  1. Muslims killed 15 million African slaves did you know that 🤔
    African people sold more of their own people than the rest of the world put together
    There is more slaves in Africa now than there ever has been
    If it wasn't for the UK there would still be African slaves everywhere
    Did you know this 🤔
    Men, women, and children were captured to such a devastating extent that vast numbers of sea coast towns were abandoned. According to Robert Davis, between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and Ottoman Empire between the 15th and 19th centuries.

  2. 3:083:25 slave traders church above male slave dangeon. Sometimes the slave trade story shakes my christian faith especially this went on for centuaries. Someone actually slave trade was not abolished for the good of an african, too many had crossed the atlantic and were becoming a potential political force should they fight for their human rights. Africa would have become what Israel is to America.

  3. PLEASE BE CLEAR‼️

    The Enslaved built ALL of these structures‼️ When Enslaver's went to Africa to procures "specific African's" as slave's to Labor and build these European Nation's, Enslaver's knew exactly who they were coming for and they knew the "skills" of the African's they kidnapped.

    I watched Dr. Louis Gates documentary about enslaved African's in the Caribbean and South America. Dr. Gate's met with a historian, I can't remember if she was a Puerto Rican or Cuban historian; but that very first building in your opening looks like it is in Puerto Rico or Cuba… I can't remember? Anyways, the historian explained, that very building was built by the enslaved. They were forced to dive under the water to build the foundation of the Castle, if they drowned while under water, the Enslaver's just moved on without care and brought in slaves to complete the foundation into the final completion of the castle.

    Don't give the European's any credit in building ANY of those historical castle's. I am convinced SLAVE'S built those structures. Slave's built London Bridge, Big Ben of GRB, and the White House of USA. Unless you can show me pictures of who built these structures. 😊

  4. Since around 2500 BC the Mulsim slave trade had been taking slaves from East and North Africa (Indian Ocean slave trade). Millions upon millions were enslaved. Yet, I cant find any documentaries on this? Why?

  5. touch those whom thinks they are untouched in europe those whom are linked to the trace of the horse in europe !! touch the untouched !! those whom attach themselves with the trace of the horse

  6. Yet another Hollywood-centered video that misses the elephant in the room. Most slaves during the last 400 years were white. The stats are quoted in the chapter on the slavery in the USSR of When History Had Other Plans.

  7. Brits Colonists accused Jesus Christ being Anglicized, Arabic Slavery and Currently Ramized Casteists All Render Religions Devoid of Spiritually Any Soul's?!

  8. Why does the BBC never taik about modern slavery today in Africa where there is a larger number enslaved then back in 1700 during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade? Now, the Arab Muslim slave Trade lasted 1300 where they had the practice of double castrating young boys and just killing the men. Yet, we don't have BBC documentaries of 1300 of Arab Muslim Slavery whereas they talk endlessly about 300 years of Trans-Atlantic slavery. Does this make any sense to you?
