Slavery has occurred in many forms throughout the world, but the Atlantic slave trade — which forcibly brought more than 10 million Africans to the Americas — stands…

  1. Europeans are the problem every where they invaded and occupied…. people human being created equal by God became nothing because ….its never stopped because people still value things money power status over humanity….free Palestine and all oppressed people of the world…

  2. It came out totally sideways as expected. We just wanted to see a thriving African community in United States of America like we see a thriving European community in United States of America. Instead it is everything but thriving. They are suffering mentally psychologically and it is just not going as expected. I don’t know what it is or what it was.

  3. We were just trying to start an African community in United States of America. Of course, they wouldn’t leave by choice so we had to use force violence. European-American, African-American not that hard. I don’t why many exaggerate the situation more than what is is it came out totally sideways than expected.

  4. why do you not mention that at the height of slavery in America there were four times as many enslaved Africans in Brazil? Why do you not mention that the Portuguese, who colonized Brazil were the major traffickers of slaves? Slavery in both Brazil and the US were abolished in the same year. But for some reason historians like to keep this a secret. Why do you not mention that there were more enslaved Africans in the British Caribbean colonies than in the US. Why do you not mention that slaves were first brought to America while it was a British colony?

  5. Every British, Spanish and Netherlands pupil should learn this at school, if not already. So, many millions were killed on transportation and later abuse…😢

  6. Just a reminder, Europeans contributed to slavery the least out of any race besides blacks.

    White people were enslaved so much by Viking/Mongols/Byzantines they’re were called “Slavs”

    African slaves were just the last to figure out the game ie if you don’t have guns you will be enslaved

    2nd amendment goes a lot

  7. Hard to believe that in us blacks have been free for less time than enslaved. Slavery was 400 years and slavery only ended 158 years ago. Thats crazy to think about

  8. 01:06 native american's were not enslaved.. not systemically or on a large scale, some aholes definitely did enslave them, but it was against the spanish law. the "worst" thing that was done was the "mita" in peru, which was the existing system of forced labor, but not slavery. the tribesmen decided which young indios to send to work, they got a salary and returned home. they had to go work, but they were not slaves.

  9. Without Africans enslaving other Africans there would be no significant selling of Africans, it would would never have been millions of people, but a much smaller number in the thousands. Let’s get some facts correct. Did this video miss this fact? If so, it is propaganda.
