It’s important to remember that the slave trade was legal in the Kongo Empire.
This event took place because an ambitious Portuguese Governor sought to conquer the region and enslave the people (making a lot of profit). At the time Kongo was powerful and so there were consequences for that.
I highly recommend the Journal articles from John Thornton. He has done a lot of great work on the Kongo empire.
The African King? He was the king of the whole of Africa?
🫡👑🇧🇷
As in Haiti, what has happened to Congo today and where do we stand.
The history they tried to hide to no avail
awesome story telling and great editing. Subscribed!!
The weaponization of Christianity was such a shame. Instead of bringing the Goodnews that they ought to have brought they brought Chaos and destruction.
So proud bein MuKongo from 🇦🇴🇨🇬
Proud of the Congo. I trace my roots from South Africa going up to Zimbabwe and then the Congo, that's where my narrative begins. The story of the Congo is a said one though, at the same time.
Rewatching this. For some reason I thought of what happened to King Taharqa's family. This feels like a vengeance paid far into the future.
More "Fairytales and Fabrications" from the "Weeb wuz's kangzisis anz keenzisis beings"😂😂😂😂😂😂ROTFLMAO!!!!!
No wonder Brazil looks like Mulatos
Portuguese sleeping with Yoruba women
There is something good. Even though slaves were sold .HUMANITY was there.
Is there a story of where different African kingdoms allied with each other to repel the invaders from outside? I hear constantly about how an African king allied with a foreign power to fight against another black kingdom or group. Is that how it always was? Africans fighting Africans all all of them being conquered by outsiders? It seems to me that we still have not learned this lesson.
lies .lies .lies.
1Peter 2:18 and Ephesians 6:5 It still baffles the minds of the sane minded as to how African black peoples back then and even now can cling unto Christianity the religion of their European conquerors, enslavers and oppressors.
Congo n Africans can still defeat this western racist evils in Congo if Africa united to fight them western world of darkness in Congo to stop the suffering of Congo n Africans Africa have the power to defeat them western evil wicked primitive racist jews Zionist American government and European union Africa must unite n fight back to stop the suffering of Congo and Africa 🌍🌍 yes we can 😮😮😮
I am blue.
Africans should be more and not less truthful in writing history !
Especially now,when they are nothing more than sweet appetizer for communist China !
They let volunteraly be a dish,not remembering the lot of the people of Tibet and Singkiang.
A lot of the history that you presented is actually from Angola, and not Kongo.
Luanda was part of the Kingdom of Ndongo (modern dayAngola), and not the kingdom of Kongo.
Oh wow this is amazing! I am descended from Queen Njinga of Angola ❤
I would like to Thank You for Your Service. (We need this content.)
Africans had slaves.
It’s hilarious how black Americans are on a anti African rant saying Africans didn’t fight against slavery
The mangala has been the people in power of Congo brazzaville today since the 1960s with French as the hidden hand. We, the bakongo people in Congo Brazzaville, were genocide from the 70s through the 2000s by the mangala and the french. We are still living under their control today. I truly hate the mangala people for all the wickedness they have done and continue doing today, not all, but 95% of them have done us of the cost so much evil. Thanks for the history, my brother, and God bless you, sir.
I'm Portuguese, and sadly there's no documentation of this going the way you trying to convey dude,…the only documentation there is are the many letters between the King of Congo and the Portuguese where he is the one who offered his criminal prisioners, and even asked the portuguese to bring more ships because he wanted to trade for more weaponry, all this historic records in form of letters are in the historical archive of Lisbon Tower.
But you're not ready for evidence based reality…I'm sure you're not ready for this…
Sorry though, it still was wrong, but was introduced to the portuguese as beeing normal, something that still happens today: the normalization of wrong ideas. It's the source of all historical mistakes.
Remember that in all nations, and in all races and religions, there's good people and bad people. And those jesuits were also portuguese…so folks remember not to generalize
We in Portugal study all this in school, and our books have some passages of those letters, saying all the good and bad of our history, but we do study it with official documentation.
Plus, let it be known that if the natives of south america weren't massively sucumbing to disease ( yes from us europeans) because they were not exposed to some of the virus and bacteria common in Europe and dying with sickness( yes with sickness, they weren't murdered in any intentional genocide as some folks keep saying ignorantly), the portuguese would never had accepted the King of Congo's offer.
But now let me tell you, the most important, that is the biggest hidden truth, I'm not here blaming the very africans for slavery, they just introduced the concept to the portuguese, the portuguese had been many places before and had never engaged in any type of slave trade before that encounter with the King of Congo, but we also know that before we arrived there by boat, slavery was already happenning in africa and we know the true responsibles for the start of slavery in africa: THE ARABS!
Even before Portugal existed as a country the Arabs were already in africa killing, raping, destroying and taking slaves, Portugal didn't even exist at the time. They were the reason african tribes would trade their prisioners, cause it was better for any african tribes and Kingdoms to already present some prisioners slaves to give the ARABS than to get the whole population massacred, and this went on in Africa for centuries prior to the arrival of the portuguese.
Hello even Portugal only become Portugal by reclaiming land that the ARABS took, because the ARABS had already power of most of Africa and then reached Iberia.
THIS IS THE TRUTH. Wether you like it or not. Learnt all the good and all the bad but learn it right.
P.S.: even to today, the arabs religious book still aproves and legalizes slavery. But somehow they get by unnoticed by you guys… interesting…
King Ghezo
Thanks for sharing this history!
LOVE YOU GUYS SENDING BROTHERLY LOVE. STAY POWERFUL, BLACK POWER
I thought you said Rwanda and was about to say there was never portuguese in the country of Rwanda.now i know you said Luanda which is a capital of Angola
I thought the king of the Congo had good relations with the Portuguese I've read that he sent is son to university in portugal
No man will ever make me a slave the foolish words of the modern man … Austin Fletcher
The Eskimos where the ones who really got screwed they where slaves in frozen wastelands with no food or water they sure was a long as way from Mexico
Very single race on the planet has been a slave and liberated by the hearts of the resistance and the brave ones who died for there brothers freedoms all because they where stabbed in the back from there own people how else do you suppose so many people from strange lands came so far
Any book recommendations that talks about the Portuguese in general? And also any recommendations that talks about the kingdom of ndongo invasion?
Thank you, this history is so unknown to so many.
Its amazing a single province in the Kongo Kingdom, Soyo, laid a crushing defeat on the Portuguese in 1670 in The Battle of Kitombo that stalled Portuguese aspirations of conquering the Kingdom for the next two centuries.
You really should stop trying to rewrite history. You’re not very good at it.
I got your patreon right here
Like our History Teacher always teach us that real History doesnt come in the Books and were the Africans that made the price for each enslaved one,We the Portuguese just had to pay what the price was.Portuguese needed Manpower for Brasil,Amerindians were fragile,Africans were strong people.We had thousands free in Portugal too.History isnt black and white,have grey,too.🤔
We the Brazilian people received the greatest number of african slaves over 5.5 million. As a triracial man with Native, African and portuguese blood i have greatest LOVE for my oppressed ancestors the Natives and Africans and shame about the Portuguese and their racist atrocities. In Brazil our ancestors created Capoeira a fighting style disguised as a dance for whenever the racist white men would be around us they would simply think we are just dancing and singing and not know that we were practicing to gain back our FREEDOM from these demonic people enslaving us in the name of GOD. It was with Capoeira and the strength of GOD that we freed ourselves and told them point blank "Independence or death". After they had lost enough men and firearms they surrendered and stopped official slavery. Now a days most of Brazil population in Afro/Native. This goes to show that those who have a Warriors Spirit which is Faith exemplified can do anything because the SPIRIT OF FREEDOM IS RIGHTEOUS and its simply a matter of time before it regains ground and is victorious over negative evil racist spirit that believes in subjugation and superiority over other different from themselves. May this video empower all those who have suffered injustly. If you STAY STRONG YOU TOO WILL KNOW VICTORY ONE DAY.
Note: Without wanting to disagree with anything or the story told here, this kingdom of Kongo in the video mentioned should be said to be Ndongo and nowadays it is called Angola. Diogo Cao had an alignment with Kongo, There was the Kingdom of Kongo, and there was the Kingdom of Ndongo (called Angola nowadays). Colonized by the Portuguese, the king of Kongo asked the king of Ndongo for tribute for minerals, spices and slaves to satisfy the colonists. At a certain point the Portuguese wanted to do business directly with the source, the king of Ndongo (Ngola Kiluanje). 4 Jesuit Emissaries and Paulo Dias De Novais carried out 6 months of negotiations to reach Ngola Kiluanje, when they finally arrived in Angolemi – capital of the Ndongo kingdom at the time, King Ngola Kiluanje kept them in captivity for 5 years. Returning to Portugal in 1565, these men took with them from the Ndongo kingdom 40 copper shackles, 35 elephant ivories, 40 pieces of cacongo wood and some slaves, gifts from King Ngola Kiluanje. But these men who returned to the Portuguese colony defended the point of view that the king of Portugal should order the invasion of the kingdom of Ndongo by brute force. And so in 1571 Paulo Dias De Novais received a document sent by the king of Portugal allowing the conquest of the kingdom of Ngola Kiluanje for the good and benefit of the Portuguese crown. In 1575, the project was carried out, creating 3 large colonist military forts between the province of Bengo and Kwanza, and thus mass slavery and territorial exploitation began. And this already foreshadowed the start of a war. Because of this, in 1578 more reinforcements arrived from the colony to be able to dominate the Kingdom of Ndongo, a year later Ngola Kiluanje was informed that Paulo Dias De Novais intended to conquer Ndongo and obtain silver from Kambambe. 30 Portuguese traders were captured and killed, and the exploited merchandise was confiscated. However, Novais, with his Portuguese military force, convinced and allied with the Kingdom of Kongo to fight for the first time against the Kingdom of Ndongo and were soon defeated by King Kiluanje's army. This war lasted more than 100 years, resulting in several deaths and slavery between the two kingdoms and only increasing the Portuguese colony. The kingdom of Kongo and Ndongo ended up destroyed. It was there that the city of Luanda was born, it was born out of the Portuguese need to create a large fort in Cobra Bay, this gave rise to a Portuguese captaincy. So that the colony would have more and more slaves and resources.
The Brazilian slave liberator Zumbi was related to this king too. I think.
As a Brazilian, thank you for this video. I long for the day this Kind of knowledge becomes mainstream here.
And this is another proof (against the claim that "Africans sold Africans") that Africans are not willing to give away their brothers and sisters
