Mexico banned slavery right after independence, one of the reasons why immigrants from the US revolted, declared Texas independent and went to join the USA was because they weren't allowed to own slaves, and Mexican authorities weren't willing to go after escaped slaves, who according to Mexican law, were free at the moment they set foot in Mexican territory.
@@Kalumbatsch its more complicated then that. Slavery was ended in cuba way before castro like the 1880s cuba officially abolished it. But there were some elements that wouldnt die and the elites of cuba at the time did things that made the lives of afro cubans a living hell. It also didnt help that America was around also fanning shit making things even more hellish for afro cubans. batista to his credit interestingly did try/did do some reforms but as we all know he was as corrupt as they come and didnt put in true efforts. Castro mainly ended the practices that were engraved into society. So no he didnt end slavery but he ended certain social norms that we would consider slavery.

7:35 Petty linguist tangent: The janky etymology of "slav"="slave" is a huge pet peeve for me. A lot of people, some in writing, very readily jump to the conclusion that, since Medieval (!) Latin "sclavus" = "slave", and "slave" pretty much looks like "slav", that's where it must come from. It's a little like inferring that, since the Russian word for slave is "rab", it must derive from "arab" or v.v. (it doesn't). What these claims tend to ignore is that the slavs call themselves slavs (slavjane/slavjanski in modern Russian; maybe people who speak other slavics can confirm) and, side note, have done so since before Islam even came into being (re: "enslaved by muslims", 400-ish AD vs. 600-ish AD). Thanks to slavistic research, then, there are mainly two theories that are considered plausible. One is that the name derives from the word "slava" = "glory". After all, who would name their child Stanislav if it meant "became slave" rather than "became/achieved glory"? Another, which is commonly considered most likely nowadays, is that it derives from "slovo" = "word", as in "people who speak the same language" (which I personally like also because the word for German(s) in the majority of Slavic languages, to this day, essentially means "can't speak" - which I find adorably insulting). This also falls in line with ancient ethnogroups’ tendency to simply call themselves stuff like "people/humans/people of ___/people who ___". Either way, if you go even further back, slava and slovo are commonly assumed to derive from the same proto-Slavic root, anyway. There are several other theories considered less plausible/not supported by (as) much evidence. So at the very least, the exact origins are debated and there will probably never be a definitive truth because making definitive statements about (most) ancient languages is... hard. A lot of early writing on the Slavs by scholars of many origins is also simply very yikes-y. Now granted, the video doesn't claim "Slavs are called Slavs because they were slaves", but rather "Slaves are called slaves because the Slavs were enslaved a lot" - which at least puts it in a chronological order that's actually possible. That might even be true according to the most commonly accepted theory (though it simplifies multiple steps), but the (implied) framing here is off. This was much more likely a misunderstanding than cruelty; the Byzantine Greeks (not an expert on religion, but not too many Muslims there, I think; PragerU anti-Islam bonus!) did not get that the Slavs were referring to themselves by an autonym and therefore started using the word "slav" as a term for unfree people rather than as a name. And you know what? That theory is not uncontested, either! What is definite is that none of this is as easy as "Mean brown man make white man slave first". You can find all of this out by reading English Wikipedia for about 10 minutes, btw. If you also read Russian, it should become clear very quickly how not at all clear any of this is, simply because it all happened a very long time ago and old records are incomplete and usually biased. We are lucky the Romans and Greeks were so collectively Type A that they wrote everything down - at least from their point of view. What this does show is what we already know, namely that PragerU use self-serving and reductive framing to slip in implications and points that support anti-OTHER views wherever possible and twist facts to serve agendas. It's shitty research at best, propaganda in the guise of education at worst. And all that to (sloppily) prove a point nobody contested… (3rd attempt at leaving this comment, I keep getting an error :c)
I always thought the word slave came in my language through the vikings, who were active here and known to enslave slavic people in Russia too. I'm from the Netherlands btw. But it might also come from English and international trade that came up in the 16th century, and the English learned the word slave from the vikings. This is because the word 'knecht' is sometimes used interchangeably for slave (Black Pete, from Sinterklaas here was often called 'zijn knecht' = his slave), also seen with the word 'geknecht' which means enslaved or forced servitude in dutch. Side tangent; it is remarkable that knecht is from the same germanic root word for knight, yet it's meaning is somewhat different in my language.
@@maxgrozema1093 Same in German, Knecht is a male serf, yeah. And definitely of Germanic origin - unlike Slav (or slave). The vikings actually had nothing to do with this; they would have been around early enough, but I seem to be remembering that just like in England, they actually ended up coexisting with Slavic peoples. I haven't double checked this though like I did for the stuff above. The only think I do remember with certainty is that the Ryurik dynasty that ruled Russia until Ivan the Terrible bludgeoned his only heir to death (oops) derived their name from a Viking named Rurik, some time 9th CT. The first evidence of the word Slav dates back at least to the 400s iirc, definitely somewhere around there. And first source often/usually means that first actual verbal usage was much earlier. The Slavs didn't write all that much down before the great mission of Cyril & Methodius (>Christianity, wee). Meaning: there is no way for this word to have come from English. Old English was in its infancy then and had just started developing. Iirc the Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, Jutes) came over roughly in 450 AD. In German at least, it appears to be pretty uncontested that "Sklave" derives from Medieval Latin "sclavus", which is based most likely either on the mentioned misunderstanding of the Byzantine Greek's or a word similar in sound of different origin and meaning. The Vikings, for once, seem to have had nothing to do with this at all. Now all that aside, I have no knowledge of how exactly the word made it to the Netherlands or when it was first used in Dutch. Idk if there is a k in the Dutch word - if there is, there's no way it came from English, as the English word itself also derives from the mentioned "sclavus", so we end up at the same root word eventually anyway. Does that make sense? (yay I'm using my degree)

@@catmandoo4u1 let me guess you think they shouldnt have fought back against the French? it wasnt all of Haiti dude if I recalled it was louverture had some complicated views.

It was one of the reasons why a lot of blacks didnt 100% feel that bad when France arrested and imprisoned him. Jean wasnt for slavery at all he was genocidal however that cant be really denied. But looking at how bad things were for blacks at the time its easy to see how a monster would come about. Even then he had targets and didnt attack all whites he just really hated the French.

She said "vast majority" were white. That statement is a factual statement that necessarily concedes there were non-white soldiers in the Union Army too.
In your analysis of Africans selling slaves to Europeans you didn’t call out how badly that tore up Africa. Firstly because the demand for slaves actually fueled conflict and made them infinitely worse both by incentives to slave raid and by providing weapons as payments. Second by depopulation of able bodied adults in the continent. The economic damage done by that depopulation and the constant slave raiding to meet European demand was incalculable. The transatlantic slave trade is STILL a lasting economic impact on modern African nations today independent of later colonialism.
Exactly, Akala talks about this extensively in his Book “Natives”. Gives you a more comprehensive insight of the British empire and the methods by which the curriculum distorts or omits history.
It was so profitable slaver empires formed. When slavery was abolished in Europe, they all collapsed, and the level of state organisation sometimes fell back to iron age level. Which enabled colonization with barely any resistance.

That's you, propagandising in the other direction. This kind of lyingand distorting facts in both directions is so parasitical.The only mistake Candice made in this video was not approaching it from the point of view that "the West" were actually the 1st to adopt a campaign globally of eradicating slavery.Until the early 19th century, there were only attempts to end certain types of slavery within individual countries,, which is admirable in itself, but didn't do anything to the practice of slavery ITSELF. When the Brits started a campaign in the early 19th century, they were arguably the richest country in the history of the planet. And because they were the only industrialised nation. "At that point," they were literally more rich than the USA has ever been compared to other nations in the world at that point. They had steam powered gunships that were able to destroy ships everywhere all over the world and the success of this is what eventually convinced the French and the USA to join them in what became a protracted effort for nearly a century, which totally bankrupted the industry and made it more expensive to practice by far than even low paid work.. Amazed important effect of this is that over the decades it enforced cultural impending changes in countries worldwide, because what happens over time. If something is seen as synonymous with a massive drop in your standard of living. You are going to turn against practice from a number of standpoints - and this was what was achieved uniquely by the West and this is why slavery is only practised covertly in the 21st-century and the percentage of its practice by head of population compared to before the early 19th century, is absolutely minuscule

So it doesn't matter if the south wanted slaves or not, when the north said they didn't give a shit. FAIL. FAIL. FAIL. The country didn't split apart over slavery. Period. Crying the south wanted them doesn't change that. You are aware slavery started in the north and the north had half a million DURING the war. The border states had slaves. they also had seats in union Congress, not Confederate. Means those slaves belonged to the north. All wars are over MONEY.

Quick history lesson: Scores of Black Americans served in Europe during the Great War. While there, they experienced much less discrimination and were generally treated as equals by their European counterparts. As soon as the war ended, the Black people who returned knew that a desegregated society was possible, and began aggressively fighting for their rights Confederate veteran societies saw that younger Black people were agitators and radicals, whereas the older ones, some of whom had been slaves themselves, were much more submissive. So starting from the 1920s, Confed societies began paying pensions to ex-slaves, wrote heroic stories about "loyal negroes" and invited them to their events where they were placed front and centre in all group photographs This of course wasn't a friendly jest of compassion and equality, but a deliberate propaganda move to quell rising tides of civil rights activism and show the apparent benefits of bowing to white supremacy On an unrelated note, PragerU hired another Black person to talk about racism

Fun fact: the slavic self-descriptor "slovene", "sloveni" that means more or less "the people who can speak", comes from the proto-slavic word "slovo" which means "word" or "speech". The word "slovo" also still means "word" in most currently existing slavic languages and is a part of a name of some slavic nations like Slovens or Slovacks. The name for slavs in this theory came to existence once the slavs migrated west and reached the lands of the germans. Presumably, being a gathering of several dozens of separate tribes they started using this word to describe the tribes which they could talk with and understand them. Conversly, they named the germans "niemce" which in slavic languages meant "mumbling", "speechless" or simply "dumb" (not the stupid kind). Before they were subjects of Scythian empire from which they fled westwards, suppossedly due to maltreatment. The word "sclavus" which means "slav" in latin, comes from greek "sklabenoi" which comes from "slovene". The greek word was first, because the Eastern Roman Empire had much earlier and more frequent run ins with slavs who, after they couldn't pressure the germans to move further west, started migrating south to the Balkans (Bulgars, Croats and Serbs), occupying Byzantine territories, reaching Dalmatia, Albania and Macedonia (that's why the Greeks were pissed off about Rep. of Macedonia being called "Rep. of Macedonia"). Fun fact inception: Berlin was established by slavs, who were later pushed back during the Carolingian expansion in VIII century and landed east of Odra river ("Oder" in german), which from that point on was pretty consistently the border between germanic and slavic cultures.

Haiti's first leaders as a sovereign nation were former slaves who abolished the practice 3 years before the British would pass such a law after SEVERAL failed attempts. Even then, slaves in their colonies wouldn't be freed until 1838.
I didn't invent murder, so if I do it, not only is it possibly okay for the times, no one after me should blame me for doing it. That is only logical... Somehow.
The Haitian slave rebellion didn't kill all the white people, they killed all the FRENCH people who had been involved in the sugar plantations and the slavery that the plantations were operated with. There were Irish people who fought alongside the rebelling enslaved people and were considered "honorary blacks".
Something that's also rarely mentioned is that the US were stragglers among European civilizations abolishing slavery, and most didn't need to fight a bloody war about it. It was in fact codified during the Congress of Vienna 1815. Not every nation immediately followed it, but still. Being 50 years late to the party on human rights doesn't sound as much in hindsight but imagine that novadays.
MA in History here, this is a bit more complicated than that. Yes European powers ended slavery sooner but usually in a way that the slave holders were compensated. Secondly European powers, especially Britain, Germany and France made abolitionism apart of their ideology of imperialism when invading Africa and Southeast Asia by claiming one of their justifocations for invasions was to end slavery in those places. As an American, im ashamed it took us so long to end slavery, but at least when it ended it was done by the bayonet instead of the pocket book.
@@HamSaladtv Perhaps it's because I'm British but it seems mad to me that you think the civil war was a better way of ending slavery than giving compensation to the slave holders. Over 700,000 died in the American civil war, a far higher price for ending slavery than any European nation had to pay. The American Civil war always seemed like madness to me, an unfortunate tragedy that surely could have been avoided.
@@Vberg i mean, would it have been nice to end slavery peacefully, perhaps. But the likelyhood that the US would have ended slavery peacefully is highly unlikely for at least another generation or more. During the 1864 election it was a political talking point for lincoln that it was better to end slavery now and finish the war rather than leaving it alone and coming back to it 10 years later.
Also, how could the war been avoided? Slavery was so fundemental to the US economic system that slave holders were not going to simply let it go. Lincoln even tried compensation for slavery to the border states. It didnt work. Besides, at least to me, several hundred years of sustained slavery , rape and torture is a lot worse to me than four years of war ending it. The war resulted in a high loss of life, but it was also the closest thing wr have had to a social revolution too.
@@HamSaladtv I do get your point. Was there any real attempt to look into compensating all slave owners in the US and ending slavery that way? It would have been costly but surely still cheaper than fighting the civil war. Perhaps it's having the benefit of hindsight but even before the civil war it seemed clear that the south's slave based agrarian economy couldn't keep up with the Norths rate of economic growth. It makes me think that at some point the south would have realised that a slave based economy was not in the south's best interest. It another tragic aspect of the war that the average Confederate soldier had no slaves, and was disadvantaged by living in such a hierarchical slave based society, died in their hundreds of thousands trying to defend it. It was actually in the average southerners best interests that the confederacy lost and slavery was abolished. Surely given time the slave based economy would have just ended on its own? It actually makes me feel angry at the South's ruling elites that their pig headed refusal to modernise the south led to such slaughter. That's why certainly I struggle to view the American civil war as anything other than a tragic waste of life.
When I was 19 I remembered being told that black people coming here from Africa was a blessing from an old white guy. I was so confused that day because I didn't know at that time people think like that. That is my anecdote for today.
It's because of all the "Africa is poor" rhetoric. The vast majority Africans aren't facing war and starvation and they live regular lives. It's also funny because none of these people would want to have been born in America if it meant their ancestors were enslaved, brutalized and raped then exposed to Jim Crow and even to this day, heavily discriminated in the workforce, in school finding, by police etc. What exactly is there to be greatful for? Being a second citizen in your birth country?
One of the best things about the PragerU video is that it acknowledges that the Civil War was about slavery. I'm sure that contradicts like 10 of their other videos.
I honestly think that there were cases of monarchy where it wasn’t meant to be or even manifested in totalitarianism. Like yes fuck all monarchy, but I think there were genuine cases where people supported a monarch in resistance to a more authoritarian system because the leader they chose would fight for their rights. But again, fuck even that system. Anarchy is best:)
The rhetoric used in this PragerU video has been quite effective irl despite how absolutely stupid it is. You wouldn't believe how many times people said "But this other ancient empire had slaves too" as an own when arguing about slavery in America. I think it mainly is the failure of the education system because these people probably grew up thinking slavery was only an American thing and when they found out that it isn't it just shattered their whole world and immediately think like "WOW but they never told me this. What else are they hiding from me?". It's sad actually.

PragerU lies constantly to back arguments that don't even support the point they were trying to make even if they weren't lying. It's almost impressive how terrible they are at making a valid point.
Another point is that most conflicts between kingdoms and tribes in Africa, before European merchants arrived, resulted in the killing of prisoners of war or anybody in the opposition. It wasn't until European merchants created an incredibly lucrative market for slaves that these conflicts began to revolve around slave-taking for profit, instead of land or political control.
Don't forget Africa was a vast continent the population was to large and there where various diseases so sending an army to go capture slaves woudnt have worked.
Also speaking of conservatives blaming black people for slavery and being wrong, ironically one of the reasons the slavery is still prevalent in modern Africa is big companies in first world countries like Amazon and Apple have notoriously lobbied against the civil rights and workers rights movements and most of their cheap products were definitely made by people in borderline slavery and the mines to acquire raw materials such as kobalt to make iPhones are run on forced labor. But I guess to conservatives it only counts if the slaves we’re still profiting off of live here.

Sargon of Akaad likes to try to make the argument that Britain is absolved of guilt because they abolished slavery before the US. That's like saying Hitler wasn't all bad because he was a dog lover.

Also (I'm not defending slavery) what people in PragerU are not mentioning is that slavery in Roman times was different from slavery in the US as it wasn't based on racial discrimination.
Correct me if im wrong, but i feel like at first slavery also didnt care about race in the US. It just became easier to get black people and justify enslaving them, so it just became racial. Right? Based on nothing but my thoughts
Fun fact: while some of the slaves brought to the colony already were slaves in Africa, slavery in that case meant indentured servitude not being treated as livestock and property.

Tunisia (north africain country) abolished slavery by an act in 1846 , but notice how they skipped directly to france in 1848 just to prove it's a «white» thing
Not only that, the French already had abolished it once before, but reinstated it under napoleon, which led to that the true first nation that abolished slavery was Haiti, a predominantly black nation and a colony of France.
My favorite part of the PragerU video is when she's just all "you know, Caribs used to eat the Taíno." It's a fun fact that has nothing to do with slavery. Its only purpose in the video is to subliminally make you think that dark skinned people are more primitive. No line shows the video's true colors more than this.
It always enrages me when I learn about the horrible treatment my ancestors had. I wish the Taino hadnt suffered, but they were such generous and humble people. Easy to take advantage of.
One of the big problems with this whole argument also stems from the fact that modern definitions of "white" don't apply once you go back a century or so. The Slavs mentioned in the PragerU video were not considered racially homogeneous with Anglo European peoples for most of the 19th century and the people of the time would not have viewed their enslavement as "whites enslaving whites".
The U.S and all European nations embargoed Haiti, leading the French former slaves to turn on the Spanish former slaves, which then turned into revolution and a divided island...
This, and all, Prager videos remind me of when I wrote papers in middle school that I lazily, and irresponsibly, only included information that supported whatever tf I was writing about.
Saying that “the Taino (how tf do you pronounce that wrong lol) people hoped Columbus would save them from their neighbors” is like saying “the German people hoped the Nazis would save them from starvation” and leaving it at that.
Well one of the reasons germans voted for Hitler is because he opposed the treaty of Versailes and it's burdens on Germany which led to starvation and generated a lot of hatred that people needed to dump on something.

Mexico banned slavery right after independence, one of the reasons why immigrants from the US revolted, declared Texas independent and went to join the USA was because they weren't allowed to own slaves, and Mexican authorities weren't willing to go after escaped slaves, who according to Mexican law, were free at the moment they set foot in Mexican territory.

Ask to those slaves who were sold in the Trípoli and benghazi in 2016 LOL
Or the millions of slaves living in Arabia.
7:35 Petty linguist tangent: The janky etymology of "slav"="slave" is a huge pet peeve for me. A lot of people, some in writing, very readily jump to the conclusion that, since Medieval (!) Latin "sclavus" = "slave", and "slave" pretty much looks like "slav", that's where it must come from. It's a little like inferring that, since the Russian word for slave is "rab", it must derive from "arab" or v.v. (it doesn't).
What these claims tend to ignore is that the slavs call themselves slavs (slavjane/slavjanski in modern Russian; maybe people who speak other slavics can confirm) and, side note, have done so since before Islam even came into being (re: "enslaved by muslims", 400-ish AD vs. 600-ish AD). Thanks to slavistic research, then, there are mainly two theories that are considered plausible. One is that the name derives from the word "slava" = "glory". After all, who would name their child Stanislav if it meant "became slave" rather than "became/achieved glory"?
Another, which is commonly considered most likely nowadays, is that it derives from "slovo" = "word", as in "people who speak the same language" (which I personally like also because the word for German(s) in the majority of Slavic languages, to this day, essentially means "can't speak" - which I find adorably insulting). This also falls in line with ancient ethnogroups’ tendency to simply call themselves stuff like "people/humans/people of ___/people who ___". Either way, if you go even further back, slava and slovo are commonly assumed to derive from the same proto-Slavic root, anyway. There are several other theories considered less plausible/not supported by (as) much evidence. So at the very least, the exact origins are debated and there will probably never be a definitive truth because making definitive statements about (most) ancient languages is... hard. A lot of early writing on the Slavs by scholars of many origins is also simply very yikes-y.
Now granted, the video doesn't claim "Slavs are called Slavs because they were slaves", but rather "Slaves are called slaves because the Slavs were enslaved a lot" - which at least puts it in a chronological order that's actually possible. That might even be true according to the most commonly accepted theory (though it simplifies multiple steps), but the (implied) framing here is off. This was much more likely a misunderstanding than cruelty; the Byzantine Greeks (not an expert on religion, but not too many Muslims there, I think; PragerU anti-Islam bonus!) did not get that the Slavs were referring to themselves by an autonym and therefore started using the word "slav" as a term for unfree people rather than as a name. And you know what? That theory is not uncontested, either! What is definite is that none of this is as easy as "Mean brown man make white man slave first".
You can find all of this out by reading English Wikipedia for about 10 minutes, btw. If you also read Russian, it should become clear very quickly how not at all clear any of this is, simply because it all happened a very long time ago and old records are incomplete and usually biased. We are lucky the Romans and Greeks were so collectively Type A that they wrote everything down - at least from their point of view. What this does show is what we already know, namely that PragerU use self-serving and reductive framing to slip in implications and points that support anti-OTHER views wherever possible and twist facts to serve agendas. It's shitty research at best, propaganda in the guise of education at worst. And all that to (sloppily) prove a point nobody contested…

Very fascinating! Thank you for the information
@@painovoimaton thank *you* for reading it all lol
Holy smokes, what a tome!
I always thought the word slave came in my language through the vikings, who were active here and known to enslave slavic people in Russia too. I'm from the Netherlands btw.
But it might also come from English and international trade that came up in the 16th century, and the English learned the word slave from the vikings.
This is because the word 'knecht' is sometimes used interchangeably for slave (Black Pete, from Sinterklaas here was often called 'zijn knecht' = his slave), also seen with the word 'geknecht' which means enslaved or forced servitude in dutch.
Side tangent; it is remarkable that knecht is from the same germanic root word for knight, yet it's meaning is somewhat different in my language.
@@maxgrozema1093 Same in German, Knecht is a male serf, yeah. And definitely of Germanic origin - unlike Slav (or slave).
The vikings actually had nothing to do with this; they would have been around early enough, but I seem to be remembering that just like in England, they actually ended up coexisting with Slavic peoples. I haven't double checked this though like I did for the stuff above. The only think I do remember with certainty is that the Ryurik dynasty that ruled Russia until Ivan the Terrible bludgeoned his only heir to death (oops) derived their name from a Viking named Rurik, some time 9th CT.
The first evidence of the word Slav dates back at least to the 400s iirc, definitely somewhere around there. And first source often/usually means that first actual verbal usage was much earlier. The Slavs didn't write all that much down before the great mission of Cyril & Methodius (>Christianity, wee).
Meaning: there is no way for this word to have come from English. Old English was in its infancy then and had just started developing. Iirc the Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, Jutes) came over roughly in 450 AD. In German at least, it appears to be pretty uncontested that "Sklave" derives from Medieval Latin "sclavus", which is based most likely either on the mentioned misunderstanding of the Byzantine Greek's or a word similar in sound of different origin and meaning. The Vikings, for once, seem to have had nothing to do with this at all.
Now all that aside, I have no knowledge of how exactly the word made it to the Netherlands or when it was first used in Dutch. Idk if there is a k in the Dutch word - if there is, there's no way it came from English, as the English word itself also derives from the mentioned "sclavus", so we end up at the same root word eventually anyway. Does that make sense?
(yay I'm using my degree)

In your analysis of Africans selling slaves to Europeans you didn’t call out how badly that tore up Africa.
Firstly because the demand for slaves actually fueled conflict and made them infinitely worse both by incentives to slave raid and by providing weapons as payments.
Second by depopulation of able bodied adults in the continent. The economic damage done by that depopulation and the constant slave raiding to meet European demand was incalculable. The transatlantic slave trade is STILL a lasting economic impact on modern African nations today independent of later colonialism.
Didn't think of it this way. Thanks for your perspective
Exactly, Akala talks about this extensively in his Book “Natives”. Gives you a more comprehensive insight of the British empire and the methods by which the curriculum distorts or omits history.
It was so profitable slaver empires formed. When slavery was abolished in Europe, they all collapsed, and the level of state organisation sometimes fell back to iron age level. Which enabled colonization with barely any resistance.

That's you, propagandising in the other direction. This kind of lyingand distorting facts in both directions is so parasitical.The only mistake Candice made in this video was not approaching it from the point of view that "the West" were actually the 1st to adopt a campaign globally of eradicating slavery.Until the early 19th century, there were only attempts to end certain types of slavery within individual countries,, which is admirable in itself, but didn't do anything to the practice of slavery ITSELF. When the Brits started a campaign in the early 19th century, they were arguably the richest country in the history of the planet. And because they were the only industrialised nation. "At that point," they were literally more rich than the USA has ever been compared to other nations in the world at that point. They had steam powered gunships that were able to destroy ships everywhere all over the world and the success of this is what eventually convinced the French and the USA to join them in what became a protracted effort for nearly a century, which totally bankrupted the industry and made it more expensive to practice by far than even low paid work..
Amazed important effect of this is that over the decades it enforced cultural impending changes in countries worldwide, because what happens over time. If something is seen as synonymous with a massive drop in your standard of living. You are going to turn against practice from a number of standpoints - and this was what was achieved uniquely by the West and this is why slavery is only practised covertly in the 21st-century and the percentage of its practice by head of population compared to before the early 19th century, is absolutely minuscule

Conservatives Also: Oh yeah, about those 'white' and 'non-white' countries...
It's 4D chess! They occupy every position on the board, owning themselves simultaneously
Quick history lesson: Scores of Black Americans served in Europe during the Great War. While there, they experienced much less discrimination and were generally treated as equals by their European counterparts. As soon as the war ended, the Black people who returned knew that a desegregated society was possible, and began aggressively fighting for their rights
Confederate veteran societies saw that younger Black people were agitators and radicals, whereas the older ones, some of whom had been slaves themselves, were much more submissive. So starting from the 1920s, Confed societies began paying pensions to ex-slaves, wrote heroic stories about "loyal negroes" and invited them to their events where they were placed front and centre in all group photographs
This of course wasn't a friendly jest of compassion and equality, but a deliberate propaganda move to quell rising tides of civil rights activism and show the apparent benefits of bowing to white supremacy
On an unrelated note, PragerU hired another Black person to talk about racism
Look up the battle of bamber bridge, where British troops and villagers fought against American military police over the treatment of black soldiers.
@@damedusa5107 I've driven past that with my Dad once. I only recently heard about the shooting myself. Due to wartime censorship it was all but entirely forgotten about until the 1980s when an electrician discovered bullet holes in a wall
A funny true part of the story comes when a bunch of white American soldiers were troubled at seeing 2 black men sharing that same pub as them. The whites demanded that the barman immediately segregate his pub. They returned a few hours later to a sign that said "Black Americans Only"
Oh I have a fun story! During World War II many Americans complained of the desegregated pubs and called for segregation while they were there. In response across the country English pub owners hung up signs saying ‘blacks only’ to spite them
@@thestonedabbot9551 That happened across England during World War II as well
Black Confederate soldiers weren't ex-slaves. Confederate soldiers made their Black slaves fight for them in battle.

Fun fact: the slavic self-descriptor "slovene", "sloveni" that means more or less "the people who can speak", comes from the proto-slavic word "slovo" which means "word" or "speech". The word "slovo" also still means "word" in most currently existing slavic languages and is a part of a name of some slavic nations like Slovens or Slovacks. The name for slavs in this theory came to existence once the slavs migrated west and reached the lands of the germans. Presumably, being a gathering of several dozens of separate tribes they started using this word to describe the tribes which they could talk with and understand them. Conversly, they named the germans "niemce" which in slavic languages meant "mumbling", "speechless" or simply "dumb" (not the stupid kind). Before they were subjects of Scythian empire from which they fled westwards, suppossedly due to maltreatment. The word "sclavus" which means "slav" in latin, comes from greek "sklabenoi" which comes from "slovene". The greek word was first, because the Eastern Roman Empire had much earlier and more frequent run ins with slavs who, after they couldn't pressure the germans to move further west, started migrating south to the Balkans (Bulgars, Croats and Serbs), occupying Byzantine territories, reaching Dalmatia, Albania and Macedonia (that's why the Greeks were pissed off about Rep. of Macedonia being called "Rep. of Macedonia"). Fun fact inception: Berlin was established by slavs, who were later pushed back during the Carolingian expansion in VIII century and landed east of Odra river ("Oder" in german), which from that point on was pretty consistently the border between germanic and slavic cultures.
The serbia-croatia-bosnia population still calls germans "njemci" and being njem means not being able to speak

I love the fact that the whole "white people were the first to abolish slavery" thing totally overlooks the existence of Haiti.
Haiti was a French Colony.
@@melissarhyne2645 Which gained its independence in a revolution ending in 1804. Haiti's first leaders as a sovereign nation were former slaves who abolished the practice 3 years before the British would pass such a law after SEVERAL failed attempts. Even then, slaves in their colonies wouldn't be freed until 1838.
Haiti "abolishing slavery" and then proceeding to having slaves. Great.
@@pffpffovich2398Haiti didn't have slaves. You just made that up.
Candice Owens - "Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was in fact... White?"🤔 Mind blowing stuff over here! 😅
Lincoln was WHITE mind blown. 🤯
I didn't invent murder, so if I do it, not only is it possibly okay for the times, no one after me should blame me for doing it. That is only logical... Somehow.
The Haitian slave rebellion didn't kill all the white people, they killed all the FRENCH people who had been involved in the sugar plantations and the slavery that the plantations were operated with. There were Irish people who fought alongside the rebelling enslaved people and were considered "honorary blacks".
Love how they can see slavery has been a consistent thing throughout human history and take comfort in it rather than just be more disgusted...
Something that's also rarely mentioned is that the US were stragglers among European civilizations abolishing slavery, and most didn't need to fight a bloody war about it.
It was in fact codified during the Congress of Vienna 1815. Not every nation immediately followed it, but still. Being 50 years late to the party on human rights doesn't sound as much in hindsight but imagine that novadays.
MA in History here, this is a bit more complicated than that. Yes European powers ended slavery sooner but usually in a way that the slave holders were compensated. Secondly European powers, especially Britain, Germany and France made abolitionism apart of their ideology of imperialism when invading Africa and Southeast Asia by claiming one of their justifocations for invasions was to end slavery in those places.
As an American, im ashamed it took us so long to end slavery, but at least when it ended it was done by the bayonet instead of the pocket book.
@@HamSaladtv Perhaps it's because I'm British but it seems mad to me that you think the civil war was a better way of ending slavery than giving compensation to the slave holders. Over 700,000 died in the American civil war, a far higher price for ending slavery than any European nation had to pay.
The American Civil war always seemed like madness to me, an unfortunate tragedy that surely could have been avoided.
@@Vberg i mean, would it have been nice to end slavery peacefully, perhaps. But the likelyhood that the US would have ended slavery peacefully is highly unlikely for at least another generation or more. During the 1864 election it was a political talking point for lincoln that it was better to end slavery now and finish the war rather than leaving it alone and coming back to it 10 years later.
Also, how could the war been avoided? Slavery was so fundemental to the US economic system that slave holders were not going to simply let it go. Lincoln even tried compensation for slavery to the border states. It didnt work.
Besides, at least to me, several hundred years of sustained slavery , rape and torture is a lot worse to me than four years of war ending it. The war resulted in a high loss of life, but it was also the closest thing wr have had to a social revolution too.
@@HamSaladtv I do get your point. Was there any real attempt to look into compensating all slave owners in the US and ending slavery that way? It would have been costly but surely still cheaper than fighting the civil war.
Perhaps it's having the benefit of hindsight but even before the civil war it seemed clear that the south's slave based agrarian economy couldn't keep up with the Norths rate of economic growth. It makes me think that at some point the south would have realised that a slave based economy was not in the south's best interest. It another tragic aspect of the war that the average Confederate soldier had no slaves, and was disadvantaged by living in such a hierarchical slave based society, died in their hundreds of thousands trying to defend it. It was actually in the average southerners best interests that the confederacy lost and slavery was abolished. Surely given time the slave based economy would have just ended on its own?
It actually makes me feel angry at the South's ruling elites that their pig headed refusal to modernise the south led to such slaughter.
That's why certainly I struggle to view the American civil war as anything other than a tragic waste of life.
When I was 19 I remembered being told that black people coming here from Africa was a blessing from an old white guy. I was so confused that day because I didn't know at that time people think like that. That is my anecdote for today.
Yeah for him
It's because of all the "Africa is poor" rhetoric. The vast majority Africans aren't facing war and starvation and they live regular lives.
It's also funny because none of these people would want to have been born in America if it meant their ancestors were enslaved, brutalized and raped then exposed to Jim Crow and even to this day, heavily discriminated in the workforce, in school finding, by police etc.

One of the best things about the PragerU video is that it acknowledges that the Civil War was about slavery. I'm sure that contradicts like 10 of their other videos.

I honestly think that there were cases of monarchy where it wasn’t meant to be or even manifested in totalitarianism.

But again, fuck even that system. Anarchy is best:)

@@anmolt3840051 I wouldn’t know. Again can’t stress enough the system is trash regardless
The rhetoric used in this PragerU video has been quite effective irl despite how absolutely stupid it is. You wouldn't believe how many times people said "But this other ancient empire had slaves too" as an own when arguing about slavery in America. I think it mainly is the failure of the education system because these people probably grew up thinking slavery was only an American thing and when they found out that it isn't it just shattered their whole world and immediately think like "WOW but they never told me this. What else are they hiding from me?". It's sad actually.
Which people grew up thinking slavery was an American phenomenon?
@@evanbarth7173 The point is textbooks go out of their way to create the illusion that it was a uniquely American or at least uniquely white thing.

Yet of course we talked about all the Indians Spaniards enslaved on the Haciendas when they landed in the Americas.

PragerU lies constantly to back arguments that don't even support the point they were trying to make even if they weren't lying. It's almost impressive how terrible they are at making a valid point.
Another point is that most conflicts between kingdoms and tribes in Africa, before European merchants arrived, resulted in the killing of prisoners of war or anybody in the opposition. It wasn't until European merchants created an incredibly lucrative market for slaves that these conflicts began to revolve around slave-taking for profit, instead of land or political control.
So africans never invaded each other and held each other in bondage?
@@macmcskullface1004 oh right, so your point also debunks Candace's. Cool
That's not what happened prisoners of war were either brought into states as servants or as individuals to be ransomed off
Don't forget Africa was a vast continent the population was to large and there where various diseases so sending an army to go capture slaves woudnt have worked.
Also speaking of conservatives blaming black people for slavery and being wrong, ironically one of the reasons the slavery is still prevalent in modern Africa is big companies in first world countries like Amazon and Apple have notoriously lobbied against the civil rights and workers rights movements and most of their cheap products were definitely made by people in borderline slavery and the mines to acquire raw materials such as kobalt to make iPhones are run on forced labor. But I guess to conservatives it only counts if the slaves we’re still profiting off of live here.

Sargon of Akaad likes to try to make the argument that Britain is absolved of guilt because they abolished slavery before the US. That's like saying Hitler wasn't all bad because he was a dog lover. All the things that the British Empire did after abolishing slavery is as bad as slavery if not more so. They also only abolished the slave trade initially, and then after that only chattel slavery. They still worked people to death through abhorrent work place practices. They still committed genocide and hundreds of other crimes in countries around the world, including Ireland on their own doorstep. Sargon is such a disingenuous monster

Also (I'm not defending slavery) what people in PragerU are not mentioning is that slavery in Roman times was different from slavery in the US as it wasn't based on racial discrimination.
Correct me if im wrong, but i feel like at first slavery also didnt care about race in the US. It just became easier to get black people and justify enslaving them, so it just became racial. Right? Based on nothing but my thoughts

Fun fact: while some of the slaves brought to the colony already were slaves in Africa, slavery in that case meant indentured servitude not being treated as livestock and property.
This was also the difference between how Black slaves were treated and how the Irish were treated. They didn't breed Irish slaves as livestock.
they were sold.... doesn't sound like indentured servitude. Sounds like livestock and property. No one sells their servants.
There's a reason people like Owens and Shapiro never debate educated people. People that actually know history. That's all you need to know

I think Owens should count as Blackface.
Tunisia (north africain country) abolished slavery by an act in 1846 , but notice how they skipped directly to france in 1848 just to prove it's a «white» thing
Not only that, the French already had abolished it once before, but reinstated it under napoleon, which led to that the true first nation that abolished slavery was Haiti, a predominantly black nation and a colony of France.
If Columbus friends told him “amico, che cazzo” -“my friend, what the hell”- it means he was bad
I have seen this argument coming up more now: "You cannot teach slavery unless you are willing to teach the entire history of it."
My favorite part of the PragerU video is when she's just all "you know, Caribs used to eat the Taíno." It's a fun fact that has nothing to do with slavery. Its only purpose in the video is to subliminally make you think that dark skinned people are more primitive. No line shows the video's true colors more than this.

One of the big problems with this whole argument also stems from the fact that modern definitions of "white" don't apply once you go back a century or so. The Slavs mentioned in the PragerU video were not considered racially homogeneous with Anglo European peoples for most of the 19th century and the people of the time would not have viewed their enslavement as "whites enslaving whites".
Isnt there still a divide?
The U.S and all European nations embargoed Haiti, leading the French former slaves to turn on the Spanish former slaves, which then turned into revolution and a divided island...
And I think Haiti still carries the debt from the war indemnities they were forced to pay to France.
