This is what resulted in the various lighter skin shades and more European facial features in the descendants of slaves. The slaves certainly didn't come from Africa with these features. What was even more evil is that it was also common for the slavemasters to rape the offspring they had produced by the slave women. This is incest any way you view it. More evil can be evidenced by male slaves being forced to commit incest with thei mothers as punishment as well as to produce more slaves. This is common knowledge among most Black Americans, as well as many descendants of the slave owners. Incidentally, I must wonder about America's current obsession with so-called mixed-race people.

Respectfully, if you are a Black American, I am sad that some friends, or relatives, or neighbors did not teach you some of the evils of slavery. May I refer you to Professor/Dr. Margaret Walker Alexander's novel titled "Jubilee." The protagonist in the beginning of the novel is named Vyry. The novel is based on the life of Dr. Alexander-Walker's great grandmother who died while in her twenties as a result of being raped repeatedly by her slavemaster from the time she began her female cycle as a young teen. I don't want to hinder your education regarding the demonic system known as slavery, so I will insist that you read the movel.
That this, the unspeakable brutality of slavery, surprises anyone is shocking. Americans are notoriously ignorant of their own history, but that educated people, a reviewer for "The Economist," lack the education, experience and imagination to apprehend this debased state of humanity, is the most disturbing thing of all.
Because the US is the most propagandized/indoctrinated population on THE PLANET!!! As evidenced by everytime ANYONE say this is a "Nation of Immigrants" as if Enslaved Africans and Native Americans "immigrated" here.

"the softer interpretations of....slavery?"Thats a tough one, as the host points out....and what emerges is the concentration camp aspect of the romantic "old plantation" of the mystified Southern Past. The soft ball historians have been legion...and its good, citizens. to see that the truth...albeit slowly and painfully - is just beginning to emerge. The old South was a horror show built on rape and torture- not a Gone With the Wind fantasy.
I don't think they've begun to look at rape capitalism and how enslaved people had no ownership of their eggs or sperm. The US type of apartheid legislated that white men could own the labor of the unborn. Every generation of American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) have faced pitfalls into enforced labor since 1865.
Based on the comments it's sad more Europeans aren't watching this. They always have so much to say about how slavery has nothing to do with them or for us to stop whining about it. Yet they haven't even taken the time to even read read history of their ancestors.
France, Spain, Portugal, England, Great Britain, Denmark all took part in the trafficking and enslaved servitude of African& Islander peoples. They all helped traffick to the Americas and other places and have greatly benefited from the forced labor of those people. And it was so disgusting and embarrassing it should be no wonder they deny involvement. God sees all and we all will account.
Respected, Watching in June 2024. Appreciate your hard work and acceptance of various facts. However request you to kindly do something about Mental Slavery. Mental Slavery is increasing with the passage of time. It's in every sphere of life.
If you’re referring to the recent “documentary,” a lot of that was unhistorical homophobic bullshit. The rapes and forced sexual submission of black men was certainly real, but they draw an absolutely ridiculous conclusion that this is the reason why some black people aren’t straight today
@TruthFan Must be, right along with the seasoning camps. They had this awful way of torturing slaves but I can't remember the name of it. I just learned about it three years ago. It was just so I humane and animalistic. I can't believe someone would do something like that just because of the color of a person's skin.....smh.
What I find funny is how nobody listens to the accounts and stories from holocaust survivors ( many of which are old ) and think, "Oh,they may be misremembering things." You'd be crazy to say that,because how do you even begin to forget such an experience? How do you misremember seeing loved ones and members of your own commmunity being tortured relentlessly and worked like cattle? How? What memories/things would they look to to help them numb the pain or make it go away if all you knew was slavery? If picking cotton and being a slave is all you had to your identity? The only reason they question and try to doubt the accounts from the formerly enslaved is because being a salve owner/descendents from slave owners is no longer socially acceptable.You are embarassed to claim the acts that your ancestors did so unashamedly.
The reason why this is disturbing cause our system has played a role of minimizing the situation for so long. This exposes the American Empire in such a way that we can no longer run from it
Their labor represented the wealth, much in the same way that it does today. Unfortunately in a capitalistic society, it is structured so that the monetary or capital value of this labor is only fully realized by the upper strata of society
Marq James LMT --- CORRECT. | Unfortunately, slavery is a basic feature of the "civilisation" of christer countries, just look at the histories of Mexico and all the Latin American countries, where the catholic Spaniards enslaved the natives just as viciously as the protestants in North America.
Going to southern schools 60-plus years ago, I learned that slavery was benign and had little to do with the Civil War, which was a noble southern cause. Apparently this view is still mandated by southern legislatures.
This was an incredible book. This author is particularly sensitive. The African American didn't need to know how to read, or understand French cooking or use copper pots, read/wright, etc. We became disembodied hands. Even kids and old people could pick cotton. Major disruption occurred here and this is the stage, unfortunately for us today is what most people remember.
That article should have been read at the HR 40 hearing last year. Inspite it not being the intended purpose he makes an excellent argument for ADOS reparations.
The October 1865 article from the Old Guard newspaper written by a pro Confederate author basically makes an open and shut case for "open ended" reparations. If anyone can find it please post a link.
Really good. And interviewer was excellent. Thanks. I learned how WICKED Southerners can be. But I knew that already from Freedom Rides. I connected this total lack of compassion to CAPITALISM and the coming of the Gilded Age and contemporary Age of Greed and Unbridled Trump. So, I learned a lot. I would like to read the 1930s' accounts by former slaves now, first hand. The CRUELTY genes of slave owners should be studied.
@@nmagain24 truth! the north profited immensely off of slavery. i live in a city in new england and there are massive 19th century mill buildings along the river in downtown that all made clothing out of cotton from the south.
Think of the MANY MANY MANY "Trail of Tears" the ancestors had to walk, INCLUDING the exact same one the Native Americans walked too, since the "civilized tribes" had enslaved African Americans as well.... smh
And even more to think about, when you consider that the "Native" Americans were us, but got invaded/cohabitated/bred with Paleo-Indians coming from the Bering Strait. A lot of Black-mixed Indians roaming around that got kicked out of their tribe for failing the blood quantum or had it dismantled. The 1866 Peace Treaty wasn't so peaceful. You won't hear about that in the next Apocalypto movie.
I think there are many more stories untold. We cannot sum all of the lives enslaved into a thousand books. What this guy here did was very investigative. Imagine how hard you have to dig to find the stories of people from this long ago. The Native Americans must have experienced similar or worse. The government funded re-educational schools of the native americans are a very sad story that many people don’t know in this country
They also failed to mention about white men widespread use of Black babies as Alligator and Wild Hog (Boars) BAIT in North and Central Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana.
"Almost all of the blacks are victims; almost all of the whites are villains" This is what happens when one group is given power over another with little or no rights. I relate, born in South Africa during apartheid in 1965. Though our family did not support the National party and the voting system was rigged to keep that one party in power for 40 years, yet we were part of the system and lived privileged lives at the cost of others. There is no "good" oppressor. Unless you fight the system and work to end the oppression and injustice, you are a perpetrator by default. White South Africans either felt some guilt about being white, or justified the abuses. There no neutral ground. We were born into a guilty system. The "Elsie" books try to justify a virtuous Christian slave owning family in the American South. But it's rot really. They were oppressors, Christian or not because they supported a villainous system and there's no virtuous way to support slavery.
How do you think Wall Street made it's first fortune? How do you think most family out of the New England Family made their wealth ? You better believe that a big chunk of it came from slavery . M
Unbelievable, Wow, what a disgusting institution, and a blemish to a great people. America has a lot to reflect on, about how it now treats African-American people. Gd forgive us for this evil.
U.S slavery ended in 1865. How did slavery contribute to the development of the U.S after 1865 and with the southern economy in shambles from the Civil War?
The Industrial revolution along with wall street, banking and insurance firms were all fueled by slavery. It was big business, the economy never would have grown to what it was and currently is without the enslavement of African people.
@@rashun506 I think slavery alone is not enough to develop a country. If It were then most countries in the western hemisphere that had slavery would be wealthy and developed. But that's not the case with many of them. We need to be careful not to ignore the role that the U.S more free market economic system and legal system have played in this country's development. Few of the other slave holding countries in the western hemisphere adopted economic and legal systems similar to the U.S.
@@CrowdPleeza I think it would be in your best interest to read the book in its entirety. No one ever said slavery alone developed the United States, the point is without slavery the United States would have never become the economic and industrial force without slavery. Louisiana is apart of the United States due to the Haitian revolution. Haiti was the number one producer of sugar, when the sugar plantations were burned to the ground, France had to sell Louisiana for pennies on the dollar, they damn near went bankrupt.
@@CrowdPleeza don't know if you'll see this, but whilst chattel slavery ended, the south during jim crow invented new crimes to mass arrest black people and use them for prison labor, even renting them out to northern companies such as US Steel. This system, known as convict leasing, lasted until WW2. ua-cam.com/video/UcCxsLDma2o/v-deo.html
Capitalism is the selling of goods and services, but who gets paid for those goods and services and who provides those goods and services is something else.
No it was definitely capitalism but the difference is that the labor was done by people that were considered property... Blacks were both the machines in the factory and the cattle on the ranch...
Exactly! What percentage of people of color owned slaves and served in elected positions, and appointed judicial positions to write and interpret legislation?
"Colored" slaveowners existed but were insignificant and equally wrong, as the slavery-permitting Constitution was wrong. Why do today's racists even CARE?
You sound like a hardcore racist are you Klu Klux Klan are you some kind of skinhead how did the slaves serves for the greater good of the collective there was no motherfuking Collective just like there ain't no Collective Now

The Industrial revolution along with wall street, banking and insurance firms were all fueled by slavery. It was big business, the economy never would have grown to what it was and currently is without the enslavement of African people.

I think slavery alone is not enough to develop a country. If It were then most countries in the western hemisphere that had slavery would be wealthy and developed. But that's not the case with many of them.
We need to be careful not to ignore the role that the U.S more free market economic system and legal system have played in this country's development. Few of the other slave holding countries in the western hemisphere adopted economic and legal systems similar to the U.S.
@@CrowdPleeza I think it would be in your best interest to read the book in its entirety. No one ever said slavery alone developed the United States, the point is without slavery the United States would have never become the economic and industrial force without slavery. Louisiana is apart of the United States due to the Haitian revolution. Haiti was the number one producer of sugar, when the sugar plantations were burned to the ground, France had to sell Louisiana for pennies on the dollar, they damn near went bankrupt.
@@CrowdPleeza don't know if you'll see this, but whilst chattel slavery ended, the south during jim crow invented new crimes to mass arrest black people and use them for prison labor, even renting them out to northern companies such as US Steel. This system, known as convict leasing, lasted until WW2.

@@CrowdPleeza Did you read the book The Half Has Never Been Told or the book They Were Her Property?

If you'd read the book, you'd understand the absurdity of the comparison.
All that Stolen and blood land smh
Devil's 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈

In capitalism you work for $...if the system is not that...it's not capitalism..it is something else
Capitalism is the selling of goods and services, but who gets paid for those goods and services and who provides those goods and services is something else.
No it was definitely capitalism but the difference is that the labor was done by people that were considered property... Blacks were both the machines in the factory and the cattle on the ranch...
kids ....please child should be on point as a writer.
Lies
They never discuss all the "people of color" that owned slaves.
What point are you trying to make?
Exactly! What percentage of people of color owned slaves and served in elected positions, and appointed judicial positions to write and interpret legislation?
"Colored" slaveowners existed but were insignificant and equally wrong, as the slavery-permitting Constitution was wrong. Why do today's racists even CARE?
The slaves served the greater good of the collective. Only capitalists would oppose slavery due to the individual rights of the slaves.
NOPE dont even try it.
You sound like a hardcore racist are you Klu Klux Klan are you some kind of skinhead how did the slaves serves for the greater good of the collective there was no motherfuking Collective just like there ain't no Collective Now

Judo Lover wow, but yet Caucasians put lies out on the media.. Ok👍 Because he's telling the truth you would say its lies ok whatever!
+Judo Lover Well, admitting that about yourself was an important first step...
No truth, really........even USA presidents owned slavess .......The Most High God will handle judgement for slavery.
Capitalism puts out more propaganda than anything else.
The truth hurts but not even close to the hurt they endured.With liberty and justice for all.......we're not there yet.Reparations should happen but sadly never will I suppose.
