The True History Of Britain's Horrifying Role In Slavery | Britain's Slave Trade | Timeline

- The Old Corruption challenges the accepted version of the history of abolition, that the passive, suffering slaves were freed by benevolent white crusaders, revealing the corruption of the plantations owners, and how the inhuman treatment of African people was finally acknowledged.
This is the untold story of the greatest slaving nation in history. Up till now, Britain’s place in the history of slavery has been as the country that abolished the international slave trade.
Britain’s Slave Trade reveals the shameful truth behind this liberal facade, showing how the economic, social and cultural life of Britain would have been unrecognisable without slavery. Britain’s Slave Trade explains how a middling European power transformed itself into the ruler of the waves, tracing the impact this had on the British way of life and taking in the Industrial Revolution, the beginnings of Empire and the birth of modern racism along the way. It also unearths startling evidence showing how many families that think of themselves as ‘pure’ English stock are in fact descended from slave ancestors.

One sided tale. It's deeper than y'all 😂 think. Wille Lynch created reasoning the mixed slave tricked him. White you right 😂 but what if the whites aren't 😂 white.
Is there a part 2 to this or where can I see the whole storyline please, and thank you for making this... it is nice to know my history
It’s a starting point....
I look forward to your follow up on William Wilberforce!
Oh by the way not all slave owners and traders were white Christians....no race, religion or creed should get a pass
@@carlahanley4362 What is the point?
I cant imagine being thrown into the ocean to drown or worse, watching my child, mother, father or wife be thrown overboard and not be able to do anything about it. The trade was so heinous and deplorable I cant get my head around how anyone could impose such cruelty upon another human being. It's just absolute insanity.

Demonic😩😭
Still happening today. Libya is enslaving Africans if they come thru there countries. Everyone knows no one says or does anything.
I cant imagine it either nor war when your home is bombed.
I can't imagine same being sold by your own kind or kin to another race...
I am Jamaican. I felt the sting particularly when I lived a year in England to study and visited several of the grand estates and beautiful buildings. I was thankful that I did not have to live through those times. I don't know how my ancestors survived but I am grateful to them for doing so.
YOUR ANCESTORS WERE HEBREWS. THE KINGDOM OF JUDAH. PEACE TO YOU.
I AM TOO GRATEFUL FOR OUR ANCESTORS WHO STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.
As am I. Grateful and thankful, our ancestors amazing strength and powerful will to live and thrive.

How anyone, no matter the circumstances, can lay 110 lashings to a child, is truly evil.
It's easy when you can dehumanize humans and view them as animals, like cattle. ;-)
@@SalznPfeffer658 How can you do that to an animal much less a human being? I still can't get my mind to understand how entire countries deemed this as fit.
@@arthurriley2957 you can do anything if you set your mind to it. In the case of slavers, it requires an ideological shift, a conscious effort to delude the mind to justify the means. Lets not forget how power corrupts even the nicest of people. ;-)
Human being cab grow to be god like and be like demon.. It has immense elasticity.. Love is the key
Age didn't matter. Color did. Add another 100 years of fighting for basic civil rights to add to the nightmare after emancipation.
As a black person I am humbled to learn how my ancestors endured and survived for me to live and the only pay back to them is to try and live my life well and to say thank you always
It is reassuring that you understand this heritage. I trust you accept the duty of voting and responsibility of righting wrongs when seen and nurturing justice at all times and any cost.

It's worth knowing all aspects of this. And how Brits ended the slave trade. The only nation to have the conscience to do so.
I assume you know this?
It's pretty humbling that your ancestors caught, enslaved and sold your ancestors.
Your ancestors sold your ancestors to the Portuguese- my ancestors stopped it happening after seeing the light
No. It's to fight for (reparations) brother! So that your ancestors didn't die in vain💰💵💸💲US🇱🇷UK🇧🇻 they owe 🤔
Those in power still talk the same way when it comes to trade and employment 😡😡

Therea may destroyed the windrush generation files not long ago people who were colonized and oppress working filthy unwanted jobs were deported and treated like filth in the 20 century think about that
They always found new refined ways for servitude.The white supremacists history.
No they don't. Stop it!
White people also was slave in barbary slave trade
Being a black South African and seeing all these, i get sick. This is disgusting. Actually who's a savage here? Who's barbaric here? These are the results of sick minds
Your a real South African not just a Black one a true African of the South dnt let those white fakers and so called coloreds tell you other
@@kaleahcollins4567 how do you know, he probably descended from immigrants from other Africans countries as soon as they saw what the white colonists built. As usual
@@madelinemardigan3386 the white colonists STOLE get out of here with that bs
@@madelinemardigan3386 Yeah, that’s not what happened. San, Khoi and other First Nations were isolated in SA for at least 100 thousand years. Later, Bantu expansion from Western Africa potentially reached South Africa by 300 AD. In the 1640s, A group of ship workers stayed over for longer than usual, in what is now Cape Town. Upon their return to Holland the men encouraged the Dutch to establish a permanent settlement for the VOC instead of just being a small refreshment post for the long journeys from the Netherlands to the Indian Ocean.
This movement of people that you mentioned. The mass movement to poorly serviced areas around historically white areas was for economic reasons. Clearly you could sympathize with another human being with a family to support back in their homeland which is in such poor state and unable to be economically competitive …This is/was but a chapter in the migrant worker/miner crisis and the generational & geo-political effects that still exist to this day, because of historic exclusion and gate-keeping along racial lines. Your indifference and quickness to cast stones, is what makes you a bad person.
@@kaleahcollins4567 Humans have been moving around this planet for more than 50 000 years, changing the demographics of that new territory (either naturally, through intermarriages, mixing or most definitely, through violence.) This is something that has been happening for longer than you and I both can possibly fathom. Colonialism - unlike other forgotten transgressions - is well documented and internationally abhorred, so the perpetrators are well known and their descendants living in these former colonies are in an uncomfortable spot. There’s no “home” in Europe.
My point is : If, according to you, white people can’t be African. Should the rule be that all “races” should move back to “their continent” (up until 1000 years ago?) Why are people devoid of citizenship because of what European Capitalists and Imperialists decided to do back in 1652?
The more I read, the more I listen and the more I read I am feeling as if I lived back then with my fellow Africans. I will not call them slaves, i will not remember them as slaves. They were people just like anyone else.
They weren't really slaves except to the slavers. Many were particularly dignified and were morally far above the slavers. I was born in *Ohio* and I hope that my antecedents were active in the _underground railroad_ which helped free many such slaves - nowhere near enough but still many.
@bigrider2806 🤔
They were prisoners of war‼️
True. You should not call them slaves
Nobody cares what you think, Iesha!
If you don't think this caused massive generational damage I'm not sure what to say.
They don’t think that way when it’s black people only Jews get the sympathy, wealth, and equity🤷🏾♂️
They know it does. Their fear of being poor and having to really work and sacrifice for survival leads them to justify these actions and fear the wrath of the descendants of slaves acquiring enough power to hit back. They fear retribution.
Wow! 20 million pounds which is the equivalent of 1 billion pounds in today's currency paid to the slave owners in compensation, but zero paid in reparation to the slaves even up to now. What utter inhumanity and barbarism expressed toward black people for being who they were created to be. So so sad.
but it got them freed - and the cost of the british navy was enormous too

Crazy how people who did horrible things to other human beings get statues and huge memorials in their names as if they were good people just because everybody else did it dont make it right I would be ashamed if my family did things like that to other human beings
@oneil masa thats right on point. Its inevitable that common sense will always prevail.
Accept in its entirety the fact that what happpened in the trans atlantic was a crime against humanity. The first law of forgiveness is the acceptance of guilt. Nobody is saying that our present generation is guilty for our ancestral crimes but that those attrocities be acknowledge as attocities that they are by everyone.
The world is yet to reach its starting point on these matters and by definition it is far far away from securing closure.
Kinda makes you question how there could be statues of Stalin, Marx and Lenin
True! Like the statue of Cecil John Rhodes in Cape Town, South Africa. He was wicked towards all the people of colour.
@me hee even your Asian language and culture and country was once a black country do your research we are now living in the era of GOGGLE everything that was hidden and WHITE WASHED IS NOW THERE IN YOUR FACE do your own research then you can ask that QUESTION???????
@cobainzlady if they were ashamed they would not be fighting to keep statues up, the truth is this. Its more of a sense of pride and nothing more, pride that their ancestors fought the noble cause, that cause being keeping people in bondage. dont you know anything?
When I was 13 years old I was getting a daily whipping with the belt. One time when I was 14 years old I rebelled and ran off when my father was going to give me my daily whipping. He yelled for me to stop, and shouted he was going to give me 100 lashes if I didn't come back. I ran to my neighbors house and tried to hide under their station wagon. My father and my older brother grabbed me by my legs and wrenched me out. I held on with all my might but My grip failed as my arm was dislocated from my shoulder. I was taken home and my father made good on his threat. I received 100 lashes from his belt. I was bruised and bleeding from my shoulders to my knees on the back of my legs. There wasn't any child protection agencies in those days. I ran away from home and set out on my own at age 15, and made a pact with myself to never hit any of my children. I'm 65 years old now, and my 1st and only wife is 39. I have 4 beautiful children with her all under the age of 9. We all love each other so much. They have made it possible for me to realize how much I appreciate what I was robbed of when I was a child.
In September 1781-442 slaves were being carried to west indies. He decided to throw 133 slaves over board. The insurance would pay for the losses. In court the lawyers argued that drowning slaves were no different from drowning horses. Diabolic!

Whoever wrote the bible must have owned slaves because it says it's just fine to have slaves...
@J2J biblical nonsense, you're literally brainwashed thinking that you're cursed...
@J2J not sure if you can be cursed by a religion that most of our people didn’t identify with at the time.
@J2J this is true. May we call out to the father as one people and the remnant will be saved. HalaluYahuah to the King.
I just can't image owning another person! Anyone that can enslave another human being is sick, these people were savages.
Yes they were Benjamin.
Luciferians the satanists of today. The white elite take slaves today only it's whites, blacks and reds. Color has nothing to do with it. We're in bondage more today than then only now, it's all races!

Whether it was considered the right thing at that time it was wrong to enslave other human beings , period 😡
As long as you don't go blaming people who are alive today for it...
@@charjl96 "They" do not. A minority do. Just like a minority harbour the ideals of yesteryear. "They" just want an OPEN and SINGLE STANDARD playing field. This, we can clearly see is not occurring to this day.
We teach history so it doesn’t repeat itself.
Aye Co Breeze I’m afraid human nature hasn’t changed. People have an amazing ability to rationalize their own behavior when it’s profitable to do so. The rich and powerful have exploited the poor and weak since the beginning of time and they always find a way to rationalize it to themselves.
charjl sad that blame is the only thing you took from this. I took sadness and shame. How terrible that one group of humans can treat another group of humans so badly. I appear white but I’m sure I have the blood of many races running through my veins. I am the product of many. How sad it would be to not share in the rich heritage of all the amazing groups of races of this world.
The fact that these descendants are living their lives carefree, proud and still wealthy from the cruelty and savagery their ancestors did shocks me. I would be ashamed to bare the last name of such a evil person.

Do not be fooled by those who say "Slavery was the norm back then; everybody did it; it was part of society". Guaranteed: if YOU or your family were enslaved you would have an entirely different view of things. Thinking people throughout history have spoken out against slavery. It was never a morally accepted practice in certain circles!
Ramey Zamora : Great response ! The devil who stated this also caught my attention, he made his wealth from his perverse ancestors and he would also support barbaric and atrocious acts in the current world. As long as its not directed to him !!!!
it was part of the society so imagine the sick twisted savages who lived in those times
But that quote is very true! People who say those things are not wrong, nor would one be a fool for believing them! Seems like you're insinuating that our modern morals, as they were, have always existed throughout history. Now, that's foolish! It's important to learn how to separate completely your personal morality from history. History has no virtue!
@bearjew Rubbish. Justification justification justification. I hope there is truly a God out there who will really push every one involved. They shall never hv peace in the after life if truly it does exist. The enslaved will hv the last laugh.
Well it was the Portuguese.
Racism and treating people different by their pigment hasn’t changed quickly enough. My middle daughter and her best friend were going to a party and as I was driving them to it, her best friend said ‘will I be the only black person there’. For a child to feel that and feel different at only 5 years of age, isn’t okay. At only 5, what she said broke my heart. Because I’d never even thought anything about her colour and never experienced racism, but she obviously had 😢 I went to a 50% multicultural school and was brought up that people are just people. But for a little child and many more who do still experience this, it’s ignorance and not okay in my world.
It's like we're natural enemies now and forever you all could never get forgiveness for what you have to to my people
@@davidleery6445 Youre very angry, as I have struggled with. Its not the answer, though.

Awfully cruel how one race could treat another with such cruelty.I can feel the pain right now.
It was a particular set of people, that were like a pack of Hyenas, barbaric, simi- humans. It was not slavary, it was their pervertions.
Yes. Where the seeds of Satan go destruction always follow. These racist are demonic savages with nothing in their hearts but hate. They aren't human and it shows.
The worst part is, they keep the hate going around time after time after time. I don’t see Oprah, Whoopi, and the rest of the black sporting world and actresses doing anything good to spread love. This all has become a manipulation tool for them to make money. Do the Jews do this hate propaganda? Yet they are persecuted every day. If you keep give out hate, you will get it back.
You do know that Africans sold fellow Africans to the Europeans and profited very well from the trade? They also brutalised fellow Africans in the process to make it happen.
IT WASN'T ONE RACE ..it was Many no it was normal . Britain was certainly not be alone and few saves ended be up in the UK . At one time in the middle ages most non land owning people in Britian were slaves me Same in other European countries. Your in history is abysmal .

Talking about he “doesn’t see the use in calling them dreadful because it wasn’t seen as an awful thing”. YES IT WAS! Obviously the abolitionist felt it was wrong for a reason.
I think he is the type if guy if he had chance to own slave today he would, and maybe he has someone changed up in secret somewhere that’s why he dose not feel shame because he is one of them.

Slave ownership was never the norm but for the elite and rich. Claiming it was the norm is callous and insensitive
No. In my extensive research, I've seen plantations on one Caribbean island of all sizes.
I've seen 90 acre lots with less than 10 slaves then 136 acre lots with nearly 200 slaves so obviously it wasn't just for the rich and the elite.

And the government paid the slave traders compensation, the ex-slaves also had to work for a number of years for free, thus the slaves actually ended up paying compensation to their ex-masters

It makes me SICK to know that people were treated this way because of the color of their skin. That is one part of history that I am ashamed of!
People were treated this way because it was profitable. The transatlantic slave trade would have been impossible if a native African slave trade hadn't already existed. Yes, black people and Arabs were enslaving black people for hundreds of years before Europeans arrived.
Africans brutalised and sold Africans to the Europeans making themselves very wealthy in the process

@@charjl96 is a form of radical right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. Alive and well today, through elitism and white supremacy .Fascism is a form of government which is a type of one-party dictatorship. Fascists are against democracy. ... Fascism puts nation and often race above the individual. It stands for a centralized government headed by a dictator. Historically, fascist governments tend to be militaristic, and racist.
So 98 % of all people no mater colour, creed, politics or nation throughout history were fascists?
You idiot they were ALL doing it!
charjl somebody who is antifa
How these people were treated is beyond my mindset. I’ve been raised in rough areas my whole life, violence was in that area as well. No matter what I’ve been through, I never thought of inflicting pain or torture of this magnitude.
It's difficult to watch really. 5 mns in and I've stopped. The descendants are seemingly so unemotional about the savagery of their ancestors it's almost as if they endorse it. I could NEVER enjoy the wealth of such a legacy.
You're an idiot.
Jeroen Stobbe how?
@@maisha456 I'd not entertain him. He's Belgian...he'll soon deny it. Their colonial past will soon catch up with them. I'm not a racist...therefore, I could not be an idiot
JB, no, you are not an idiot, a normal human being can't be proud of such immorality...
they have no control over what their ancestors did lmao
Cant believe how evil humans can be, to treat another human in such a cruel manner, worse than an animal. Soulless, heartless, people. I could never behave that way, even if i lived back then. Its embarrassing, and shameful that my race committed such atrocities.

@@DavidValter1984 stop that nonsense. Majority were never sold. Families fought to protect family members when they heard white people who came to Africa as traders of gold etc were capturing people n taking them on ships. So please stop that nonsense

I don't suppose that any academic institution EVER covers the fact that at the height of the slave trade, 78% of Slave owners were Jewish. At that same point Jews were 2000 x more likely to own slaves than gentiles.
Despite that being a literal trade of one minority over another.
We know why the media and academia paints it as 'white vs black' issue, when learned people know it was anything but.
Now tell me how you feel about it
From time immemorial, the desecration of another's freedom and liberty has always been evil.
Wait didn’t Britain abolish the thousand year old slave trade?
Because the crown was threatened by the growing fortune of other English Family.

I think we need to know the story, the real story. - Recall that in all historical periods there have been committed brutality, abuse and violence of all kinds. - We need to know history to make sure it doesn't repeat itself. - Only this could redeem humanity: DO NOT REPEAT - defend the ideals of peace, solidarity, freedom, for all human beings.
For the life of me, maybe I was born on a different planet, but I can't grasp the idea of selling people, and to own them in the first place. I still have struggle of how can one nation can be built on fighting against the oppression of its motherland and the titles, and both didn't learn anything from it?! Yeah, free labor is cool for a couple of years, but then what? Bunch of disgruntled people? I was born in Russia (USSR), and my ancestors were serfs, which accounts to slaves. This whole October thing and 70+ years after was a direct result of hundreds of years of abuse. And I'm not a socialist or a communist, but I can see that public wrath can reach a point of no return. In any country.

This documentary made me sigh. Many a great Africans and Asians sacrificed their lives to gain freedom they deserved as human beings. According to History, without the Africans’ free labour, America or England would not have survived. Australians were ex-convicts and they were shipped off to Australia and they too took over the land once belong to the Aborigines. Am I correct? Canadians too, massacred the native Indians and took over their land. In reality we all are equal, but some are power crazy. Hence the on going battle for the Rights of the rightful owners. i.e. America.
Beautifully said. Then there's apartheid South Africa...
England would not have survived? What do you mean? Conquered by France or the German or Spain?
History does not show that
The truth is that England was always a prosperous country. That's why the Vikings invaded. It was prosperous in the Middle Ages thanks to the wool trade. It started the Industrial Revolution which led to incredible advances in general prosperity not only for the UK, but also many other parts of the world, which is continuing today. It is impossible to explain the whole history of England in a few words here. This video is incredibly biased, and its authors are wrong because they are perpetuating division between the races.
@Silulu Alama where in Africa?
Shame to any society that slaves people. No matter who they are. Looking back at history is a good way to learn from our ancestors' mistakes.

F. Douglas says👇🏾
Douglass then asks a rhetorical question: "Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us [blacks]?" He pushes forward his thesis: "This Fourth July [sic] is yours, not mine" [italics his]. Indeed, he says, to ask a black person to celebrate the white man's freedom from oppression and tyranny is "inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony." By "sacrilegious," he means the evil defilement of sacred American ideals - democracy, freedom, and equal rights.
And today 2023 black people are criminised most, looked at the race of violence by their violetors. Black people are looked at the angry race by these people that did this to our ancestors. I am proud to be black. Sometimes I am amazed how friendly my people are to all human race yet we know what we have been through.
If there is judgement after death I hope these people were judged tightly.😢
This is such a misinformed comment
Lift the rock to escape, lol.
I get that this is history...but why are black people labelled as having a chip on their shoulder if they try to talk about it.
because ur suppose to allow whites to set the tone of ur relations to them. the gall of these critters is legendary. they are still systematically benefitting from shhh they did four hundred years ago.
FM BXB it’s quite sad, my Grandfather was cutting sugar cane as well as travelling between USA to work as a farm hand because that’s the work that was afforded to him. Barbados was the first slave colony in the new world and part of the reason that it appears that Black people have a chip on their shoulder is that we don’t really know who we are. We can trace backwards to see who owned us. Slave owners and their families still benefit from that wealth today and yet, our ancestors and descendants are still no further ahead.
@@PositivelyAngela speak for yourself I have traced my family back 13 generations.
I know exactly who iam.
Angela Nurse I’ve been studying U.S. indigenous history and as it turns out many people from different Apache tribes were captured and shipped out to Barbados to be slaves there. I really wonder how many people there have Native American ancestors. I’ve been reading books(words by the colonizers) on how these certain tribal people and other slaves(hoping to be free) would decide to try and escape. They’d hollow out a (light weight) tree trunk and get out on the water just to try and sail back home 💔💔💔 colonization is evil= to this day.

Isn't show called Timeline? Where are the dates in this program?

@@MrKellyELA I kinda was thinking the same thing

Dates are mentioned.
At the end of the day, the Queen attended a lot of ceremonies, enjoyed the royal yacht touring around getting deference from 'subjects' etc but did next to nothing to right the wrongs of the past. She seemed at ease in Africa and related to Africans, but always retreated back behind the walls and was certainly not an activist by any stretch. So her impact on humanity was ultimately next to zero, while having had the capacity to have made huge impacts.
well said. Much of the world is looking forward to the UK meeting the same fate as Rome; given their murderous and greedy culture. The UK is definitely not a responsible society; disturbing.
@@Private-pi3yi FACTS!!!
Even if you own slaves, why be so ungodly cruel???
the word DEMONIC comes to mind
Genesis 15: 13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Pam Barry 3:58 "In those days the fittest survives and I think that Edward Huggins was really tough... He didn't stand for any nonsense." She really tried to rationalize it. Sociopathy must run in the family.
She is a very disturbed person. Equating the human desire for freedom as "nonsense"

yes this is a long time ago, a past generation has nothing to do with us now,
The man that used the excuse that it was normal for the time is ridiculous. Just because a corrupt practice is accepted does not mean we have to take advantage and gain financially from the practice. Wrong has not changed that much. Our world views are very much shaped by the practices around us but participating in human trade and say feeling children should be disciplined or only talk when spoken to are two very different subjects.
Jaclyn I totally agree with this statement of yours and stay blessed 🙌
I really find the word ‘slave’ offensive and demeaning, they were human beings, who were used and abused 😡 I also find it disgusting that people treated other people this way 😢
they are kinapped citizens of developed nations. Responsible for civilizing Europe only a few hundred years before
@@celesteadeanes4478 What are you talking about???? Seems you have a really big imagination.. So, the ancestors of the slaves have brought civilization to Europe? Never heard of that before.. Only if you take in account that all people are African in origin..
I agree with you. I stopped using that word quite some time ago . I say " the enslaved"
because no body is another person's slave. People were/are enslaved.
I also never say slavemaster. That person is called an enslaver; a person who enslaves another CANNOT be one's master.
@@jaronimo1976 the “black” Moors went to Europe and taught yt people to bathe. And much much much more.
“The kidnapped people “ that’s my new term. The people were kidnapped by many of the Africans from other States as a result of wars and in fighting sand the cycle continued, as the Arabs and Portuguese became second middle men and then other countries such as England, France, and others secured the shipments across the Atlantic.
Sick and disheartening history that all who are now benefiting from these horrific acts on humanity should be seriously ashamed of...
Amazing how they speak about this and smile. Today.
What are they to do? They can't change history. Be glad they are telling the history.
Anyone notice similarities how the planter plantation system from 200 300 hundred years ago is the same that going on in politics today?

Interesting how the British Parliament suddenly came around in 1805 after the Haitian Revolution.
gerard bain agreed!
Why is that interesting?
@@jamesmurray_scot They were afraid that the slaves in their colonies would follow the Haitian example and take their freedom by force.
The British -like the French- would never go first if someone else could be nudged to face death.
The historian said it wasn’t. That parliament was motivated by war with the French.

England was no better than The Americans. Both countries have blood on there hands.
Worse!! They committed war crimes all over the world , The British empire killed over 150+ million people and it only ended in 1997
Well you have to remember when the whites stepped onto America they weren't American, they were European. They are all the same.
I have cried many times in the past for my ancestors. I thank those who fought for freedom. I am also grateful for the role played by the abolitionists. I do not harbour any hatred or desire for vengeance in my heart, but love to all men. Jesus Christ is my Lord.
you are still enslaved mentally if you believe in white Jesus as your lord.
Once I was blind now I can see, thank you for this posting with facts I feel free!! Peace & love.
You know the Amazing Grace song was written by an old slave trading sea captain who was seeking redemption after all the atrocities he had committed. I'm just saying
Did this guy just so he doesn't think it was such a dreadful thing?? REALLY?? #grapesofwrath
Of course, he feels this way. His family wasn't the slaves.
I looked up some information on Edward Huggins. Turns out he wasn't just "fittest surviving" as his relative so eloquently put it. In January 1810, he was brought before the Nevis House of Assembly for excessive cruelty to his slaves. Horrible.
That was included in this documentary.
Wow, how convenient...Excessive cruelty?
So creulty was allowed then.
Christopher Anderson
Was Hanging excessive cruelty? Or 15 years in goal? Punishments were administered against crimes. So some may say punishment is cruelty. Therefore cruelty was permitted. The workhouse was permitted as well. 1810 there were wars. So bloody murder was permitted. So why ask?
The Brits avoids this subject even to this day
Evil comes in all colors,good comes in all colors,this is a cruel world,and always will be,
The pair at 46:00 are disgusting. Touting the "benefits" of food and medicine while being a slave. The denial of these items after freedom by predatory business practices and punitive commerce were the mean and petty retributions of a former slave-owning society.
I grew up among adults who frequented my parents' restaurant and in later years would come by the house for music and chat. One of the old patrons told me about slave ships when I was 8 or 10. He was very good at story telling, could quote Shakespeare, and formed a good bit of my understanding of history. I could almost smell the salt air and then feel the chains and grew ill at the sickness in the hold of the ship. With tears in his eyes he described the separation of children from their mothers. God bless you, Barry, you old sot; it's people like you who led to civil rights in my generation; may you rest in heaven.
He forgot to tell u, that the slaves were Captured by other African-tribes......who Kept some as personal-slaves, & others were Sold to(white)-EnSlavers .
@@evedumont9233 yes bigots always point that out and gloss over what educated, supposedly more sentient anglo-saxon people did. They also point out that Spanish crews gave them the name negra for black in color.

As a native brtion, My grandmother was born in a work house and lived and worked there untill she married.
So she was a slave as much as anyone else. Not only people of colour where slaves, times where different then an attitudes towards human life/value was alot less than today.
We are enslaved in different ways today, most of us dont even know it.
A moving and informative documentary.
Fascinating history! We must not forget! Thank you.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. What's more sickening is that people are still being enslaved and unscrupulous individuals have corrupted systems to gain power using money looted from public coffers, which is of course the blood and sweat of the majority poor.
Preach please 🥺
You find many European countries continued practices , 50 -100 years after we abandoned them. We went to war to stop these practices.
Here’s a professor speaking. God Bless this man for he’s an example for today’s young.
The the ones that escaped from the slave trade in Jamaica were not slaves they escaped it. Jamaica fought back and they did not have have creoles it was native Indians that lived there. lots of lies in this story.
I'm an old British veteran. Born (1958) and brought up in East London. I had friends from African families. Never witnessed any racism. As I grew older, I became aware of racism, even more so in other countries. It shouldn't matter where you were born, your nationality, skin colour or religion. Everyone deserves respect and kindness. I'm sorry for those who have suffered this evil, and I'm angered by those who lived wealthy lives by being so evil.
Don't miss the movie "Belle" (with Tom Wilkinson as Lord Mansfield) in which part of this story is told.
David J Gill
Yes I’ve seen it
I think it was from in one of the films I’ve learnt that the slaves were named after their owners. This idea spread into Asian countries too and those who took children of poor people as servants, renamed the servants.
My heart stopped when I heard my grandmother last name. William Beckford could be my ancestors too. My Lord the wickedness
What I know is that they were and still are afraid. This man is saying ,he doesn't think there is much point in looking back and saying his family was dreadful, or anything like that. It's not because others were or are doing a particular think, means you can do and that makes it right. These people.
