- From approximately 1525 to 1866, 12.5 million Africans were forcibly transported across the Middle Passage to serve as slaves in the New World. Life aboard slave ships was agonizing and dangerous; nearly 2 million slaves would perish on their journey across the Atlantic. #HistoryChannel

PRINCE SHAMIYAH144 stfu and gtfo religion makes me sick
Can you please disable the comments.
@jmarks881 AMAZING how white men will call every "Minority" lazy & good 4 nothing...But want 2 OWN a human being for their personal gain...Something very sick about that...& they wonder why so many of "Their WOMEN" want us....Smh...Newsflash: As a great rapper once said "It was all a dream" bcuz thats all that comment was...Just asinine...
Y’all trippin
History Channel. Will you be making another video explaining how Africans sold African slaves into slavery? Explaining how Jews often owned the ships and slaves in the new world? How Arabs probably enslaved 40 million Africans calling them "Zanj" and cut their balls off so they would not breed? How Arabs, Turks and north Africans enslaved white Europeans for centuries during the Ottoman and Barbary slave trade? I think everyone has heard about black slaves before, why not talk about the slavery of native European peoples?
R.I.P to the ancestors! I've always been taught to live a good and decent life so that your sacrifice wouldn't be in vain
I was brought up the same way!!!💯✊🏾♠️
Agreed!

Respect for that
Native Americans and aboriginal had it the worst
Bury me in the ocean, with my ancestors that jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.

This makes me so sad. Just thinking of the heat, the smell, the pain and how scared they must have been, breaks my heart.
Oooo😮
Don’t forget about the darkness, no electricity back then, soon as the sun set it got dark under the deck pretty quick. Perhaps there were few candles in the women’s section but mostly all dark in men’s section. A true horror
Thank God, everyone will have to appear before the judgment seat of Christ, including all those slave masters.
Talking about a topic like this makes me sick to my stomach knowing people treated other people in such an inhumane way, my heart goes out to everyone who had to go through such a hellish life

@@lolidek18 Maybe you but for us people with native American ancestry. I understand how it feels to have ancestors as slaves. And all our tribes that got wiped out of existence.

Those enslaved people lived through unimaginable horror...I don't think anyone could even understand how horrible it was to be in that situation, even that of the crew.

Still going on today. An estimated 700k slaves in Africa alone.
I can’t imagine how people are able to do things like this to others. Truly disgusting.
how could someone do this to another human being?
They were demons, not humans
they were possessed by demons
@Clara Rene - Yes of course Clara. It was old whiteys fault. You console yourself by believing that. The King of Bonny in Nigeria even wrote to Parliament to complain about Britain ending the slave trade in 1807. The Royal Navy patrolled the West African coast trying to put a stop to the trade from 1808 to 1867. Greed was not a one way thing.

In school we never learnt anything like this. As my history teacher told me we only need to know the basic history of slavery and nothing else. I went to Ghana and went to Cape Coast castle and spend the day there and experienced what it was like for our ancestors. Rest in Peace our beloved ancestors, gone BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!

@@jeromebjoseph13 how are you gonna say that they didn’t teach me about slavery like they did in the video, yes they did.

Lol Ireland one of the most racist country in the world. Stop defending it
@@barryfrancis9640 That is simply not true. Ireland may have been very conservative in the past, but our country is now proud of its multi ethnic, multi cultural society. Just take a glance at our football teams. It is true that Northern Ireland is much more conservative than the Republic of Ireland, but they are under British laws. Ireland in 2021 is unrecognisable from the Ireland of 30 years ago.
This still hurts many years later.

It's not that long ago. The hurt is deep the scars are anger. Don't blame you feeling that way.
It definitely does. I wanted to do the ancestry DNA kit to learn more about my personal heritage but I just can't bring myself to do it, it would be to painful.

I often wonder how many slaves died with hate in their heart...to have lived such a hellish life and to have died such a miserable death....I can't fathom how much pain and anguish they must've felt. To be treated less than a person...stripped of your dignity and told you're someone's property. My heart always feels heavy when I think about these things.
What can we do about it, it affects us today
words cannot express the grief and pain...it's so sad....hail to those who fought and are still fighting.
I feel the same way. Life is something serious
It's done and over with. Move on.
They didnt have no hate the indians and african people have a good soul
Pain yeah but hate naw that's not who we are
Just knowing our ancestors went through such evil attrocities causes a deep sadness and anger for what they suffered through.

I look at my son and daughter (mind you, I'm not of african decent) and when I read or see these things, I can't help but think about them and feel how absolutely soul crushing it must be as a parent to have had your children on board with you on something so hellish like that. Truly, humans can be the cruelest beings. I cant fathom the suffering of those people.
They were barely human though. From a primitive culture that had not even invented the wheel.

The slaves were chained to one another and thrown over board. It’s unimaginable the horror they went through.

This has to be the most accurate presentation I have seen of what occurred on slave ships, based on a book I read pertaining to the “Middle Passage”.
I avoided searching ‘slavery’ on UA-cam for many years. I still can’t articulate my feelings about how my ancestors suffered this horror for generations and how they still triumphed above this adversity to play their part in making the US a great and powerful nation. Yet the story is far from over, if it ever will be…

Yes it is demonic it’s also demonic the way their own brother and sisters sold them as slaves. Humans can be evil how can you sell one of your own kind knowing the fate that awaits them?
And how could you even consider purchasing a human being and treating them like some sort of animal and cause them so much suffering? I promise one thing, all those who who have suffered were saved and found eternal life with God, and I can’t say the same thing for the monsters who did it to them.
To my ancestors: Thank you for persevering and not giving into the temptations of death. Thank you for not jumping over. Had you given up, I would not be here today😔🙏

Facts!
They didn't die.They are in heaven.
Bernie Rubber I’m aware that Africans have slaves, however that statement isn’t possible because my ancestors are no longer here obviously. In order for me to exist, my great x 4 grandparents had to have been brought on a ship to the United States as slaves, and they had children and so on. Yes some tribes in Africa owned slaves, but it’s a huge continent and there are numerous tribes, not every tribe owned slaves.
Panos Sarantos That’s typically what dying means. Dying is just the physical body dying, and some believe the soul is what goes to heaven.

My ancestors endured till the end. No other people in history have endured such atrocities for over 400 years and still impacted today like this. While watching others constantly not addressing it. We are truly resilient individuals. They need to teach before the rooted history of this. It wasn’t just slavery it was embedded mental trauma , physical abuse , etc.

Not all white people descend from colonizers. Also African Americans have substantial European DNA. So.....
You shouldn't look at history like this. White people have been slaves too. Also, instead of playing the victim card (which is so incredible popular in America at the moment), maybe consider that your 'white friend' (as you say) ancestors actually, for the first time in recorded history, made slavery illegal. Britain and American actually had boats blockading the slavery trade out of Africa at one point.
In fact, it was African tribes enslaving other African tribes, it wasn't one skin colour against another.

Moss Linden major facts
jmarks881 does your mother not give u enough attention boi?gtfoh
The answer is this (and I don't trust your intentions):
"Because a lot of people use the actions of Dead People to push Racial & National Guilt onto those alive because of their race, as if it entitles them to treat others badly.
They also appear to use it to try to demand more advantages or entitlement for more things.
Secondly, those who suffered are also Dead People and won't benefit from my feelings.
That's true isn't it?"
So there you go.
It is the manipulative intent that is the problem. Look up the corruption of Grievance Studies in Academia for more information. A recent Hoax/Troll that was done shows how corrupt it is. That - and the racist & unequal PRINCIPLES** they push - is the issue.

I thank my ancestors who fought to be here. Who was strong through the horrors. I feel sick knowing this was and still is how humans treated other humans back then. I will always be thankful for the good life I have that my ancestors fought for.
It's still scary and hard to believe this actually happened just heart-renching
I don't want to accept that this really happened. 1865 when slaves were free is not really that long ago.
As bad as this was ,the trans Sahara trade was even worse.
@@theresa4832 slavery still exists and was still accepted up into the 1960 s or close to it
What is more scary is that the mindset has never changed and this same kind of treatment has only changed a face
I know right
Makes me sad that any video about slavery seems to illicit so many comments such as "well Africans captured other Africans" and "well other people were enslaved" ask yourself why you feel the need to discredit the Atlantic slave trade, do you feel some sort of guilt? When you see a cancer ad, do you comment about how other diseases kill others?
I think a lot of it is done in defense, because nobody likes finger pointing. Both Africans and Europeans are to blame really, but its in the past and nobody living deserves the blame pushed on them because no one can really claim a real connection to a slave or slaver. Race is irrelevant and tis time for people to move on.
Because the people calling liberals snowflakes are snowflakes as well.
A I thank you.
they respond that way because people very often try to lay the blame on all white people, duh
Gavins Mate But who is pushing blame on them but themselves??
60 years of age. Good video. Basic reporting. Probably left out the horrific atrocities of cutting and fire branding? None the less, very informative ✅👍🏿✊🏿
My ansisters (can't spell it) would be proud of me for being so invested in history and feeling the pain they went through I feel awful that they went through this it hurts me
right same here

As a 12 year old kid that is interested in history, slavery was the hardest topic to endure and learn. I cannot imagine how much pain and suffering they had endured through until the end, our ancestors should be recognized because of their strength. From the comments I have read below, I also cannot believe a human would do this to another human, it is truly barbaric. May our ancestors rest in peace and harmony, may they live another life where they were cherished. May they live a life that they deserve to be treated so much more than just property.
Wow, you seem very intelligent for your age. I’m 16, and I’m glad so many people share my interest in history, it’s one of my best subjects in school . It is horrible to learn how cruel and inhumane we were before. I mean the slavery, the holocaust, and so on. Im Swedish so I can’t even express how grateful I am to live in a free country, and that I have more stuff than I need to survive with a great family. I feel ashamed when I complain about what food we eat for dinner sometimes when some people live in horrible conditions. Keep being you, because I can tell that you are very kind and intelligent. May you live along and happy life, you will most definitely change the world for the better😊❤️

I'm 12 too! I love history and learning about the hard about past.
*Yet I have not seen any comments defending slavery.... But I have seen atleast 15 comments complaining about comments defending slavery*
Slavery is horrible no matter who does it even if there were African slave traders it is still horrible
Im searchin too
Same.
They think that just saying that black people were not the only slaves. Then we get this: WhY ArE YoU DeFeNdInG SlAvErY??!?
Why people are so close minded.
I'm glad I'm not the only one tryna find those comments😂
Because they have been deleted out of shame.
Nobody was alive in those days so relax
Oh my ancestors rest in perfect peace😢😢😢😢
Nice
This hurts my soul to know this is what my ancestors had to endure, but I'm so proud to have African blood running through my veins. Our blood, our melanin symbolizes power, growth, sovereignty, adaptation, light. . . THE BEGINNING. . .
. . . AND THE END!
i think we should get over it and grow up. Blacks are more racist than anyone else, if we forget this history we can all move on without blacks crying about white people being successful.
oh yeah and blacks crying about white privileged which is literally not a thing even tho u people make it a thing.
Im proud of having European blood running through my veins, so much might, power, Honour, and even some celtic warriors
Thats true, if there is a hard working successful white/european, blacks call it privilege.
rico d'sanchez u want us to get over 50 million plus lives lost during the slave trade, plus all the hate and brutality ? so if i said get over the immigration situation what would u do?
@@RyanL1430 I'm a black person and I respect Europeans more than Africans because Africans always complain about everything.
OMG. It’s hard to believe that humans did this to other humans.
J Martinez right 😭 like what drug were they on. :( the no respect for blacks/ racism pill. 😢
Slavery still exists in Africa and other countries.
That's where you are wrong. It's very believable humans can do this to other humans. The world back then wasn't a fairy tale of happiness and it still isn't.
You're saying this like you're living in utopia now where there's no cruelty or innocent people dying so other people make more money
It's still happening in Africa and Asia
Worst crime against humanity. Don't u think their descendants need reparation? Mental and physical cruelty.
No. How would you go about enforcing this? Other than a free Govt. handout, you're not actually serious.
But u think cruelty, crime, inhumane treatment, beatings, brutality, kidnappings and racism should be compensated ?
What about my culture, language, religion, which were changed by the white man? Even sports was forced on Caribbean people. We play cricket. It's a white man's game.
@@fcukugimmeausername
.UK benefitted from the slave trade. I can prove this. Do some research on Bristol and Liverpool. Buckingham palace was built by slaves. Masters donated to schools, Cambridge and Oxford universities. Lloyds insurance Insured slave boats . Lloyds Bank benefitted also. I can go on and on. This was profitable and continued for over 300 years. Cocoa, coffee and tobacco were shipped to Bristol for refinement. This process employed thousands ,who paid taxes. Caribbean countries are poor. We have diplomatic relations with Taiwan and China,who assist us financially. So UK must give us more financial support. This is it! Apologize too.
@@user-xu9ib9cd6dSo? African tribes also benefited from it. A lot of people from a great variety of backgrounds benefited from slavery.
@@fcukugimmeausername no African tribe benefited from slavery.
The the most evil event ever in world history
@Loki Dog Jesus knew that he was going to be killed that's why he came he was prophesied in the old testament even his death
The Atlantic slave trade isn't even in the top 25 worst events in human history
@Loki Dog he is a human
We respect him as all Prophets
Peace be upon them
Like Moses and Adam before him
LOL, not even close!...more whites ARE and were slaves than blacks. Instead of whining and cry babying all the time why not do like the organizations that are freeing slaves NOW. BTW TODAY'S slaves re treated FAR WORSE than any in America.
TEE RELL and the blacks did it they range of an IQ of about 70 and to think they sold their ignorant ones wow we are paying for it now
This makes my heart ache so bad and eyes fill with tears to think that this happened to my ancestors. Just estimating the maths it really isn’t that long ago! My grandparents are the grandchildren of slaves 😔
Man that's heavy....
Trust me we blessed they wouldve never imagined how far we would come and are still going struggle to survive is in our nature from slavetrade to colonisation. We will survive by any means.
@@nonenone2275 acts 13 1. Thats the dna

this is why all human beings are just animals at the end of the day. quit being so pretentious and racist towards animals. we're a lot alike.
They’re human. How horrible. Black and brown people still suffering today. When will it stop?
False Atlantic slave trade narrative
For me being a 13 year old black kid i am crying because that is so bad.
You said it. Slavery is evil.
Never let a whhte person disrespect you. If they try you.. give it back 100X worse.

@@TerryJulianLive yes!

Why not show African history before slavery? It’s always slavery, segregation, colonialism
Because that's not the African American story. African Americans are the product of slavery. With out slavery we wouldn't be here.
because it was just tribes
Princess no it was cities of great wealth to use “just” is a great understatement
Yeah, i would like to see more about actual african culture not just "slavery wuz bad" i think we get it. Even in school slavery was the only thing i was ever taught about africa and the culture, like, that cant be the only thing that ever happened in africa....
TheManInBlack Jean Julien Good point. While slavery is a part of black history, you cannot define a people by it. Where is the history of the culture, arts, foods, music, leadership etc.??
Outside of the holocaust, I can't think of a more moral outrage than this.
i learned more with this video then i do in history.
As a latino with full lips and a dark skin tone i realized that the only reason why im here is because of one of my ancestors survived this.
I am British. And I also agree my ancestors must also have gone through such traumatic events. I would have gladly shared their suffering if I was born in that time.

Fake news
Dear History Channel,
Around 28 seconds your narrator stated, "These ships had (...) weapons mounted on deck in case of rebellion". However, why would someone put a huge gun on a ship's deck like in your video? When they fire those guns, wouldn't it damage the ship's integrity and, in turn, cause the death of European sailors aboard the ship? How could they even fire those huge guns to a revolting slave three meters away?
I appreciate your (potential) response.
Cheers,
🤓
Not only would it damage the ship, but having that many ppl on-board would sink the ship. Think about the buoyancy.
It's sad to see that humans were that cruel to each other at one point in history
PunchyCat Dude we still bomb each other lol
@Conan R idgaf 'bout mah grammar
still are
Still are cruel.
No.. Europeans and it's still the Europeans who are going around murdering millions. Yeah up the devil exists.
The purpose of studying history is to face it and learn from it so we NEVER allow humanity to suffer these atrocities EVER again. History is a tapestry of teachings and events and we can learn as long as we have a willingness and desire to be taught.
The harsh history they DONT SPEAK about in schools
Every school teaches about slavery. What are you talking about?
May their souls Rest In Peace
