    My family is from South Carolina, some of the African dialect was still spoken about 50 years ago, but not so much these days. I remember a few words spoken from my Grandmother.

    This story is told in reverse at the very beginning of the video. About 1821, is when they shipped indigenous Copper-colored people TO Sierra Leonne FROM the Americas and Carribeans.

      Aniyunwiyah Niitsitapi Im a researcher that is opportuned to have grown up, become familiar, or know many African groups. I said this to say that I've seen your name on many pre and post colonial maps. But it is also Yoruba. You can find their words even in Asian countries such as Japan. And I want to add that yes the coppers and darks were already in the Americas before the slave trade. Then Africans came AGAIN by force through the slave trade.
      Just sharing & Some to consider:
      Yamasee: Yemi si (Yoruba name)
      Aniyunwuyi (Yoruba name)
      Wuyeh: Gambian
      Tay Aina (Yoruba)
      Tain/Taino: Ghana (Tain: means war)
      Arawa: Hausa & Igbo
      Ogochi: Ogocheechee
      Ouchi/Uche Cheta: Ouichita (Igbo)
      Lokota/Lokoto: Benin country
      Agbemuda: Bermuda (Benin kingdom/Oyo)
      Tobago/Tebago/Tebogo: Nguni Bantu Southern Africa
      ETC.
      Be blessed

    Alcohol under the Context of the Atlantic Slave Trade
    THEY TRADED US FOR 2 BOTTLES OF SCHNAPPS:
    "Of the nearly 1.2 million captives shipped from this port town during 1710-1830 alone, 33% have been estimated as purchased through the importation of alcoholic drinks."

    Are they telling you how "Indians" was brought there from the americas and then sold off to elsewhere. Did they tell you that Sierra Leone was not called Sierra Leone in the beginning and how free black and brown Americans was sent there ? The same was done with Liberia. They are us and we are them. Been coming back and forth for thousands of years.

    We must remember to preserve history. All history is important. That's why Isis went and destroyed the city of Palmyra one of the oldest in the world. Because there is no history but Islam there is no way but Islam. And Islam support slavery. Do not ever forget the Arab slave trade marching people from the Congo all the way across the Sahara to Baghdad. They called them Caravans. Thousands of people died every trip. Do not forget slavery it's your history Africa. Do not forget Arab slavery it's going on today in Libya you can buy a man for $200 in the market. Such is Islam. Slavery get used to it it's coming back

    My family is Dominican & I did an ancestry DNA test. It urns our ancestors are from this area. We knew Taino blood was wiped out & if you look at my family we look black and mixed white/black. It’s so neat to start learning more about our African roots.
