As an African, i can tell you that some of the names are African names from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra loane and present day Liberia. The name Mandinga, Biafra and Congo are Africans
Wow brother this is mind blowing truth!!! My father would always tell me things about the Dr but because I was so influence by the Afro centrist growing up I always thought he was lying about certain things , and now I’m coming to find out he wasn’t lying! The Spanish colony of Santo Domingo didn’t have no Jim Crow laws or code noire like Haiti, no sex farms like us etc , white, mixed ,and blacks people working together in ports . Also hospitals, schools, courts, churches, and even went to war I believe against the English buccaneers the entire colony fought , because we were independent and had developed a good relationship with iberian decendants and like you mentioned the noble pacts done and this was going on for 100s of years after those early decade stages of its development. brother I’m actually offended that these Afro centrist tried to make us feel bad for who we are and the fact that we love all aspects of our culture and it doesn’t have to be one sided just because they said!!!!
Thanks for the feedback, very insightful, and yes... there's a conspiracy against the Dominican republic due to the fact that Dominicans refuse to engage in the "black/white" race politics that the united states tries to impose.
So why do so many Dominicans look down on the darker Dominicans ?? I hate when you Dominicans act like you don't have colorism in your country,its uter bs
@@akindele13Nah we don’t. Because even within our own families we have different shades. That black/white is purely and American made product. Keep us out of it.
We dominicans know we have sfrican blood we just don't like when afro Americans act like there teaching us something we know & just looking for negative things to say about us & they need to be called out for it

TH-cam suggested me this video today and you won a new subscriber. Thank you very much for the great work. I have trying to find my African ancestors that came to the Dominican Republic during the colonization and this surnames list is a good start point. Where can I find the whole surname list?
Hi, very interesting document, it is said that the vast mayority of enslaved people brought to the hispaniola island were from the canary islands, slaves that spoke spanish already and did not tried to escape from their masters,it is also said that spaniards do not broguht so many slaves directly from africa. This may explain why the were not that many revolts in the eastern part of the island.
Also brother David , the Cocolo migration in the late 18th and early 19th century is important to note , coming from the lesser Antilles islands as they came free to work and mainly resided in San Pedro de macoris, La romana, puerto plata and samana , Most assimilated to the DR culture , and is one of the reasons why the DR got more color later on, that’s very important in understanding that many people don’t know !!
@@ccu881 the reason for the comment is to show the haters that there's been quote on quote black migration to the DR , which destroys the false narratives the haters have out there
When you take color and names away and look at body structure and genetic build up, Africa has a heavy presence in the D.R. South American natives body structure is more short and square
Man I’m late to your channel but if you have an IG please drop it. I feel the need to link with you because I feel like I was alone I doing Antilles research. Thank you family from 🇯🇲
Great video bro!!! Arda, Angola (Angela), Mingola , Mango, Fala all seem to have "Italian" origin. Bambo, Bambi, Bamba = Simpleton/Childish in Spanish The coverup of real authentic History is amazing. There's definitely a grand scheme to derail us from the truth
It’s unreal, ain’t it? I’m also amazed at how all the so called scholars are in cricket mode , they watching all the videos they so shocked and mad because of the false narratives of the history of that island !!
My last name is guzman, but, it s pretty obvious that we have african roots on my father side. You should have seen my late grandfather.. he was dark as midnight, I miss the old man..but, my question is what region of africa were dominican slaves taken from?
That's a good question and we don't think anybody knows for sure, but we do know many negroes, mulattos and Morenos were free and loyal to the Spanish Crown and Santo Domingo, the slave narrative is amplified too much when we talk about Spanish American history. not to mention many slaves of the French ran into the Spanish side of Hispaniola as well and became free
Wait, I’ve never heard of those surnames in DR. The only one shown is Castillo, which according to the documents he was a free slave. However, Castillo seems to be a Spanish surname, not African which makes sense cause he was a free slave, probably a mulatto.
I only know is that my great grand father came from moca(cibao) and there are white families whose last name is Guzman My guess is that my great, great grand father adopted his master last name after he was set free...what I am telling is pure speculation, but, given my grand father strong african features..that s the most reasonable explanation.. don t get me wrong I am proud of my african roots.specially only the strongest survived that terrible journey, meaning my ancestors were top dogs!😎
Nice topic fam , I been reading about cibao it had large influence of peninsula iberica people that incl. Portugal/Spain or Iberian Kingdom, my view an studies that I have done , alot of the files got destroyed by colonizers, it's large influence of Congo NGOLA in Santo Domingo, special with dancing similar to Angolan Congo they always dancing cause music was part of ceremony, we celebrate. The European Portuguesa an Spanish took the concept of saying we are praying wrong way an till today that it's in or DNA a black can turn white , but white can never turn black thanks alot from🇦🇴🇨🇻🇧🇷 to my distance relatives in Americas ASE✊🏿
I have 3 half sister their mother last name is Guzman and they're from moca but they are pretty much white, our father is from moca too but my father whole family has similar features as the Indians, they don't look white but they don't look black either
or maybe somebody of your ancestors get married with a white thats last name is guzman, remember diminicans history is not the same as african american history....
From my research, supposedly the number of African slaves began to skyrocket during the 1720s to the 1770s becuase Spanish and Dominican troops would journey out in the Caribbean sea and attack enemy ships, which included large numbers of African slaves. And if I'm not mistaken wasn't it around that time where the African slaves briefly consisted the majority of the Dominican population?
That's right, during that time period those enemy ships consisted of English and French pirates. But the point to the video is to point out those so called "African slaves" were most likely caribs that were already in the Caribbean and south America
Very little slaves were imported to DR.. you can find that information literally anywhere. That’s why there was not much slavery in DR and the Tainos were freely living in the island. There are Documents and even letters of communication between Tainos and Spanish ppl
@@kingofkings2858there’s many things stating that slaves occupied the whole island at some point but do to issues with money that Spain had at that current point in time a majority of the slaves were given to the French/ Haiti side of the island to be able to care more for their own people
@@itz_bizzy6847Damn, where do you people come up with this story. Why invent things, and what do you actually get out of this. There was no time in history that the entire island was occupied by just slaves. Not even when the haitians invaded DR for 22 years because the Dominicas were the mixture of the tainos, iberian and africans. France was an enemy to Spain and reason why the massacre river exist between Haiti and DR. Never in history did Spain give slaves to the French. It was the Devastation of Osorio in 1606 that left todays haiti unhabited and reason why france invaded. Heck Spain was forced to give the western side of the island in the Treaty of Ryswick becase the dominicans including the elites and maroons could not remove the french pirates as there were to many living their with their families. There's historical evidence from french historians and in the trans-atlantic slave trade database that dominicans with support of Spain seize vessels with slaves going to Saint Domingue and taking them to Santo Domingo/DR and offering them freedom and education just to spite the french.
@@kingofkings2858 let’s not forget the over one million Taino that were killed by the Spanish upon arrival, the Taino people were blended with the Spanish and with the slaves that were there which I think was less than the Spanish population due to the less need for slaves because DR was more of a pit stop for other Spanish conquistadores so all three races fused into one. But you mostly have dark skinned indios.
Between 1521 to 1812 , according to Atlantic slave trade, 250,000-300,000 slaves were imported to New Spain which is today's Mexico. At one point slaves population outnumbered Spaniards population.
@@jumboosisioma1748 possibly, but I don't go by popular slave trade websites and the mainstream narrative. If it can't be proven by a manuscript then I wouldn't trusted. Plus, during that time period you mentioned, Mexico was actually exporting thousands of slaves into the Caribbean, so I don't see them bringing in slaves all the way from west Africa when it was easier to bring in slaves from the Pacific ocean, not the Atlantic.
I know a person who thought they was of "African American" decent..when they did their GENEALOGY come to.find out they were Native American..their lineage started in NY and was taken sold as a slave sent to North Carolinas from the Carolina they lineage ended up in the Caribbean from the Caribbean brought to Angola Africa,then Brazil then finally ended up back in NORTH AMerica around Mississippi somewhere. First thing I thought of when I saw this video..slot of misclassification in our history and alot of lies told to us..Research has to be done.
@@KnightsTable wow, that's an amazing genealogy story... crazy thing is there's a whole history of native Americans being sent into Africa but gets no attention in mainstream academia
Interesting video... History can be distorted and biased based on who is writing it and who they favor more. Your narrative and the sources presented sounded like you were trying to minimize the African influence in DR. Nonetheless, thanks for the video. We can agree to disagree.
There's really nothing to minimize a lot of elements in Dominican culture are heavily intertwined with the Indigenous but especially Spaniard culture. DR also never had as much slaves as Haiti but it did have a migration of Anglo-Blacks in the 18th & 19th century.
@@crzyboy190 Mofongo is supposed to be fufu my guy, I'm of Dominican decent and know that plantains come from Africa. I hate the amount of disingenuous BS that comes from Dominicans when it comes to being black, I don't know why you'd want to have recessive genes in the first place or fight to have recessive genes. We truly are lost as a people.
That's interesting, it appears that these surnames originate from the Americas and not the surnames of African slaves as previously believed by historians.
@@HispaniolaHistoryChannelhistorians were right it literally took me two minutes to confirm and if you were more familiar with the country that exported the most slaves to Latin America you would already be familiar with the kingdom of loango

Hi, you have to understand that the white world made black people enslaved, and to maintain the economic system of slavery, they degrated the history and heritage of black people, so when haitian revolution succeded, white colonists demonized black people( see what Thomas Jefferson said about haitian independence) in other to prevent other blacks to emulate what happened in Haiti, having siad that, Dominicans do not and hate being compared with haitians, needless to say that the white world( France and USA) blocked the path and growth of haiti until this day...Haiti is the poorest country in America and i'm pretty sure you know who is responsible. So , i do understand dominicans trying to distance themselves from haiti.
Maybe it's your family. Most dominicans don't like to be called "blacks" because they feel they'll be denying their other roots/history such as the indigenous of the island by only claiming one race. They don't identify by their race but ethnicity unlike americans. They would rather be known as "dominicans" because its an identity of three different races mixed in one nation. Indigenous, spaninard and african. The biggest statue in DR most well known museum, Museo del hombre dominicano, is of Lemba one of the first and better known maroon. The other two are of Enriquillo( taino) and Bartolome de las Casas(spaniard) that serves as a symbol of how mixed we are.
They are the tribe of simeon the true hebrews of the bible the northern kingdom . And fit the curses of deuteronomy 28:15-68 the Gods chosen people the biblical israelites. Of royal descend
Not true AT ALL. You can literally find those documents anywhere. That was definitely Haiti… Spain did not want too many black in the island in contrast to France with Haiti using Africans as slaves.
@@kingofkings2858 You're right. The island governor Nicolas de Ovando and Diego Colombus even asked the crown for a couple of years to stop importation slaves for a while to the island as they were revolting and causing them too much trouble.
