese ruler who refused to trade slaves with Portugal, only to be overthrown by his own vassals whom the Portuguese paid off; the vassals then resumed the slave trade. (It wasn't the Europeans alone who fueled this increase in the slave trade; Arabs and Berbers from North Africa were also buying lots of slaves. Although my earlier reading said that the Arabs' role was much smaller than the Europeans', some of the newer figures I've seen suggest it may have been larger, so I'm not sure what to say about it at the moment). Before the Europeans, West African slavery existed but was a fairly small-scale problem; after the arrival of the Europeans, and at least partly because of them, the Atlantic slave trade exploded into a catastrophe unequaled in history.
Notice the Caribbean it needed tremendous amounts of slave labor because of the brutal working conditions. The percentage going there in relationship to its size is stunning.
It’s not that, the islands in the Caribbean were used as a receiving center, where the Africans were sorted between healthy and unhealthy from the trip. Also that’s where most of the buying/selling/trading occurred before they were brought to the US.
OMG. Seeing the scale of the slave trade presented like this, knowing that each dot represents hundreds of lives brutally stolen, is overwhelming! And then you notice that the cumulative count scale represents only the slaves who "disembarked", and does not include those who died in the slave-capture or slave-transport process!

10.7 million african slaves were shipped to North America, the caribbean and South America between the 16th and 19th century. Majority of the africans were shipped to the caribbean.
Montgomery Alabama has two excellent museums about slavery. The downtown Legacy Museum has an excellent video similar to this but in more detail, that shows the increase in population of slaves around southern cities across decades. (its sad that the museum will not allow that particular video graphic to be copied or shared in anyway. can't even purchase it)
Ofc you can't purchase it: as soon as someone is able to purchase it, sooner or later will be uploaded on the internet for free and the museum will make less money.
That is because the life expectancy of a sugar cane worker was 3-5 years. Basically they had to keep resupplying the sugar cane plantations with enslaved workers because they continuously died. Let that sink in.
Not Brazil, Portugal ... Everything used and made by slaves here is in Portugal's account. Brazil did not prosper at all with the use of slave labor, all countries colonized by Portugal suffered from it and still suffer from it even today.
@Carolina Dias Are you denying history or in Portugal is history told in another way? By education and respect for the creator of the topic that doesn't speak Portuguese, keep the conversation in English.

Los descendientes de los esclavos se pueden encontrar en todos los piases caribeños, en las Antillas, en América del Norte y en América Central. También en Brasil. Los esclavos eran Nigerianos, Camerunés, Gabonés, Congoleños, Togolés, Beninés, Ghanés, Ivorianos, Senegalés, Gambianos, Liberianos, Angolanos. Las islas caribeñas fueron utilizadas para clasificar los esclavos y para enviarlos en los Estados Unidos y en otros países. Los barcos de los esclavos desembarcan también directamente en las costas estadounidenses (North Carolina, South Carolina,etc).
In the United States it ended in 1861 at the start of the Civil War slavery ended in the U.S. We are the only country to fight a war, lose 600,000 lives to end slavery.
I don't know about the United States but in Brazil it continued until 1888(Slavery) ! I watched a short documentary on Utube about slaves being smuggled in 1965 I believe in the U.S. !! I bet smugglers managed to import more slaves into Brazil too !!!
Where is the data and the explantion for this animation? I have questions about how many slaves were transported with each voyage. It seems to me that the ships got larger and were transporting more slaves per voyage toward the end.

Each and every single ship is completely documented. This is 100% accurate. The problem is America has taken the large brunt of the blame for the slave trade yet we were actually one of the smallest recipients of the trades. The first slave trading was actually started by black people in Guyana with traders from Portugal as payment for goods. That’s where it all started just look up the “Guilt of Guyana”. American should pay its pennants for our role and I believe we have. Probably more than our share. The blame should be spread loaded more appropriately just like this demographic illustrates. The African slave trade lasted around 400 years. Slavery, almost exclusively non-black slavery, has been part of the worlds society for literally thousands and thousands of years! Yet we only talk about black slavery covering the last 400 years. If someone wants to talk about slavery, then have a REAL talk about ALL slavery. Not just the boiled down, tail end, smallest timeframe of the history.
@@tomassmith1519 It very much matters who has the fault. Especially when all the major focus about slavery is pointed at America. Our part is a drop in the bucket compared to many other places yet we take the vast majority of the blame. Slavery has been part of human existence forever, yet the majority focus is the last 400 years and how horrible American is for having it. Slavery has been gone in America for over 150 years yet it’s spoken about as if everyone alive today has some responsibility for it and others are victims of it. So yes it matters, especially when people still point fingers but are not truly educated about the real numbers and reality of ALL slavery. Not just this small convoluted, misrepresented, exaggerated window that everyone looks through most of the time!
The first trans Atlantic slave trading started in the 1400,s by the Portuguese who took slaves to the islands neighbouring the African continent and to Portugal itself !
I can't find the original website that has this. On it, when you pause, you can click on each of the black dots (slave ships) and it will give you information about the ship's country, how many slaves were transported, how many died on route, and where they went. No idea where that website is now. The TH-cam video doesn't have this option.
We broke covenant with YAH and he scattered us into all the gentile nations to be slaves and afflicted 400 years. They conspired to make our history, our hebrew heritage and traditions no more.
It did. About 250 millions years ago, there was only a continent called "Pangea". With the movements of the tectonics plaques we have the actual configuration of the continents now.
Kindof sad, it seems like 3 centuries of cheap human labor has accomplished very little in comparison to what modern industrial machines and computers are capable of. Paying workers better and smarter/fairer management practices seems to accomplish much more in terms of progress efficiency than historic power structures ever could dream of.
What country made all those ships How do you know all the routes that are going are slave trade? Why isn't there a famous captain of the Atlantic slave trade Atlantic slave trade online database says there is 50,000 voyage and not all of them were slave trade?

@Nogent you seem to take every oppurtunity to crticize American slavery. For the record the word "Slave" doesn't necessarily come from "Slav" there are debates that it actually came from the French "escalve"... Regardless we all are aware that American slavery is the only slavery.
@Nogent when did I say American slavery was the only slavery? I’m sure you’re taking that way out of context. This video is about slavery in the Americas.
Hebrew slave trade started way back since 40ad. It wasnt just the atlantic slave trade either. It was african slave trade, European slave trade, Indian Ocean slave trade, Sahara slave trade, Arabian slave trade. The hebrews got traded to the 4 corners of the world
Ur ancestors got sold as slaves by other Africans buddy. Slave trade was established and extremely savage before the Spanish and British came, to find a whole slave ecosystem set ip
let’s not forget that the kings of the african countries happily were selling their own citizens and helped set traps because they wanted firearms and trading goods in return.
One party being complicit with slavery doesn't absolve the other party of it's dehumanization of the enslaved. Call out the horrors on both ends instead of crying hypocrisy.
I am not justifying the odious institution of slavery, but the life expectancy of those who survived the voyage doubled when they reached the New World, and their descendants had/have opportunities still unavailable in most of Africa.
My bad it's 10,000 voyages not 50,000 So you should make a video where 10,000 dots and not all of them are slave ships voyage so how can 12.5 million black people get here ?
A lot of slaves were sent to other places in the new world including the U.S, Central America, and the northern part of South America after they were shipped to the Carribean
If this is true where's the demographics for Europe and if the majority went to the Caribbean I'm assuming they were then sold and bought by America from there because there is no way the numbers for America can be so small
Actually those are correct numbers. Initially slave traders were from Portugal and Spain. Hence, Brazil. Most slave traders used slaves for the sugar trade. Not the cotton trade. Sugar, molasses and rum had higher profit than cotton. In the London Museum Dockland branch it has a large board of slave/cargo vessels, owners and destinations. Large percentage went to the Caribbean and South America not North America. The ships would dock in London, register what they have on board the vessels. The warehouse was massive about a 1/3 of a mile. A large section of the dock/warehouse was damaged in the war a part still remains. My great grandfather used to be on the oil tankers that went to Brazil/US he died at sea and threw his body over board. Even after slavery black bodies were discarded. Also, remember that counties that started the slave trade still have their Portuguese names, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Mozambique, Barbados.
Elisabeth Johnson Teah-Wilson - I hope your great grandfather rests in peace - shockingly disrespectful treatment . My father told me , his father was a ships captain . As a young deck hand , he had witnessed an at sea burial , and said as the ship sailed away , it seemed like the body , rising with each wave , was trying to have a last glimpse of his friends . He swore then that , if he became a captain , he would carry a coffin , so it could be weighted properly . Thank you for your reply - best wishes from London . 🐬
Most slaves went to the Caribbean and south/Central America. The trip to the US was too far. Slaves in the US life expectancy was longer so we breeded a lot. Unlike in other places we didn’t mix as much post slavery.

In New Spain (Mexico) the slave market was never so big because the salary of indigenous labor was cheaper than buying a slave.
⚖️ TRUTH shall be told!
YOU decide
Great representation, but it ignores the millions that were brought to Bolivia going around the southern tip of South America. Millions died just in the Potosí mines.
looks like it’s mostly in south america?
Brazil in particular
Specially since the ones that stopped in Cuba area not always went to North America many went to South America
And Cuba, Haiti and the Caribbean
10.7 million african slaves were shipped to North America, the caribbean and South America between the 16th and 19th century. Majority of the africans were shipped to the caribbean.
Raymon Musse
No South America
Notice all the slaves crossing the Algerian sahara just after the French occupation in 1830 ....
Montgomery Alabama has two excellent museums about slavery. The downtown Legacy Museum has an excellent video similar to this but in more detail, that shows the increase in population of slaves around southern cities across decades. (its sad that the museum will not allow that particular video graphic to be copied or shared in anyway. can't even purchase it)
Ofc you can't purchase it: as soon as someone is able to purchase it, sooner or later will be uploaded on the internet for free and the museum will make less money.
The best deals were made back then
Those Israelites scattered
Haunting...
This is precisely why African-Americans are no longer "minorities" in Brazil I think they are the majority population as of 2019.
This is very dehumanizing.
@@TMB-cv2bg i heard that too lol
@@TMB-cv2bg no one on Earth had ever done slavery the way whites did it. Some people say it was sick but in fact it was unmitigated evil.
Wow it looks like almost all of them went to that little part of the Caribbean.
That is because the life expectancy of a sugar cane worker was 3-5 years. Basically they had to keep resupplying the sugar cane plantations with enslaved workers because they continuously died. Let that sink in.

Not Brazil, Portugal ... Everything used and made by slaves here is in Portugal's account. Brazil did not prosper at all with the use of slave labor, all countries colonized by Portugal suffered from it and still suffer from it even today.
*Damn Portugal

@Carolina Dias Are you denying history or in Portugal is history told in another way? By education and respect for the creator of the topic that doesn't speak Portuguese, keep the conversation in English.
@Carolina Dias Didn't you watch the video above? It wasn’t made by Brazilians, as you don’t want to fight, I won’t fight, but you’re wrong. If you have the opportunity, visit the state of "Minas Gerais" and see the story in person as it happened. Greetings to you.

¿Cuál era el recorrido habitual de los viajes?
¿A qué países actuales los llevaban?
respuestaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@tatuu_0093 Vea en el Internet. No hay muchos hispanos aquí.
llevaban la mayoría a latinoamerica (especialmente Brasil)y el caribe
Los descendientes de los esclavos se pueden encontrar en todos los piases caribeños, en las Antillas, en América del Norte y en América Central. También en Brasil. Los esclavos eran Nigerianos, Camerunés, Gabonés, Congoleños, Togolés, Beninés, Ghanés, Ivorianos, Senegalés, Gambianos, Liberianos, Angolanos. Las islas caribeñas fueron utilizadas para clasificar los esclavos y para enviarlos en los Estados Unidos y en otros países. Los barcos de los esclavos desembarcan también directamente en las costas estadounidenses (North Carolina, South Carolina,etc).
i wish there was sound but thats alot

What rout did the ships take returning to Africa?
So it stopped in 1860 ?!
In the United States it ended in 1861 at the start of the Civil War slavery ended in the U.S. We are the only country to fight a war, lose 600,000 lives to end slavery.
I don't know about the United States but in Brazil it continued until 1888(Slavery) ! I watched a short documentary on Utube about slaves being smuggled in 1965 I believe in the U.S. !! I bet smugglers managed to import more slaves into Brazil too !!!
@@brianbradley6137Haiti: am I a joke to you?
Where is the data and the explantion for this animation? I have questions about how many slaves were transported with each voyage. It seems to me that the ships got larger and were transporting more slaves per voyage toward the end.

All of that trade. More guns, liquor and textiles.
Each and every single ship is completely documented. This is 100% accurate. The problem is America has taken the large brunt of the blame for the slave trade yet we were actually one of the smallest recipients of the trades. The first slave trading was actually started by black people in Guyana with traders from Portugal as payment for goods. That’s where it all started just look up the “Guilt of Guyana”. American should pay its pennants for our role and I believe we have. Probably more than our share. The blame should be spread loaded more appropriately just like this demographic illustrates. The African slave trade lasted around 400 years. Slavery, almost exclusively non-black slavery, has been part of the worlds society for literally thousands and thousands of years! Yet we only talk about black slavery covering the last 400 years. If someone wants to talk about slavery, then have a REAL talk about ALL slavery. Not just the boiled down, tail end, smallest timeframe of the history.
Doesn't matter who had the fault. We just try to never repeat this
@@tomassmith1519 It very much matters who has the fault. Especially when all the major focus about slavery is pointed at America. Our part is a drop in the bucket compared to many other places yet we take the vast majority of the blame. Slavery has been part of human existence forever, yet the majority focus is the last 400 years and how horrible American is for having it. Slavery has been gone in America for over 150 years yet it’s spoken about as if everyone alive today has some responsibility for it and others are victims of it. So yes it matters, especially when people still point fingers but are not truly educated about the real numbers and reality of ALL slavery. Not just this small convoluted, misrepresented, exaggerated window that everyone looks through most of the time!
@@702marine allrigth, I understand that
The first trans Atlantic slave trading started in the 1400,s by the Portuguese who took slaves to the islands neighbouring the African continent and to Portugal itself !
LoL..what? No such thing as black people for one. There's no history of what you said LoL
I can't find the original website that has this. On it, when you pause, you can click on each of the black dots (slave ships) and it will give you information about the ship's country, how many slaves were transported, how many died on route, and where they went. No idea where that website is now. The TH-cam video doesn't have this option.
That is disturbing
Its crazy how you can see the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807 and the US slave trade in 1808.
Mozambique and madagascar came out of nowhere in the later years of this due British blocking certain atlantic ports.
We broke covenant with YAH and he scattered us into all the gentile nations to be slaves and afflicted 400 years. They conspired to make our history, our hebrew heritage and traditions no more.
Why does Brazil look like it broke off from Africa? Look at the shape of the eastern coast of Brazil and look at the coast of Western Africa
Because it did.
@Mourad dz Yes, my friend. I was there.
It did. About 250 millions years ago, there was only a continent called "Pangea". With the movements of the tectonics plaques we have the actual configuration of the continents now.
OMG I didn't know. This is horrific.
Kindof sad, it seems like 3 centuries of cheap human labor has accomplished very little in comparison to what modern industrial machines and computers are capable of. Paying workers better and smarter/fairer management practices seems to accomplish much more in terms of progress efficiency than historic power structures ever could dream of.
They built Brazil and Cuba and most of South America before they put any slaves in the east coast. People in the USA barley had anything to do with it
Heartbreaking. A people once forced into slavery and now eagerly vote for it.
how to we have records of all those ships tho.
@Duryea Foxx there were no ships? Who told you that?
What country made all those ships How do you know all the routes that are going are slave trade? Why isn't there a famous captain of the Atlantic slave trade Atlantic slave trade online database says there is 50,000 voyage and not all of them were slave trade?
Either way...are you saying you are all for it? You stand in agreement no matter the number? IT'S A TRAGEDY! SCREW THE NUMBERS.

Probably includes you.
How about we make you one, so you can see how it feels?
@Nogent you seem to take every oppurtunity to crticize American slavery. For the record the word "Slave" doesn't necessarily come from "Slav" there are debates that it actually came from the French "escalve"... Regardless we all are aware that American slavery is the only slavery.
@Nogent the end about the Esclave and Slav is actually being debated.
@Nogent when did I say American slavery was the only slavery? I’m sure you’re taking that way out of context. This video is about slavery in the Americas.

Hebrew slave trade started way back since 40ad.
It wasnt just the atlantic slave trade either. It was african slave trade, European slave trade, Indian Ocean slave trade, Sahara slave trade, Arabian slave trade. The hebrews got traded to the 4 corners of the world
Its not accurate . Brazil ended slavery in 1890. And the Anglophone world -- aside the U.S. -- ended slavery in 1830.

This is absolutely disgusting
been going on for tens of thousands of years.
let’s not forget that the kings of the african countries happily were selling their own citizens and helped set traps because they wanted firearms and trading goods in return.

I am not justifying the odious institution of slavery, but the life expectancy of those who survived the voyage doubled when they reached the New World, and their descendants had/have opportunities still unavailable in most of Africa.
My bad it's 10,000 voyages not 50,000 So you should make a video where 10,000 dots and not all of them are slave ships voyage so how can 12.5 million black people get here ?
the graph doesn't claim to show every single slave ship. Just the ones in its data base
Interesting some of the slaves ended up in Europe !
So none went to Central America?
A lot of slaves were sent to other places in the new world including the U.S, Central America, and the northern part of South America after they were shipped to the Carribean
@@slimthickgoddess8866 Ok thanks for the answer have a great day.👍
Yes Central America too but not as much although some enslaved Africans from the Caribbean would later be sent to central America

If this is true where's the demographics for Europe and if the majority went to the Caribbean I'm assuming they were then sold and bought by America from there because there is no way the numbers for America can be so small
Yes - and also , the UK seems to be not involved in this animation , which we all know to be untrue - we were heavily involved .
Actually those are correct numbers. Initially slave traders were from Portugal and Spain. Hence, Brazil. Most slave traders used slaves for the sugar trade. Not the cotton trade. Sugar, molasses and rum had higher profit than cotton. In the London Museum Dockland branch it has a large board of slave/cargo vessels, owners and destinations. Large percentage went to the Caribbean and South America not North America. The ships would dock in London, register what they have on board the vessels. The warehouse was massive about a 1/3 of a mile. A large section of the dock/warehouse was damaged in the war a part still remains. My great grandfather used to be on the oil tankers that went to Brazil/US he died at sea and threw his body over board. Even after slavery black bodies were discarded. Also, remember that counties that started the slave trade still have their Portuguese names, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Mozambique, Barbados.
Elisabeth Johnson Teah-Wilson - I hope your great grandfather rests in peace - shockingly disrespectful treatment . My father told me , his father was a ships captain . As a young deck hand , he had witnessed an at sea burial , and said as the ship sailed away , it seemed like the body , rising with each wave , was trying to have a last glimpse of his friends . He swore then that , if he became a captain , he would carry a coffin , so it could be weighted properly . Thank you for your reply - best wishes from London . 🐬
Most slaves went to the Caribbean and south/Central America. The trip to the US was too far. Slaves in the US life expectancy was longer so we breeded a lot. Unlike in other places we didn’t mix as much post slavery.
