The Transatlantic Slave Trade: Crash Course Black American History #1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Today we're learning about the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which brought millions of captive Africans to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries, with the largest number of people trafficked between 1700 and 1808. We'll look at the ships and crews that brought enslaved people across the ocean via what was known as the Middle Passage and explore the horrific conditions that these captives endured.

"Human beings," "enslaved Africans," and "African captives" instead of slaves. Language is so important and I appreciate the recognition of our ancestors' humanity.
This is going to be a depressing and enlightening series. Thank you for doing it.
This is a great idea for a crash course series. I learned embarrassingly little about black history in school.
clint is a truly excellent host. someone I'd gladly listen to for as long as they care to speak. looking forward to the rest of this series
I have yet to finish the video, but I am grateful that the seriousness of this topic was reflected in the tone of the video. I hope that as this series continue, there will be moments of hopefulness and happiness that can also be reflected in the tone of the video. Thank you again, for not making light of a truly horric period in human history.
I am a high school history teacher. I can not thank you enough for this video and this series.
So happy to have this series.
This is gonna be one of the saddest yet proudest crash course series.
I read Olaudah Equiano's book for a history class this past semester, it's really worth a read.
This man's voice is super captivating. I could listen to him all day!
I have no insight to note, but more people need to see this, so here's a comment to appease the almighty algorithm. 🌻
Thank you for the explanation of enslaved vs slave. I will try to use this when I have to discuss these themes going forward.
The day when my History teacher tells us we’ll start Black History, this turns up in my notifications ✨😌
Very thankful for Crash Course. How many times have you seen Black History botched? This is important.
This video is fantastic and I am so glad Crash Course is revisiting this topic with more seriousness than their previous attempt.
I wish there was more information in the video about the societies enslaved people were taken from. Who were they before they were enslaved? What culture did they have? What languages did they speak? I feel like it would humanize enslaved people more in these stories to know who loved them, who reared them, and who lost them when they were taken or sold away.
As a black female, I have never been happy with the fact that our own black people traded us for materials. Our own people helped fueled the slave trade. Never been happy with that.
This has to be the most important Crash Course that I have seen. It is crucial for everyone to see and understand the info that this series has to offer. I also thank the entirety of the team that has worked hard to create this series.
Very glad y’all are covering this. It’s a very interesting and important topic that isn’t taught very in-depth to most Americans.
This might have been the best and most impactful video I have ever seen on UA-cam.
I am embarrassed to say that I had no Idea that Europas involvement in the trade of enslaved people was so huge.
I think I never shed a tear because of a YT video before. Thank you for this series.
Thank you Crash Course for talking about Black American History outside of the month of February. Black American History is American History!
I value this series very highly. Thank you crash course and everyone who is a part of production for making this a reality. Black history is American history.
A great start to this series, I'm looking forward to the next episode!
Btw this is very interesting for international viewers, such as myself, not just Americans.
Watching this from Malawi 🇲🇼
Finally a history series that will touch on very serious matters such as slavery and how Blacks in the US had lived out their lives since the early American days to now. I wonder if it will touch on recent history, which I assume it will eventually.
My undergrad thesis was on this topic. I’m happy to see Crash Course began this series.
This promises to be a really fascinating series. I’ll be following closely week to week!
This is so important & I am so thankful for this series - already!
I love that you guys are making this series. I plan to have my daughter and son watch it. I doubt their school will be this deep.
Thanks very much, Clint. This opening episode was illuminating and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
I can't but to words how incredibly sad this made me, thank you for bringing the voices of enslaved people to live. I want to hear more of their narrative. I can't imagine the horror they went through and I forever will keep them on my mind.
I'm so glad you're doing this series!
Really great work with this one guys. Its imperative that this history see the light of day. Thanks for all your time and effort. looking forward to the next episode
This is extremely difficult hear, but very important to learn. I would never be able to fully understand the pains and sufferings of the enslaved human beings, but I will forever remember the fact that they suffered.
This might be the first crash course I complete 🙏🏾
It boggles me that people in America dont learn about this stuff. We learn about this in Denmark, in depth, with original historical accounts. We had 3 months of the subject "black America"
This was very informative and done respectfully. Kudos
Clint! This is amazing!
Thank you for providing a piece of history that should be highlighted and integrated into our collective knowledge. I look forward to learning along the journey
I'm surprised at how much of this they got right when we learned this in school. But there is still so much that was left out.
Such high quality work here. Thank you CC
I'm so excited for this series, I've been waiting for this for years
This series was very needed. Thank you
Thank you Clint Smith and Crash Course!
I appreciate all these history lessons you have brought to the light,which many(especially schools)have buried or will not touch...THANK YOU!!
Great episode. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I am in support of this series 100%! I'm also commenting so this can get more exposure.
I have nothing to add really (algorithm comment!) but thanks for taking the time and emotional energy required to do this 👑. It’s appreciated
This will be your most important work.
So excited for the coming episodes!
Very well done episode. Im looking forward to watching more :)
I appreciate the honesty of your videos and I appreciate that they're informative and not divisive.
Very excited for this series.
Thank you for doing this series. True American history must be taught.
thank you the video was very informative keep up with the good things
Outstanding! This is sure to be a phenomenal series.
Very informative, looking forward to more while I get some more reading done on this subject.
Omg Yessss, love Crashcourse for this
Thank you so much for making this, I learned a lot in this video
I'm glad to see a Crash Course video on this subject that isn't the slightly goofy video with John Greene. All respect to John Greene, but the tone of that Crash Course video is a bit too comical.
Thank you Clint Smith and Crash course for this series.
Glad to see this topic covered - want to show it to my son, even though he may be too young for since of the content it's important to understand how the world we live in came to be.
Depressing but vital.
I appreciate this channel for giving the proper gravity to discuss the slavery system that happened in the americas. I think being able to discuss this history earnestly and transparently can propel this country as well as other countries to be able to fix current problems related to racism
Thank you all for this. So well done.
so emotional after watching this.
Thank you so much for creating this. It is so enlightening and will help many people understand why we are where we are today.
Brilliant work. Enlightening and important.
This video was impressively comprehensive,
Thank you guys so much, I'm a college student who has been thru this material many times, and this video taught me so much more, thank you.
I think I'm so lucky to find this channel
Cool new series. Will watch.
Thank you for this concise description on this topic! Keep it up!
I salute you Mr Smith. Outstanding job.
This is very well made. Thank you. And I appreciate your choice of pace for content delivery. It's appropriate.
This video was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much!
I am very much looking forward to more of this series!
This really helpful..and thanks for throwing more lights on this
Just what I needed when I needed it most, thank you brother.
Powerful stuff 🔥
Phenomenally good...thank you.
🤎 I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY COMPLETELY ADORE THESE BLACK HISTORY COURSES AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!🖤 ( Pitrsburgh, Pennsylvania)
Finally someone is telling the other side of the story love this channel. Great work.
Thank you for the knowledge that you cascade. Please, if possible, do each episode of the Eyes on the Prize briefly. I know there's a lot to cover, but maybe you can draw out the most remarkable points. Thank you one more time! I will be your most dedicated audience as I am very much into the African-American culture.
Great video thanks.
Thank you for this series.
Thank you for doing this series. Chattel slavery has affected so much of all of the history of the United States that "Black American History" really should be a required course for EVERYONE who expects to attain a college degree in this country.
Some of what I've seen so far is familiar from my studies in high school and at university, but I'm already learning details that were whitewashed from the textbooks. Thank you so much for producing this; it is so important to our country and the world right now.
Thank you for this.
This is going to tough but it’s needed thank you so much for this.
This guy has an awesome speaking voice!
Thank you for this course!
This is a pretty uncomfortable topic, like all things heavy, but one that should absolutely be acknowledged for what it was... interesting that the percentage was 5% that ended up in North America in the end. That travel seemed like an absolute hellscape to go through. Also while I am definitely bummed out now, this was a very educational presentation, thank you.
I wonder if the black background canvas behind Clint Smith will start to fill and show objects related specifically to the culture of black history as the series progress.
I can see this is going to be an enlightening series for many.
Wow I guess I am gonna be sad for the whole series.
Also hope crashcourse produces more such courses about other parts of world like the caste system in Indian subcontinent , or slavery in Africa and middle East
This is so well done.
Thank you Crash Course
Beautifully done as always. This video displayed thoughtful, complex, and well-researched scholarship. I hope Crash Course's approach continues to shape the discourse about important subjects like this on the internet.
I've felt that I never fully understood the horrors that Black people have lived through. I aspire to be an activist for people whose voices haven't been heard. I want to understand what I can do, if anything, to understand and advocate for others. Please, if you have any sort of privilege, don't abuse it. Use it to help others and make our society better.
This man is a good teacher. I will learn from him.
thanks for doing this
Thank you. Very informative.
Excellent video. Thank you.
