Very good question. Same thing happened with the slaves in Brazil.not only taking care of the children, but also breastfeeding them.How would you late someone who you consider is beneath you and less of a Human to breastfeed your child?lol
We get to see a brief second of their life. Just imagine the daily life as soon after the picture was took, from the noises, smells & language. What the conversation was like talking about us in this future. Truly a sight to see.
You actually can't own a person. You can only believe you do and enforce it by laws of man. It's so unnatural and most cultures did it through time, and modern day slavery has a different face but is just as wicked.
@@eduardogutierrezcastillo2767 slavery in the Bible stories wasn't the same as slavery in America. In the Bible, people became slaves for a period of time to pay off their debts or to live a comfortable lifestyle. Also, slaves could not be hurt, killed or abused, otherwise the "owner" had to be punished for it.
This brought tears to my eyes because I know they didn’t like being slaves but needed to work. It makes you realize more that we as black ppl today we have the opportunity to avoid modern day slavery and racism by uplifting and educating ourselves, living a healthy life and knowing our self worth.
I’m so sorry but I have to disagree. I believe without money; what will they do? We’re be just find!!! We’ve never had it and we’re still here! Money is “it” to them. Strength, Resilience, Depth, Empathy, Pride, Love, Faith is “it” to us. ✊🏾
Am from Africa living in US. I could imagine the hardships those black Americans have been facing since that slavery time. I might be wrong but I feel like the only way we could break is through education. Let’s value ourself. Let’s be determined and disciplined enough to be a better person. As I told you i am from Africa. I haven’t been through the way the Africa American gone through. But I have one and one goal when I move o USA. To be better than I was before. I had no money, no family. But I had that big dream, to go to school be better than anyone around me/ black or white. Now I work with white people getting paid a decent amount of salary and living my best life. Long story short, change starts from us/ individual change is important. Regardless of the hardship, discrimination and all that still your dream is valuable! Dream big! Avoid that drug addiction life. Go to school, never quit and go get your dream life.
These pictures are so heartbreaking. You can see the anger in their eyes knowing none of this is right, but also see their pursed lips because they aren’t allowed to say anything. Awful. I’m so sorry anybody ever had to go through this. I could never imagine the pain that slavery caused.
Almost all of these are long after slavery was abolished and they are not slaves. These are just random pictures of white people with black people, most of them. A basic knowledge of photography and the history of fashion tells you when these were made, some of these aren't even 19th century.
@coy kehoe They were called "democrats" but they were more like the modern republican party. Communism didn't even exist back when the slave trade started donkey.
F. Lyall long winded bs. Bottom line is people of all shades have always and will always do wrong to others. Humans are inherently bad. You are as well. Your phone uses coltan, mined in africa by enslaved children. Not tossing that in the trash though. Human history is all bad. These are just a few photos of a tiny portion in time.
@@M.S.G- Black people as such don't need any defending. Black people who are complaining about past events like slavery need to grow up and take their lives into their own hands.
Heathcliff you seem a little bothered by us black people educated you on what actually went down in the past we are gonna keep bringing it up because there are still racist people out there and that’s not up for you a “white” person to decide so I suggest you to stay quiet sir/ma’am 🤔🤔😌
Many of these pictures don’t depict American slaves at all… many were obviously taken decades after slavery ended based on their clothing, or are pictures of Africans in colonial British Africa (1:51). Some are of wealthy free black families and many others are of sharecroppers. For example, 2:35 is “Dr. George and Mary Turfley and family, c. 1900 George Turfley, the first registered African-American physician in Allegheny County.” The video is filled with misinformation and not a single image is cited.
Sharecroppers, you mean the unlawful practice of taking advantage of vagrancy laws by purchasing an otherwise free man through debt and forcing him to work or kill him? Goodness dude.
@MTR Mums and dads have done this type of play with their toddlers for generations. King George III used to let his children ride around on his back when they were little just like this!
Who among us have never experienced a ride on the back of a family friend or relative at one time or another. Though slaves, human nature compels human beings to intimately interact with one another on multiple levels.

I just can’t help but feel a slight pain when I see part of this history. Nothing but respect for the amazing folks who endured so much, much more than we can ever imagine. I don’t qualify to say anything more.
I bet when I look through this comment section I'll see nothing but respectful comments. Nobody will be saying anything racist about anyone, it'll all just be people being kind to each other, and having civil conversations on the things they disagree on.
What can you possibly disagree about on a past event that is factual? Lol Black people suffered horribly. That's a 100% fact. The comment section should be basic discussion and reflection, like any history book you read. It shouldn't be people posting revisionist history or arguing,. That's a total disrespect to the dead.
+Gary Daniel Stop saying "many". Because I know about world history and how various people in various civilizations of various stripes have known pain. This video is not focused on MANY. It's focused on a specific group so stop using stupid reflection and focus ON THE SUBJECT MATTER. Don't talk to me about the Barbary Slave TRade, about Roman slavery, about any of the millions of things I already know about. Because it has nothing to do with the video. *Stop deflecting.* The vidoe explicitly states these are *slave families*--which were composed of the actual slaves and the families that owned them. Not all were American since obviously African slavery existed throughout the Americas, in the Caribbean and Latin America and Europe historically. I'm generally curious to know what would motivate you to downplay slavery personally? What is your agenda exactly? Do you dislike people of colour that badly that you'd take the past from them? Do you honestly believe black people magically showed up on the western hemisphere, and suddenly just...exist today? Lol. That they had it so wonderful and grand across the board? Put it this way: even your most succesful black person in the 17th/18th/19th/early 20th centuy in America or western society in general was still, in many ways, limited, and pushed down due to the social and overall poltiical structure of society. And you know, racism/prejudice. That was fact. I'm not talking about today. You cna spew any kind of nonsense you want to about the present, but in the historical past, being black was not such a good position to have for obvious reasons. So it's not an 'over-simplication'. It's fact. Do you want cited proof of this? And posing for pictures properly was customary for the time. It does not indicate at all the actual suffering they went through. People looked cozy and comfortable for the cameras, that was it. The reality of slavery is well documented, not just by former slaves themselves but whites who witnessed it (and who practiced it within their families). So stop this already. Stop trying to 'redeem' slavery when history disagrees with you.
Hardcore Vegitals :( I know it’s horrible all those lovely people never truly lived life most of them anyways some were given to good slave owners if lucky not all people were messed up back then at least thankfully bless those who were unfortunate so tragic and unbelievable 😔
During the Japanese Chinese war the Japanese soldiers would take Chinese babies, throw them up in the air and catch them on their bayonets. Some Native American tribes would skin the people they captured and make them eat their skin, Maya priests in the city of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan peninsula sacrificed children to petition the gods for rain and fertile fields by throwing them into sacred sinkhole caves, known as “cenotes.”
I don't see anybody mistreated in these pictures they even entrusted their children to them lol the Turks didn't even take pictures with the Slavs who they enslaved...

Patricia Burgess thanks Patricia. Yea I thought about dating outside my race. But I love me so much I love my hair, skin, food. I couldn't deprive my children of melanin. But those that do good luck.

The woman at 0:15 is Stagecoach Mary, btw. Emancipated from slavery around the age of 30 and became "the first African-American female star-route mail carrier in the United States." I highly recommend her Wikipedia page; she had a very interesting life.
I may never understand why people hate other races. I only see what's under peoples skin and that's their heart and their true personality. I use to get sad because so many people hated my race and I tried everything I could to "fit in". I just hope the world gets better one...one day
If you read the book "Political Ponerology", you will understand, why. Knowledge is power. This book is about the human nature, and hard to read. Please have some good friend to talk about it. But the ending is very good.
Some of the photos it seemed like they were part of the family and I was surprised on how well dressed some were. A very strange time in American history.
It was a status to own slave... just like owning a good breed of dog... Don't read any family shit into this. Look at how unhappy their eyes are. Hopelessness. These bastards were just showing off their properties.
Some slaves were given better clothes, food, and treated better. Plenty of other people gave them little to no clothing, food, water, ect., and we're overworked. It's sad.
Part of the family? More like part of the happy picture, then back to getting whipped, tortured, and some in this photo might have gotten killed by their their " owners" for all we know.
Woman with gun is not a slave she was a very famous stage coach person and mail person she was tough women and got paid to ride through dangerous routs first. Black woman to do it smoked a pipe
Joe look that shit up Jamie Rogan yes exactly. Very sad that people want to destroy the history of actual accomplishments to fit their narrative. It's racist to assume that because of somebody's skin colour they didn't achieve a lot in their time. I honestly don't get that perspective
Ummmm WW2 The American Revolution the civil war WW1 Mexican American war Texas Revolution Maybe when men were charging to there deaths on the beaches of normandy to save The world from Evil or when they raised the flag over Iwo Jima defeating two of the most EVIL empires that have ever existed to save this world from Tyranny must I go on?

Too hard for me to watch...these people facial expressions show how depressed they were and it's extremely sad. I almost got angry but I let that go but the expression sticks with me.
Terri Sargent I am in no shape or form saying that slavery was/is right. But in the Victorian era people did not smile during pictures as the process took so long. Edit:and it was seen as vulgar
I think a number of these photos don't depict slaves but servants, and others are clearly portraits of free black families. Certain photos appear to have been taken after the civil war. You can tell by the clothing, along with the style of photography, that they're from a slightly later period after slavery was ended. There are some that may very well depict black people as slaves, of course, but not all of them do, IMO.
TWrecks Actually no you're completely wrong. They were well fed and needed to be kept healthy. Why spend all that money on a slave and treat em like shit? Thats like buying a tractor and running it without oil. Doesn't make sense. Obviously when you're dealing with humans there's going to be some abuse their, but that wasn't the standard like you think. In fact some slaves were treated as respected members of the family. I know it sounds crazy, but white ppl aren't complete monsters.
Kazimir 3316 Are you serious right now? A slave was treated like a slave. There was no well fed or well kept treatment. The slave owners job was to mentally destroy the slave so he couldn’t rebel. Slave owner put the highest fear into slaves and stripped them of any dignity or character they had. Yes there were house slaves but they were not free from the whip at all
Rest in peace to all who passed because of this, and best wishes to those who are alive but had/have to endure this. It's hard to put my thoughts in to words honestly. I'm not black and have not nor do I think I will ever experience the torture black people went and go through.. the strength it must take to even walk past a white person may not be as scary as it used to be for every black person but it still exists today. I wish you all the best
God bless all Africans out there, hope u all have a good life, my cousins have an Ethiopian nanny and she’s just amazing, so sweet and playful, they never laid a hand on her and always gave her her check right, I felt like she was my second mother and was always excited to see her, If only they treated them well in the past, how nice life would be. Hope you all live a good happy life, love from the uae.
So, some of these pictures are NOT of slaves. There is one picture of students in Tuskegee Institute around 1920. I believe slavery ended before that. SMH

Obama was 10 times the man the Trumptard is. Drumpf (his real family name) is a bigoted piece of human excrement. He is the biggest idiot we've ever had in the White House. Obama taught constitutional law. Drumpf thinks you need a photo ID to buy groceries, and he thinks health insurance costs 15$ a year. He also thought Andrew Jackson was angry about the civil war, which happened 16 years AFTER Jackson died. Essentially, Drumpf supporters aren't even smart enough to realize how stupid they are.

But in any case, Lincoln would've been a president sometime right before or during the platforms switching, which means he would be considered Democrat in today's time, even if he upheld views that pertained to both sides. (If that boggles your mind, think of it like this: the ones who advocate for equality today are known as Democrats - Lincoln advocated for equality. It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp.)
Kimber Leann Where the fuck did you hear that? People who were wealthier dressed their slaves up because their appearance influenced the way people saw that family. Even after it was abolished people still had slaves. Educate yourself. Stop trying to justify disgusting truths.
Kimber Leann okay, i apoligise. It just sounds like alot of people try trying to justify slavery. Instead of saying, look. We did these thing, these happened, they wernt right, lets move on. Thats the only way to change will happen. 👍 Depending on how the owner wanted their slaves to come across, they dressed them accordingly.
No, no need to apologise, I shouldn't accept random info without first researching it to see if it was true and it does sound like some of the commenters are justifying it.

Elaina Williams I wondered about that one too. It took me a while to find it. The photo was taken in 1862 and the two men had escorted her from Kentucky, where she had escaped slavery, to Ohio. She was just a teenager. Before leaving her at their friend's home, they took that picture together.
Thanks,..very interesting. Looking at the photo again, I would imagine those men felt that they were bad ass radicals for what they were doing at the time, hence the pose. The woman looks amazingly calm.
Elaina Williams They probably did. She could be exhausted...or scared. She was still young and she was on her own except for the strangers who were helping her.
I agree...I'm sure the journey was very frightening for those who suddenly had to rely on strangers. I can only imagine the transition. I admire their endurance.

I don’t understand why it is that when I watch a video on slavery there are always comments stating to get over it and it’s in the past, I don’t see these same comments for any other moment in history. Can we not just accept that it’s a moment in history that’s disgusting and horrible, and be respectful.

This brought tears to my eyes because I know they didn’t like being slaves but needed to work. It makes you realize more that we as black ppl today we have the opportunity to avoid modern day slavery and racism by uplifting and educating ourselves, living a healthy life and knowing our self worth.
Preach sister 🙌
I’m so sorry but I have to disagree. I believe without money; what will they do? We’re be just find!!! We’ve never had it and we’re still here! Money is “it” to them. Strength, Resilience, Depth, Empathy, Pride, Love, Faith is “it” to us. ✊🏾
But they dont look like they are sad at all, in fact they seem to be part of the family, in the same way that a dog or a cat can be nowadays
Am from Africa living in US. I could imagine the hardships those black Americans have been facing since that slavery time. I might be wrong but I feel like the only way we could break is through education. Let’s value ourself. Let’s be determined and disciplined enough to be a better person. As I told you i am from Africa. I haven’t been through the way the Africa American gone through. But I have one and one goal when I move o USA. To be better than I was before. I had no money, no family. But I had that big dream, to go to school be better than anyone around me/ black or white. Now I work with white people getting paid a decent amount of salary and living my best life. Long story short, change starts from us/ individual change is important. Regardless of the hardship, discrimination and all that still your dream is valuable! Dream big! Avoid that drug addiction life. Go to school, never quit and go get your dream life.

These pictures are so heartbreaking. You can see the anger in their eyes knowing none of this is right, but also see their pursed lips because they aren’t allowed to say anything. Awful. I’m so sorry anybody ever had to go through this.

Almost all of these are long after slavery was abolished and they are not slaves. These are just random pictures of white people with black people, most of them. A basic knowledge of photography and the history of fashion tells you when these were made, some of these aren't even 19th century.

Many of these pictures don’t depict American slaves at all… many were obviously taken decades after slavery ended based on their clothing, or are pictures of Africans in colonial British Africa (1:51). Some are of wealthy free black families and many others are of sharecroppers. For example, 2:35 is “Dr. George and Mary Turfley and family, c. 1900
George Turfley, the first registered African-American physician in Allegheny County.” The video is filled with misinformation and not a single image is cited.
Sharecroppers, you mean the unlawful practice of taking advantage of vagrancy laws by purchasing an otherwise free man through debt and forcing him to work or kill him?
Goodness dude.

Stop saying "many". Because I know about world history and how various people in various civilizations of various stripes have known pain. This video is not focused on MANY. It's focused on a specific group so stop using stupid reflection and focus ON THE SUBJECT MATTER. Don't talk to me about the Barbary Slave TRade, about Roman slavery, about any of the millions of things I already know about. Because it has nothing to do with the video. *Stop deflecting.*
The vidoe explicitly states these are *slave families*--which were composed of the actual slaves and the families that owned them. Not all were American since obviously African slavery existed throughout the Americas, in the Caribbean and Latin America and Europe historically.
I'm generally curious to know what would motivate you to downplay slavery personally? What is your agenda exactly? Do you dislike people of colour that badly that you'd take the past from them? Do you honestly believe black people magically showed up on the western hemisphere, and suddenly just...exist today? Lol.
That they had it so wonderful and grand across the board? Put it this way: even your most succesful black person in the 17th/18th/19th/early 20th centuy in America or western society in general was still, in many ways, limited, and pushed down due to the social and overall poltiical structure of society. And you know, racism/prejudice.
That was fact.
I'm not talking about today. You cna spew any kind of nonsense you want to about the present, but in the historical past, being black was not such a good position to have for obvious reasons. So it's not an 'over-simplication'. It's fact. Do you want cited proof of this?
And posing for pictures properly was customary for the time. It does not indicate at all the actual suffering they went through. People looked cozy and comfortable for the cameras, that was it. The reality of slavery is well documented, not just by former slaves themselves but whites who witnessed it (and who practiced it within their families). So stop this already. Stop trying to 'redeem' slavery when history disagrees with you.
Where did you found these pictures?

During the Japanese Chinese war the Japanese soldiers would take Chinese babies, throw them up in the air and catch them on their bayonets. Some Native American tribes would skin the people they captured and make them eat their skin, Maya priests in the city of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan peninsula sacrificed children to petition the gods for rain and fertile fields by throwing them into sacred sinkhole caves, known as “cenotes.”

Some of the photos it seemed like they were part of the family and I was surprised on how well dressed some were. A very strange time in American history.
I was thinking the same thing....I surmise that including them in family photos made them feel they weren't participating in an inhumane practice.
It was a status to own slave... just like owning a good breed of dog... Don't read any family shit into this. Look at how unhappy their eyes are. Hopelessness. These bastards were just showing off their properties.
Some slaves were given better clothes, food, and treated better. Plenty of other people gave them little to no clothing, food, water, ect., and we're overworked. It's sad.
And even worse is when people say it was in the past. If we don't learn history we're destined to repeat it. I also believe we need to know.
Part of the family? More like part of the happy picture, then back to getting whipped, tortured, and some in this photo might have gotten killed by their their " owners" for all we know.
Woman with gun is not a slave she was a very famous stage coach person and mail person she was tough women and got paid to ride through dangerous routs first. Black woman to do it smoked a pipe

Terri Sargent no one smiled back then. It was custom to look that way for anyone taking pictures at the time.
Terri Sargent I am in no shape or form saying that slavery was/is right. But in the Victorian era people did not smile during pictures as the process took so long.
Edit:and it was seen as vulgar
Rarely did anyone smile for photos in that time period.
I think a number of these photos don't depict slaves but servants, and others are clearly portraits of free black families. Certain photos appear to have been taken after the civil war. You can tell by the clothing, along with the style of photography, that they're from a slightly later period after slavery was ended. There are some that may very well depict black people as slaves, of course, but not all of them do, IMO.
Yeah slaves definitely did not wear suits and ties they were treated like shit.
TWrecks Actually no you're completely wrong. They were well fed and needed to be kept healthy. Why spend all that money on a slave and treat em like shit? Thats like buying a tractor and running it without oil. Doesn't make sense.
Obviously when you're dealing with humans there's going to be some abuse their, but that wasn't the standard like you think. In fact some slaves were treated as respected members of the family. I know it sounds crazy, but white ppl aren't complete monsters.
It makes no difference who you vote for if they have all been picked already.
Who murdered Gaddafi, because none of that was going on in Libya while he was alive?
Kazimir 3316 Are you serious right now? A slave was treated like a slave. There was no well fed or well kept treatment. The slave owners job was to mentally destroy the slave so he couldn’t rebel. Slave owner put the highest fear into slaves and stripped them of any dignity or character they had. Yes there were house slaves but they were not free from the whip at all
Rest in peace to all who passed because of this, and best wishes to those who are alive but had/have to endure this. It's hard to put my thoughts in to words honestly. I'm not black and have not nor do I think I will ever experience the torture black people went and go through.. the strength it must take to even walk past a white person may not be as scary as it used to be for every black person but it still exists today. I wish you all the best

They looked much darker, similar to their relatives back in Africa. They looked lost, shocked, and just different.
The vast majority of these photos were taken long after slavery was abolished. Most are from 1880 - 1900.
That date you mentioned the date slavery come in my country. 1880-1960
And your country is? Because this is labeled "African American."
Kimber Leann Where the fuck did you hear that? People who were wealthier dressed their slaves up because their appearance influenced the way people saw that family. Even after it was abolished people still had slaves. Educate yourself. Stop trying to justify disgusting truths.
Kimber Leann okay, i apoligise. It just sounds like alot of people try trying to justify slavery. Instead of saying, look. We did these thing, these happened, they wernt right, lets move on. Thats the only way to change will happen. 👍 Depending on how the owner wanted their slaves to come across, they dressed them accordingly.
No, no need to apologise, I shouldn't accept random info without first researching it to see if it was true and it does sound like some of the commenters are justifying it.
Still can’t believe that stuff like this was legal for so long 😤😤
PLEASE REMEMBER TO REMEMBER ESPECIALLY BLACK MEN RAISING MIXED RACE CHILDREN.
Sadly slavery still exists 😞 it's a huge problem in Libya rn
It’s even worse that they used bible verse to defend slavery they took the verse out of contex to make it seem like it was okay even tho god would not like that at all
There’s slavery in Africa today but I don’t hear anybody making remarks about that.
@Tatt Bass There is numbers of people that’s were cheated out of free labor even today. There’s a few people that still owes me money from twenty years ago. It’s the past and it’s gone.
I would love to see all the people in the comment section say what they're saying in real life, not behind a screen like a bunch of cowards
Why because you sensitive bitches can't even take criticism, who cares if someone offends you, it's not a reason to go to jail dumbass. If someone doesn't like you, owe fucking well, quit being such a crybaby.

You're generalizing, not all black people are always angry and can't take criticism dude. Please elaborate in what you mean because their are some nasty comments in this section of the video. You can't just ignore that man :/
NO YOU ARE, I never said black people, but thanks for pointing that out. The truth hurts some people...
BETTER THAN YOUR FAVORITE ACTION STAR RIGHT
Dont worry brother.. it is Internet.. in Real life these guys are maybe fat and virgin.. Shoutout to the Whites with respect.. ✌🏻.
No one ever deserves this. No matter race, religion, language, we are all people. I hope their souls are now resting in peace.
What's with the photo of the two white men with guns and the black woman sitting in the middle???
Elaina Williams I wondered about that one too. It took me a while to find it. The photo was taken in 1862 and the two men had escorted her from Kentucky, where she had escaped slavery, to Ohio. She was just a teenager. Before leaving her at their friend's home, they took that picture together.
Thanks,..very interesting. Looking at the photo again, I would imagine those men felt that they were bad ass radicals for what they were doing at the time, hence the pose. The woman looks amazingly calm.
Elaina Williams They probably did. She could be exhausted...or scared. She was still young and she was on her own except for the strangers who were helping her.
I agree...I'm sure the journey was very frightening for those who suddenly had to rely on strangers. I can only imagine the transition. I admire their endurance.
Elaina Williams they were executed
The sadness in their eyes 😭

That’s ironic since you have Abraham Lincoln in your pfp when he owned tons of slaves

for those saying these people were “only servants”, take a look at the field hands at 1:46 and come back to me
I can feel my body temperature going up watching this bull shit.
BLM 1863 nice, your opinion though
@George Washington Sharecropping started in the 1870s to the 1950s & exploited Former slaves and poor white farmers. They were trapped in a new system of economic exploitation! Large landowners took advantage of them. Majority of Sharecroppers stayed in debt to the lands owner because crops would fail for different reasons. It was a vicious cycle of control & poverty just to try & put a little food on the table.
@George Washington spoken like the moronic savage you are, it is in your nature to deny your ancestors savagery to mankind but know this for sure, the sins of the past is past down to your own children.
A A fax! that person’s ancestors were probably slaveowners, hes just trying to protect them.
Theres a great amount of sadness and exhaustion in all of their faces
Fun fact: Not the whole of Africa is living with poverty most of as live in normal houses we live normal lives we don't leave on trees and most of as have plenty of food so not all what you hear and see is totally true:)Please like it took long👍😂

This is so painful to watch and even more painful to read some of the vile, hateful, racist comments. 😔😔

This is true. But it probably wasn't good for her, unfortunately
The fact they took cared of the babies and yet it was a crime for them to use the same utensils or anything else was a crime still amazes me.
Like wow
The fact you have such a tiny amount of knowledge of historical fashion and photography, and can't see the fact that most of these photographs are from long after slavery ended, and aren't of slaves astonishes me.
We are all beautifully and wonderfully made.Let's love each other just as Christ loved the church.We are all equal in the eyes of God.
No white people are beneath everyone else, as demonstrated by their actions. I’m sure god would agree. He is not deaf or blind. He sees our suffering, inflicted by Europeans, he knows who is the cause. To call us equals,is to call us demons and we haven’t done all this demonic hell to you. To even make the comment you just did is demonic. Our ancestors entire lives were taken, and our nation is occupied by Europeans and all but destroyed and you want us to see you as equals? You are sick and delusional.
@@sekhmetnubian1020 Bruh you're acting like every european nation had taken part in black slavery. While black slavery was happening my country was enslaved by the turks and we were fighting against them.Im greek btw
You realise that slavery still goes on today and it’s mostly in Africa, tribesman sold off their slaves to Europe and America in the 1800s
How about donkey?
Sekhmet Nubian that’s racist as hell the first slaves were white People back in Arabian parts of Asia and white people suffered more in the trenches of world war 1 and 2
What's the story behind the one at 2:22 ? She's dressed better than those two guys and it's strange they're posing with guns.
All of these pictures are not slave family photos, you need to be more accurate in your title, as it is misleading indeed!

You know what they say ignorance is bliss, that's why I didn't bother to reply to his ignorant ass lol;-)
Jon Tousaint you're all idiots for even mentioning where you live in a public forum. There's nothing manly about playing keyboard warrior and then chicken with what I presume are fake addresses.
badGood+Similar to your forefathers taking cocaine and Opioids of the era to eradicate manic episodes of unfettered guilt...same today also. Escapism of the fugitive.
I'm sitting back, reading these comments. I see a young brother with a foul mouth. I see some racist people. Making so many messed up comments. White people: Y'all have no place to speak on things that should be corrected within the so called black community. Let us correct the issues of our people. And don't come at me with no "well, when will that correction take place" nonsense. The mind of us darker skinned people has been destroyed and polluted thanks to you Europeans. To my brothers and sisters: y'all stop giving them a reason to get on here and act a plum fool. They're looking to get a reaction out of you. They're not worth the effort, bruh. Let's work on us, then deal with them after. But how can we deal with them, when we are on different accords??? You see what I mean?
It just disgusts me that there are people who still believe this was the way society should be
OZZ go read the comments here if you need proof they exist. It’s all out there for everyone to see on any video or article online about this. Disgusting vile human beings. They disgrace the name “human”.
eye market
Please don't go to the racist gutter that way. By doing this you just give the bigots more ammunition. Why not take the high road?
+DFS54 lice have turn the white man's scalp into their own personal Paradise!!! lol
You're a complete idiot. People do not think the U.S. should still be this way. Take your BLM bullshit and GTFO.
@F Lyall Oh for goodness sake, I said slavery still exits today, always has. Every race and creed has enslaved their own or those of another group. Its abhorrent, but we can never change our history or make amends to those who suffered from it, and we do them no justice whilst we still allow slavery to continue to this day, and it does, and what do any of us do about it ? Nothing..We spend more time talking about the cruelty of the past whilst ignoring our very own behaviours of today.
Just watch the video and leave. Don't give trolls and losers the time of day or your energy.
Funny. You just did, in a way.
it’s crazy that as a black woman I search for myself in these photos knowing one of these beautiful people may have been my direct ancestor!

Truly heartbreaking video. I love the beautiful dark skin on African women just something about it drives me crazy. Sistas are so beautiful why did they have to go through this? One day justice will be served and they will have to answer to Jesus on the throne for this. Stay strong beautiful african brothers
Might be because their own people sold them into slavery.
I could be wrong though, BUT I'm not.........
Oh great an attempt at empathy for black women and it has to be sexual for some reason. If it isn’t racial discrimination then it’s sexual discrimination for women.
@@spongeboob8046 I am in awe with how beautiful black women are.... I didn't say not one sexual thing, dude. In normal society it is 'okay' to compliment a woman on how beautiful she looks and not sound like a perv. I do it all the time to sistas and they like it. Just because a guy says a girl is beautiful doesn't mean he's a perv
@@priusgame1178 In your original comment you wrote their 'dark skin' 'drives you crazy'. You ain't foolin anyone and you're not a woman so I don't think you can definitively say what is okay with women to say to them. Would you want women to decide what is okay to say to men? Also, these are pictures of slaves. You look at pictures of people in slavery and the thing you wanna say is how good they look?
@@spongeboob8046 funny thing is I've said the dark skin comment to my good brotha and sista friends in person and they didn't seem to say anything. Then I've said it to more brothas and sista strangers and they didn't seem to say anything about it. As for pointing out true beauty of women in a video of slavery you are just being negative nancy about things. I pointed out the true beauty of the very reason they were looked down on. It is not like i pointed out parts of their body to drool over. I feel sorry for you if people compliment you and you don't receive it the way it was intended to be.
There is so much history in these photos and you ran through them so quickly that I could hardly process what I was looking at maybe a little more time for each photo would be better.
Too many damn edgy teenagers in this comment section.

Ahh yes, enslaving a whole entire race from a different continent is indeed intriguing.

Trump Folk/Punk But I didn't even mention anything about race. It still doesn't relate to me making a sarcastic comnent? Honestly, not all stereotypes are true; and overall majority of a stereotype doesn't refer to everyone of that race.

Basil Lomanchenko that's first thing I thought,she so beautiful!!I wish I knew what her life was like...was she mistreated?maybe some times but mostly not?I know that was bad times but I've read a lot slave stories passed down that everything wasn't all bad with everyone,some had harder jobs,some easier and slaves were not raped as much as it has been said.i heard it more often that slaves argued over who would get to be the masters lover for they could get favors of sm gifts and easier jobs and light skin children.anyway,I hope her well...
I don’t understand why it is that when I watch a video on slavery there are always comments stating to get over it and it’s in the past, I don’t see these same comments for any other moment in history. Can we not just accept that it’s a moment in history that’s disgusting and horrible, and be respectful. It’s my history and it’s not something that I should have to forget, or ‘lighten up’ on, because I don’t expect anyone else to do that when it comes to their history. Great video overall, very insightful. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My heart goes out to them. Some never experienced a day of freedom. Born enslaved, only ever met enslaved parents, and only gave birth to enslaved kids. A serious case of man's inhumanity to man.
Rest on, my ancestral aunts and uncles. Your Igbo great great grand kid sends his respects
It’s so sad how broken and defeated their faces were. Being forced to do the will of others is terrible.
