Technically, Serfdom was slavery (Slave belongs to Slaver owner, Serf belongs to Landlord)... So in the biggest Slavs country in the world, Russia, Slavery only ended in 1906 with the abolition of serfdom.
Crazy that we're Free in America and there are STILL TO THIS DAY OVER A MILLION SLAVES IN AFRICA TODAY AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES... Sorry about the all caps it had a mind of it's own sometimes🤦🏼♀️ Ireland are still having issues within the country...China has Slave Laborers it's insane that they're not fighting to Free every Slave in any country instead they've never been slaves and have never met someone who owned one🙁 How Embarrassing.
The angry young man is forgetting that he is not, and never has been a slave. We should never forget any of our history, but we should not be fighting over what happened over a century and a half ago. Too much division, leaves us open prey for our enemies.
Learning US history would be a start. It's not just these men. My daughter is white and a college grad and a friend of mine is 70 and white ( she was one of the first women to work designing computer programing) I am constantly having to teach them about US and world history. Don't even get me on Civics!
Absolutely. I’m an African-American History Teacher and I teach my community that America was wrong for inserting itself into the Slavetrade in a free country then turned around and started Slavery again from 1870-1940
@@Akkatlah Did they say it did? Pretty sure it was a rundown of places with slavery going on. It was the West Africans that captured people and made them slaves and sold them to the U.S. guys.
It’s not false… my mom is Native American and she even acknowledges what Candace Owens spoke about. People just can’t handle facts they don’t like. It’s hard for anyone to hear something so different than what they have been fed all their lives.
My great grandma didn't speak English. My grandpa didn't either until he was like 13 or 14. He was born and raised on the reservation. My grandmother on that side wasn't, but her mother was. I remember their stories from when I was REALLY little. My grandpa would have to tell us kids what his momma was saying sometimes b/c she never learned much English. She refused 😂. What she did learn, she did for "the babies", she said. But my grandparents would talk some of that history with the tribes. I had great history teachers too though. And both parents loved history and that helped.
What you native mama told you is partly true. But don’t forget that just like all the people enslaved of colonized by white Europeans she had and a enslaved and dominated mind. And that means you are not used to think further then what they tell you. The history you learn or your mama taught you is not true. German professors changed history books around 1800 to suit what they told you. 9:35 Slavery exist as long as humans exist. But the slavery and colonization like whites did to the American natives and Africans is another kind. More like the way the Vikings used to take down their enemies to take what ever they wanted. So you are partly native but even if you look white on the outside your offspring can be looking totally like a Native American Indian one day. If you believe the people that you so much want to look like, this will hunt you the rest of your days..
I’m Australian, my English mother used to say “you’ll end up in the white slave trade” as a trivial warning about getting kidnapped. So I was always aware of it.
2:18 The source he uses to 'prove' the Caribs didn't practice cannibalism actually states multiple times that they likely did. It was supposedly part of a war ritual. The quote he shows was a random quote from a source I couldn't determine, and was quite frankly seemingly out of place, but 7/8 of the times cannibalism was mentioned state that they likely ate their foes. He should have actually read his own source to be honest. (But they didn't 'practice' cannibalism, it was more of a ritual. Hence why Candice said "occasionally")
The irony is he missed her entire point… She never said slavery was somehow justified just because it happen before. It’s the perpetuation that somehow slavery belongs to “white people”(which by the way reducing so many people to a singular color is asinine. White people are German, Irish, English, Italian, Lebanese, and Egyptian. The category also includes Polish, French, Iranian, Slavic, Cajun, Chaldean, etc.) literally scattered all over the world with so many different histories that place them just as much a slave, surf etc as any other race… And that it’s something that is specific to White Americans somehow, and have really anything to do with anything in 2023… That’s the issue, is important history but it’s been weaponized to divide people
This is a dumb point though. Of course the emphasis is going to be on white americans if you live in America. majority of the slavery that happened in america was done by "white" americans against "black people", in America. This is a known fact, it's not propaganda. Y'all want German history taught in schools?
exactly. Racism wasn't the root of slavery, as it was a common practice. it was monetary, However racism became a byproduct of slavery. Understanding how and why something happened dos not automatically mean you wholeheartedly agree with said practices.
@@libertybell8852 Honestly comprehension skills aren't given to everyone... they once did a study in the usa and determined that the average american comprehends at a 7 grade level.

Yes, this administration loves to hire influencers to push their propaganda. They also love to censor others. I find it strange how many people don't have a problem with our government acting like H*tler in the 30s.
Yeah. OK. But where is the 'learning' that's supposed to be going on? Prison labor is 'slavery'? Really? Not understanding/fathoming that people were bi-lingual? That people could communicate in multiple languages? Really? IDK. All I learned was my IQ drops watching this.

We have to stand together. No more black vs white etc etc… enough. We are humans. We have the power to heal from our past if we embrace we are a human family. Thank you for giving these deeper truths time. So many people don’t know so many things….
The Royal Navy blocked Africa from translating slaves out of Africa. We were the first Country to legally ban slavery in the world followed by French, Portuguese and then the US. A US slaver brought his slave to Britain, the slave was knowledgeable and knew it was illegal in Britain. He petitioned the court in Britain for his freedom, he won his case. Britain declared once a person steps foot on British soil they became free men.
@@user-ut1en2lt8lyeah thats just not true lmfao all slavery after the civil war was illegal, the newly freed slaves started to sign contracts after the war that allowed them to continue to work for plantations and get a salary. but they did that to themselves im sure a few freemen were forced to sign but def not all of them
@@gEtBeANeD420 Ok my friend so who was hiring African-Americans to work where Whites were working? None, the Plantation was about the only option they had. Let’s keep it real and tell the truth
Irish people were also slaves in the US in the 1600s, and even up to the early 1900s were denied housing, jobs, access to public places all for being Irish in the US. My Irish ancestors experienced it when they first came here in the early 1900s.
They were indentured workers. They were never actual slaves. By the time chattel slavery was stablished the Irish were not included. It only applied to black people.
@@Akkatlah Many were forced into indentured servitude, which makes it slavery, even if not chattel; although, it wouldn't, then, be far different from chattel slavery.
@@Akkatlahthe Irish immigrants coming right off the boat the men were handed a piece of paper and we're told sign this and fight in the Civil War or get back on the boat.
When you guys were talking about how they knew where to go back and forth…. My Grandpa learned to read the stars… it’s how he escaped Communist Yugoslavia with my Grandma, Mom and Uncles.

Not all elites. That's just as broad stroke as saying whites are racist. If u do research it makes no sense for business to be political In fact they were predominatly republican till about 2010. Esg and the investment firms. Is wats cuasing this. Black rock doesn't own or traditionaly control. But if business don't follow marching orders. They pull funding
I have to admit that I used to look to you guys to get a dose of comedy. However, I am very impressed with the discussions that you guys are having. I think you are headed in the right direction. Looking forward to you guys taking your platform to the next level.
They’re not talking about the prison system… They’re talking about human trafficking that’s what we call it now because it sounds more clinical than slavery, but it’s literally the same thing. Human trafficking is taking people from one place to another place against their will and making them do stuff they don’t wanna do, it may not be cotton or tobacco anymore but it’s certainly sex and or labor
Yup. Most of the modern slaves in America are Hispanic, trafficked by gangs. If for no other reason, that's why we have to stop illegal immigration; it's forming a new slave class.
Unfortunately they are not talking about prisoners nor were they correct about the route. Sex slaves are not branded there is 50 million slaves today they have been branded and counted Sex slaves aren’t
The point in the Candace video is also that we as white people are told that we can’t understand racism or experience it because we as white people were “never marginalized or discriminated against” that simply isn’t true. People of all skin colors and nationality have experienced slavery at some point in history. All of it was wrong and no one is unique in this situation
The guy pulls up 1 Google search where it says they didn't commit cannibalism like that's the end all answer. As a historian, this makes me laugh. Cannibalism is still happening in Africa, its not as wide spread but it still happens. Ive seen videos on how they prepare body. It haunts me to this day... 😢
But, what love about this guy's as a 68 year old Hispanic woman, is the way the continue to learn and want to learn. Love thier point of view in thier young life.
@@Sonnenkind33 Look it up for yourself! Instead of believing everything you hear or refuse to believe ‼️ Read it for yourself ! NINE PLACES IN THE WORLD WERE CANNIBALISM STILL EXIST ‼️
Well here is a fun fact for you. The very first person to legally own another person for life, was Anthony Johnson who was himself a former indentured servant that had been sold by his fellow africans to america. That's right, the first american slave owner was a black man. He is also held up as the first successful black businessman and the first black land owner. History is full of interesting twists and turns.
I graduated in 1976 and I don't remember race being a big topic. But now every day someone is talking about race and racism. I don't see a end to this when news media and race hustlers are making millions of dollars from it.

I love watching you guys. It reminds me of my son and his friends sitting around and having discussion about everything. I'm gen x and I know how much crap us and baby boomers give your generation they all forget it was up to all of us to teach you and we failed. You have so much to give to the world never forget that.

The story you just watched is the origin story of the Marine Corps. They were created as the Navy's land soldiers. They are originally a part of the Navy. That's why in the Marine Corps hymn the first line is from the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. The battle you just watched the video about was fought in Tripoli.
Well, if somebody thinks Carib only did a little canniballism and therefore it wasn't bad, wait till they hear about the 50k people a year the Aztec hunted down and ate during the yearly Garland Wars. There's a reason why Tlaxcalans joined the Spanish against the Aztecs, the Tlaxcalans were embargoed by the Aztecs and they couldn't leave their territory, the Aztecs farmed them.
and sacrificing people on their alters...that rarely gets mentioned when they talk about how barbaric European settlers were (and I don't deny that some of them were - but def not all).
@@AB-ol5uz They sold the bodies afterwards, beneath the pyramids there were abattoirs. Even children which were considered a delicacy. “After they had killed them and taken out their hearts, they carried the little steps, rolling down the steps; Arriving below, they cut off the heads and snapped a stick, and the bodies were taken to the houses they called calpul, where they were distributed to eat. ”
Yeah we don't know how many the Caribs really would eat. They tried to prove this false but couldn't. So sick of Google trying to hide the truth. This is why printed books are so important. Screenshots and download items. They are trying to rewrite history.
Man I really like your videos, I’m white and it impressed me when the guy in the black shirt said I don’t judge you buy what your great, great, great grandfather did I judge you by what you did. That’s how it should be. Personally I’m of Irish decent and my family came here as indentured servants. We share a history only separated by culture which we should all embrace from each other! Continue doing these as it does make a difference.
They mainly went to North Africa to stop Tripoli, Tunisia and others from stopping and raiding our shipping. Stopping the white slavery was kind of an afterthought. The Marines went to Tripoli to free the hostages that were taken from the USS Pennsylvania that ran aground.
Those numbers are not talking about "the prison system" which is not slavery, at least not western countries prisons. it is punishment. Those numbers refer to sex slavery, child labor and forced labor (non punishment related) organ harvesting, child soldiers.
Yeah there are about 100k+ estimated slaves in America according to those stats. There are roughly 1.2 million prisoners in America. So they definitely are not referring to prisoners in the video. You're completely right.
@@american_cosmic it exists in prisons all over the globe, because being sent to prison is meant to be a punishment, either momentarily or...long term, and as such a deprivation of your rights as a citizen of X Country. This not only nothing new, but also certainly not an American-only thing: in almost every civilisations past and present , when somebody commits things that are considered against the law, then he is put aside from society. It may very well be one, if not the most ancient type of punishment, besides execution
The biggest flaw in that guy's analogy about the money being stolen, is that he saying money was stolen from him personally, where slavery never happened to him personally. He's also so "triggered" by what candace is saying that he is allowing his feelings to dictate the truth.
Okay, Gentlemen, I feel compelled to mention the obvious: *Never trust a person who cites WIKIPEDIA* 😂 You are college-graduates, please let me know if your professors accepted Wikipedia as a reference. 😂 Edit: I just realized I sounded critical of the Cartier Family, when I was trying to supply them with a tiny bit of ammunition using the Socratic method. Written comments make it difficult to convey nuance. I'm sorry. Keep doing what you're doing. And don't forget to consider memberships. I think many of us would join because we support your efforts.😊
There's nothing wrong with wiki or using wiki. Is it acceptable for a college term paper? Of course not. But nobody in this video is writing a college term paper.

Wasn’t exaggerated it was all facts! Candice knows people will be quick to try to prove her wrong so you can be sure she would make sure her facts were double checked
Here are some facts. There are particular white people who have been threatening and salivating over another civil war since trump showed up. The extreme right wing majority supreme court, three of whom as it turns out have been accepting a hell of a lot of gifts and money from billionaires, just rescinded affirmative action college admissions. You're preaching to the wrong people if you really really really denounce racism, inequality, slavery, jim crow, segregation, ethinic cleansing. These prageru cartoons are for teaching white supremacy hierarchy.
They were not double checked .. she just said what they wanted her to say. The history has been in fact changed by a German professor. the history we learn in Europe and other western countries have been rewritten to suit the white supremacy idea. So they con you once , they con you twice, stop letting them con you again and again.
There’s a difference in how facts are presented and what they’re used for. Candace Owens presents this information as if it was never known by black people in America before. It’s actually well known but she’s using it as a tool to dismiss the atrocities this country has committed against black people and dismiss its relation to the conditions it created today. Why? Because it gives her wealth, attention and validation amongst the same right wing people who hate US.
Because we as humans feel like there has to be an enemy and a victim. We can't accept the fact that we are all the enemy and all the victim. We do this stuff to ourselves over and over and over and it's still going on.
Navigating sea in the past required a tool called a sexton, a map, and the stars in the night sky. The most important star in the night sky was Polaris since its location in the sky doesn’t change. It doesn’t change because it is directly above geographic North Pole. If you’ve ever heard anyone saying “you’re my guiding star”, it’s referencing Polaris. How critical Polaris was to the ancient, medieval, renaissance, preindustrial and post-industrial world cannot be understated. Pretty much every era outside the modern era, Polaris was vital to ALL civilizations of the northern hemisphere.
It’s become a 3rd Slavery. Rich white guys started these Prisons and they have to meet quota’s because of the demands of the Investors to show a profit. Evil place Amerikkka
How many wouldn’t be there if they had real options, how many are there that have been falsely imprisoned? Who attaches schools to prisons to meet quotas so that those who invest in prisons see good gains from their investments
its a replacement for slave labor, the us economy is not sustainable without slave labor. companies even use slave(prison) labor paying cents on the hour.
Slavery did exists before Europeans came to America. The tribes here enslaved other tribes. It was common. I know for a fact that Aztecs for example would enslave neighboring tribe’s men sacrifice some of them including women and kids
Many of my Irish ancestor women were traded as slaves. Also many Irish women were captured in the US by native tribes. My 4th great grandmother was captured in Virginia.
Guys.......guys........guys they navigated by the stars. They used what's called a sextant which measured angles between two objects. Mostly used were a star/planet and the horizon. The angle then can be used along with a nautical map to plot the position of the ship.
The whole point of Candace saying that white people didn’t event slavery, is to prove that the American whites weren’t particularly evil as if proved by their ancestors abolishing slavery. It very much matters who all had slaves.
indians were slaves for a long time, think british took 45 trillion in wealth killed 100 million . than force over a million indians to fight for them in ww2 mostly in the tougher terrains then again attack india with usa in the 70s. can we just be left alone and get some of our artifacts back. I'm thinking 45 trillion is enough money and all our history was destroy by the east indian company. i wish someone looks into all the wars america was involved directly or indirectly since the 1940 also the russia found off the nazis and lost well over 26 million before the west got involved
People that were of a certain stature were not slaves, they enslaved other people, no matter the color of their skin, no matter what color we are all slaves
This misses out a large part of what really happened. Great Britain was in the thick of it, Britain had been raided by the Barbary Pirates and people were taken as slaves. The way these slaves were treated is not covered either. The USA was not alone.
My fourth great grandfather died leading a slave revolt and was killed. Thank God he had children before or I wouldn’t be here. Also, another side was Irish and indentured slavery is in my ancestry. As a former teacher who got out at common core after 15 years and tried to go back, you can not teach anything that is not produced by them. You have to teach within certain times, the same tests, etc. as all the other teachers and stay on schedule. You have no rights to teach the truth. I won’t ever be going back. They just need robots.
Nah you don’t have to…there’s plenty of private schools out there that would welcome your form of teaching. But yeah, as far as public school goes, I’m sure you’re right. Sad times we live in.
Well that explains why everybody is ignorant when they graduate and must start practically from scratch to know what reality exists around them, because they've been fed a huge pile of BS I wish insiders would have revolted a long time ago instead of abandoning the profession to the socialists, but fighting's not for everybody although we'd be better off if it was. It's not too late to make it right, and how many more children need to start life hamstrung by lies, taught to them as an education? I count the so-called "educators" as guilty as politicians in the downfall of our society, because we trusted them to educate both us and our children, but it was brainwashing instead.
I still work in a public school. It kills a part of me to teach our curriculum. It's divisive and doesn't tell the whole truth. Slavery, war, stealing land, trying to ruin other's cultures...it has been going on with ALL peoples since the beginning of time.
@@midwestribeye7820I agree. I am only a sub part of the time but its an issue for sure. While teachers may be able to use various approved methods of creatively getting the material understood, it is still whatever the curriculem says you have to teach. Many are worried about our literaccy rates in this country and I agree. Our youth needs to read more but it also needs to hear and learn many topics not being taught including that of history. Music too. How many new punk metal bands have you heard rise to fame in the past 5-10 years? Its all rap, hip hop, and pop that is being propped up everywhere. I still hear older music of various genres but hardly anything new. I hear about country music from time to time but unfortunately most people I talk to opinions tend to be its horrible music. Most kids I hear talk about their favorite singers/bands say adele, taylor swift, ariana grande, fergi, one direction. Some of which I can get behind but its not very diverse now is it in term of genres. Im sure there are new groups in various genres but they arent being brought up at all or are almost non existant. Its only when it comes to race or sex that people make a big deal out of making everything diverse. Its all because they either feel sorry for the individuals in question or feel bad because they might fit into the group of individuals who affect those supposedly struggling or being discriminated against.
Part of Texas was also part of France, thus why Texas has "Six Flags." The French, Spanish, Mexican, Republic, Confederate and American flags. Mom is a proud Southern Texas Hispanic Black Lady, and pounded Texas history down our throats since we were talking. And yes; I remember "The Alamo."😂
I don't understand why people rep the confederate flag, they were the enemy of the Union. So hanging the confederate flag is hanging the flag of your enemy. It makes no sense. It's like a Jew hanging the Nazi flag, makes no sense.
The tiktoker in the beginning was creating a false narrative. She wasn't saying Slavery was okay because it happened all over. She was stating that it wasn't a 'White' thing. It was a 'human atrocity' thing. No matter the skin color, if someone that less of your life that the worth of an object, you could be sold and bought as a slave. You were an object/product.
To the guy who asked if all language came from the same language, he was close to being right. There was a root language known as Proto-Indo-European that influenced Sanskrit, Mycenaean Greek and Ancient Greek. Because of how language evolves over time and in different locations it's difficult to pin down exactly how many languages evolved from Proto-Indo-European. However, scholars estimate approximately 445 languages have Proto-Indo-European as their root language. Extra info just because, there were other Proto languages in other areas in the world.
Yet somehow we're racist when we do and their "dunk" is thinking clapping back with "indentured servitude isn't the same thing as slavery!" Because, you know, they think the only time the Irish were slaves was at the turn of the 19th century in America. Bring up that there were Irish slaves in the US back in 1624 (give or take a couple of years) and prepare for the floodgates of self-importance (which is weird when it's about.... being a slave, like "NO! ONLY I CAN BE A SLAVE!" what?)
@@smithblack100 Read the sentence literally right after the one you're commenting about. Point being they ignore the history of the Irish prior to ~1800s. We've been slaves MULTIPLE times to multiple peoples, from prisoners of war, trophies, bought, and indentured. Cute how you're proving my point trying to paint one form of slavery as better than another form.
To the Tik Tok snowflake: we didn't steal your $500 Your brother gave it to us. Nor are we trying to justify, diminish or excuse our role in slavery. We're simply telling the truth and that broke your feminine energy.
They weren't given anything they where either bought or traded for something which was an ok deal in both their eyes at that time however the massacre and harsh treatment that came after was just the whites being horrible people
Thank you- I either missed or didn’t learn so much of this in school. You helped me learn a lot today! History is hits way harder when you are older (I’m 50)- cause I can see things from an adult perspective. Wow- I need to fill in a lot of gaps. Thanks again
I love how that guy in the video gives the "you stole $500" analogy to trivialise what Candace was trying to put across and then goes on to complain about slavery when he was never a slave and no American alive today is/was a slave owner.
27:05 "How can we go to another country to end slavery, when we have slavery in our own country?" They didn't end slavery in Northern Africa - they ended SLAVE TRADE in Northern Africa. They already ended SLAVE TRADE from Africa to USA. Slavery was still legal in USA for a time as it was still legal in Africa and around the world.
@@niceguy7171I really don't think people can wrap their heads around how there are still ACTUAL slaves in chains in 2023. Even CartierFamily thought the 100k slaves in the USA were prisoners, when it is actual sex slaves and human trafficking slaves. It is NOT prisoners that the video was referring to. There are roughly 1.2 Million people imprisoned in America. The slaves in Africa right now in 2023 are legit real slaves in chains. You used to be able to watch live African slave auctions on YT until a couple years ago they removed them (I'm sure u can find them online somewhere tho). All these people always stressing over White Americans being slave traders 200+ yrs ago, while ignoring Blk people being slave traders right now in 2023 are fk'n redacted lol 😂😂
I live by a simple rule in life "Never look down to someone unless you are helping them up." Race, Creed, Nationality etc....makes no difference to me. Our great country was built from the blood sweat and tears of slaves and I think that's a crying shame, disgusting even!!
You can buy a person in Libya for between $4,000-$10,000 and put them to work doing what you want them to do. It’s estimated 10,000-12,000 slaves were sold last year in just that country alone.
People in uk only paid off the debt incurred by fighting slavery in 20014/15, thats 5 generations for most families. In 1808 Britian set up Sierra Leone as a place for freed slaves to live.
Funny fact the original navy used to rain showers as ways to bathe when traveling also most used the alcohol they drunk to make them smell better for when they hit port

Marines’ Hymn Lyrics From the Halls of Montezuma To the Shores of Tripoli; We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea; The reference to the shores of Tripoli is about the battle against the Barbary Pirates.
What makes America different from other countries is that we fought a war to end it in America and joined England in eradicating the east Africa trading.The only real difference is the descendant in America want to be paid for an offense they weren't alive suffer by those who weren't alive to offend. At some point you have to stop teaching hate to the young. Most of our families Immigrated here after the civil war
Portugal had a huge part in the transatlantic slave trade. We have african citizens here. Imagine if they demanded that I paid them (a portuguese national just in paper and born in eastern Europe). That's how ridiculous that narrative sounds...
Descendants of those owned should be compensated especially when descendants of the owners are rich based off of the free labor which was used to gain that wealth. WTF is so hard to understand about that? And let’s not forget those slave owners were compensated for the loss of “their property”.
@@daniellethomas2725Because most of the people descended from slave owners are broke, earned their wealth after slavery was already ended, are descended from slaves too, or an combination of all three. Also no, it was the British who received compensation for their slaves. Who then waged a 100+ long war against slavery and plunged themselves into debt. Every British citizen up until 2015 has been paying off the debt to fight slavery.
Actually the war had nothing to do with slaver. Lincoln instigated the war to force the South back into the Union despite their Constitutional right to leave. The emancipation proclamation freed zero slaves. In fact there was legal slavery in northern states after the EP. Go read the EP. Also Google Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley. Lincoln shit all over the Constitution. The fact that violence was involved in ending slavery is a negative. Every other country did it peacefully. Lincoln was an authoritarian, not a statesman. Statesmen avoid wars, not start them. Most people up north didn't want war and were apathetic towards slavery. Slavery ended sooner in the north not because of morality but economic exploitation which is where the term slave wages comes from. Everything taught about Lincoln and the war is a lie. Revisionist history and propaganda. It wasn't even a civil war. The South eft the Union. They were not fighting for control of it. It was actually the 2nd American Revolution.
I'm a 62 year old white woman. I just recently found and began watching your videos. I must say, you young men have made my heart smile with your videos. I was taught this in school, I don't know when or why they stopped teaching it. We even learned the song, From halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.. 😃
Love you guys reactions especially to topics people aren't comfortable dealing with. Jefferson was pretty interesting.......he wanted slavery here to end and wrote laws pushing for the end while at the same time owning slaves. To be fair, he didn't invent or even bring slavery to America he just operated in it's system. Great video👍
So the guy thinks that what happened in "the ottoman empire" doesn't apply to now, so why should what happened several generations in the past apply now?
I'm from Europe, so I was wondering. In Europe (Belgium), from middle school on, we had history lessons about Ancient Egypt, Old Greece, The Romans etc. and there we were all taught about slavery etc. Isn't that in the standard curriculum in the USA? Also in the Old Testament, they are talking about slavery (Moses lead them out of Egypt...)
I literally had a conversation with someone not too long ago on how they believed slavery in America is still a more pressing matter that needs to be addressed before dealing with the millions of people who are living as slaves today...
had a friend which happens to be black, tell me slavery of white people in history because it didint happen in america and that when the topic of slavery gets brought up between us in any kinda debate that it is anecdotal to bring that up as a point lol. which tbh is ironic to me because its dismissive of someone elses cultural plight while prompting up your own cultures plight thats the exact same plight that they went through but you only show signs of caring when it was your ancestors but not anyone elses, but still expect sympathy after having that stance.
@@Abionxbecause so many have made that so much of their identity, they don't know who or what to be w/o that victim mindset. If they let that go, then it puts more responsibility on them. I have a friend that for a LONG time everywhere we went if anyone looked at him, it was because he was black. He LOOKED for slights in everything. One day, I had enough and was like "people stare at you because you are 6'6"! You're HUGE! And also because you look at everyone, even kids, with that hateful ass look on your face LOOKING for racism so of COURSE you see it everywhere! You know what you're doing? Stereotyping and profiling. We ALL do that. If you see a white person walking down the road, they're dirty, sweaty, thin, clothes all a mess, do you assume they're a meth addict or do you assume their car broke down? I'm saying probably the first one. And I've watched YOU move over when some black people walk by, why is that? Did you assume based on their looks and actions that they were up to no good, or were you just being nice and giving them space? Stop looking for excuses to be pissed off because YOU are just as guilty of being biased as you accuse everyone else of being." He didn't speak to me for about a month, then when he did, he told me that after he got over being pissed, he realized that I was just being a friend. He's FINALLY married now and happy, but he had to let go of all that first. 🤷♀️ crazy how much it can impact you, ya know?
People forget about the political nature of people when this subject is talked about. Like it would of been easy to do. It would of caused a revolt right after the revolutionary war while we were weak and weary.
@Merlinious Exactly e.g. Quran advised Muslims to free slaves one at a time and if they had the finances to do it because there was a whole infrastructure built by humans.
It was only 24 years later, though, in 1800, that Congress passed an Act that made it illegal for Americans to engage in the slave trade between nations, and gave U.S. authorities the right to seize slave ships which were caught transporting slaves and confiscate their cargo. Then the "Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves" took effect in 1808.
Yeah guys that's why studying & keeping track of the stars & seasons were so important.To know where the stars are & supposed to be ,that way you can use them to orient yourself & know where you are,it will help you articulate your trip.😊
At 1:43, JwilliamJ8 started off with the premise of "If you were in my house and stole $500 and someone else brought up how theft has always been around". Put the premise into PROPER context! If he had said, "Let's say 160 years ago you stole $500 from my ancestors and someone else brought up how theft has always been around." Ain't no person in the United States now been a legal slave! NONE of the people, black or white or any other color. And slavery was made illegal when? And we are STILL talking about it?! Love your channel guys!
He misrepresented nothing and his question stand. What does slavery in ancient times and 19th century North Africa has to do with slavery in the United States? She wants to justify one with the other
My great great grandmother was an Irish indentured servant, same as saying a slave. This is verified info, brought to America from Ireland with an English family landed on North Carolina coast in 1780.
I recently started listening to the forgotten history Channel and its really good! You guys are making very unique and thought provoking videos ❤ I'm glad I found your channel.
How people navigated ships back in the day : Constellation position to find your longitude/latitude, Compass for directional guidance during the day based off of their night readings.
I love how y’all bring up such good questions along the way. Back in the day we had “cartographers”. They were people who made maps. When I say they made maps, I don’t mean just drawing them or printing them….. they explored unknown places and charted them. There are some amazing movies about that. The British were huge explorers. And you’re right about not knowing where they were or where they were going…. That’s how Iceland and Greenland were named opposite their actual environment. Greenland is full of artcic landscape, tundra…. But Iceland is green and pretty. Also, the English language is based on Greek and Latin mostly. Other languages came from that also. The far East languages and Middle East languages are different…. Probably from Sanskrit. I don’t know the answer to that one. BUT most people did learn to speak English because of the colonization by Great Britain. Since most of the world they were trading with or wanted to trade with spoke English, a lot of non-English or colonized people learned English in school, still do.
It was brought up a few times about how the Americans went to Tripoli to rescue the white Americans from the slave trade but didn't feel the same about freeing black slaves in America. My first thought was that the African countries should have tried to rescue them militarily or diplomatically but didn't have the Naval power to come to rescue their slaves. But, they did have enough naval power and organization to raid European ships for slaves, especially the women. It was brought up by Candice Owens and possibly other videos you've seen that the different African tribes were the ones selling their captives as slaves to the Europeans. So what those countries like Tripoli, Morocco and Libya didn't have was a desire to rescue those slaves.
In New England we learned all this in school in the 80's & 90's. Not sure when it stopped. The pirates were seriously disrupting the shipping at this time and that was huge part of the economy. It was a regular thing for them to ransom the sailors back to the government. They went and got them back and put a serious dent in the trade overall. This video was covering more of that situation than the white slave trade where the pirates would pull up to England, Ireland and such and round up a whole village and enslave them. Teddy Roosevelt had to deal with the pirates again in 1904.
Curious they dient teach this in the South. Southern Democrats werent having it. It woukd ahow slavery wasnt about race. Slaves were taken from communities and countries that couldnt defend themselves and stop it.
I learned it in ct in the early 90s but when we moved to ga mid90s it was taught differently. Really depends on the state you grow up in. We should really get a national education program not state by state based.
America definition of open mind is black people denying slavery and loving YT people even though y'all killed millions of black people because of their skin color.
Slavery was a worldwide practice. Some people were sold to prevent starvation, some became slaves due to debt, some prisoners of war, and some based on capture for profit. The problem is people today don't fully appreciate the hardships of countries in specific time periods.
since ancient times people were navigating in the sea by observing the direction and position of the sun and stars. Ancient Greeks were navigating the seas using the pole stars because they did not disappear below the horizon and could be seen consistently throughout the night.
Been watching you guys for the past year now. I must say, I genuinely appreciate your willingness to confront difficult and relevant topics. You give me hope in a seemingly lost generation. I hope that you continue to grow into the kind of men our country needs.
not only did they use a compass, they also used a sexton, this is a device that you use at night, you get your position on the planet by finding certain designated stars in the sky, star positions NEVER change, that is how they navigated in those days, MOST ships TODAY still use the sexton as a backup to the electronic navigation that is primarily used today, but the sexton is still used extensively.
The only conclusion you all should have is what MLK said. For no matter the color of our skins, good and evil exist. And America as a country is no different to this. So Americans should focus on the good instead of getting divided by race, gender, politics or religion.
@@tennisplayer5490 Yes, nevermind them! Don't call out evil when you see it, don't try to fix problems... don't try to address systemic/institutional racism... just focus on the good! Lol what a crock of shit.
Moral of the story - slavery is sad and wrong, regardless of skin color.
I wish more ppl thought like this it’s sad it’s in the past it’s part of our history but we have to learn from it do better and move on from that
Boom.
Slavery was also indentured servitude to pay for their living, but according to the Bible, they were supposed to be released after 7 years.
agreed but the problem is the west won't stop bombing or creating conflicts with third world countries...
mk mackay lol
The word slave comes from white Slavs who were enslaved for centuries.
Thank you.
Technically, Serfdom was slavery (Slave belongs to Slaver owner, Serf belongs to Landlord)... So in the biggest Slavs country in the world, Russia, Slavery only ended in 1906 with the abolition of serfdom.
Yup. And they’re still trying to eliminate them (us/me) for anything beyond sex slavery, cheap labor, and cannon fodder for the news stories.
Crazy that we're Free in America and there are STILL TO THIS DAY OVER A MILLION SLAVES IN AFRICA TODAY AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES... Sorry about the all caps it had a mind of it's own sometimes🤦🏼♀️ Ireland are still having issues within the country...China has Slave Laborers it's insane that they're not fighting to Free every Slave in any country instead they've never been slaves and have never met someone who owned one🙁 How Embarrassing.
wow...really?!
The angry young man is forgetting that he is not, and never has been a slave. We should never forget any of our history, but we should not be fighting over what happened over a century and a half ago. Too much division, leaves us open prey for our enemies.

What does North African slave trade have to do with slavery in the United States?
@@Akkatlahabsolutely nothing. Because it never happened.
@@Akkatlah
Nothing.
Particular white people have issues.
@@Akkatlah Did they say it did? Pretty sure it was a rundown of places with slavery going on. It was the West Africans that captured people and made them slaves and sold them to the U.S. guys.
It’s not false… my mom is Native American and she even acknowledges what Candace Owens spoke about. People just can’t handle facts they don’t like. It’s hard for anyone to hear something so different than what they have been fed all their lives.
My great grandma didn't speak English. My grandpa didn't either until he was like 13 or 14. He was born and raised on the reservation. My grandmother on that side wasn't, but her mother was. I remember their stories from when I was REALLY little. My grandpa would have to tell us kids what his momma was saying sometimes b/c she never learned much English. She refused 😂. What she did learn, she did for "the babies", she said. But my grandparents would talk some of that history with the tribes.
I had great history teachers too though. And both parents loved history and that helped.
You couldn't be more wrong.
My grandma also said they told her grandparents they were negros when really they were natives with dark skin 😮
@@libertybell8852What an awesome insight, its in stories like this, that give such value and understanding to our world 😀
What you native mama told you is partly true. But don’t forget that just like all the people enslaved of colonized by white Europeans she had and a enslaved and dominated mind. And that means you are not used to think further then what they tell you. The history you learn or your mama taught you is not true. German professors changed history books around 1800 to suit what they told you. 9:35 Slavery exist as long as humans exist. But the slavery and colonization like whites did to the American natives and Africans is another kind. More like the way the Vikings used to take down their enemies to take what ever they wanted. So you are partly native but even if you look white on the outside your offspring can be looking totally like a Native American Indian one day. If you believe the people that you so much want to look like, this will hunt you the rest of your days..
I’m Australian, my English mother used to say “you’ll end up in the white slave trade” as a trivial warning about getting kidnapped. So I was always aware of it.
2:18 The source he uses to 'prove' the Caribs didn't practice cannibalism actually states multiple times that they likely did. It was supposedly part of a war ritual. The quote he shows was a random quote from a source I couldn't determine, and was quite frankly seemingly out of place, but 7/8 of the times cannibalism was mentioned state that they likely ate their foes. He should have actually read his own source to be honest. (But they didn't 'practice' cannibalism, it was more of a ritual. Hence why Candice said "occasionally")
Spot on…
The irony is he missed her entire point… She never said slavery was somehow justified just because it happen before. It’s the perpetuation that somehow slavery belongs to “white people”(which by the way reducing so many people to a singular color is asinine. White people are German, Irish, English, Italian, Lebanese, and Egyptian. The category also includes Polish, French, Iranian, Slavic, Cajun, Chaldean, etc.) literally scattered all over the world with so many different histories that place them just as much a slave, surf etc as any other race… And that it’s something that is specific to White Americans somehow, and have really anything to do with anything in 2023… That’s the issue, is important history but it’s been weaponized to divide people
This is a dumb point though. Of course the emphasis is going to be on white americans if you live in America. majority of the slavery that happened in america was done by "white" americans against "black people", in America. This is a known fact, it's not propaganda. Y'all want German history taught in schools?
exactly. Racism wasn't the root of slavery, as it was a common practice. it was monetary, However racism became a byproduct of slavery. Understanding how and why something happened dos not automatically mean you wholeheartedly agree with said practices.
No Klandace believes that black people think that only white people enslaved others, which is not true

The Royal Navy blocked Africa from translating slaves out of Africa. We were the first Country to legally ban slavery in the world followed by French, Portuguese and then the US.
A US slaver brought his slave to Britain, the slave was knowledgeable and knew it was illegal in Britain. He petitioned the court in Britain for his freedom, he won his case. Britain declared once a person steps foot on British soil they became free men.

They’re not talking about the prison system… They’re talking about human trafficking that’s what we call it now because it sounds more clinical than slavery, but it’s literally the same thing. Human trafficking is taking people from one place to another place against their will and making them do stuff they don’t wanna do, it may not be cotton or tobacco anymore but it’s certainly sex and or labor
Yup. Most of the modern slaves in America are Hispanic, trafficked by gangs. If for no other reason, that's why we have to stop illegal immigration; it's forming a new slave class.
Does human trafficking include a military draft?

Yeah there are about 100k+ estimated slaves in America according to those stats. There are roughly 1.2 million prisoners in America. So they definitely are not referring to prisoners in the video. You're completely right.
Just as an aside; slavery absolutely still exists in the U.S. prison system... it's specifically allowed for in the Constitution.
@@american_cosmic it exists in prisons all over the globe, because being sent to prison is meant to be a punishment, either momentarily or...long term, and as such a deprivation of your rights as a citizen of X Country.

Here are some facts.
There are particular white people who have been threatening and salivating over another civil war since trump showed up.
The extreme right wing majority supreme court, three of whom as it turns out have been accepting a hell of a lot of gifts and money from billionaires, just rescinded affirmative action college admissions.
You're preaching to the wrong people if you really really really denounce racism, inequality, slavery, jim crow, segregation, ethinic cleansing.
These prageru cartoons are for teaching white supremacy hierarchy.
They were not double checked .. she just said what they wanted her to say. The history has been in fact changed by a German professor. the history we learn in Europe and other western countries have been rewritten to suit the white supremacy idea. So they con you once , they con you twice, stop letting them con you again and again.
Just check the references and source material cited. It's not that hard. Oh, this is America! I almost forgot how terrible our educational system is.
There’s a difference in how facts are presented and what they’re used for. Candace Owens presents this information as if it was never known by black people in America before. It’s actually well known but she’s using it as a tool to dismiss the atrocities this country has committed against black people and dismiss its relation to the conditions it created today. Why? Because it gives her wealth, attention and validation amongst the same right wing people who hate US.
You carry on believing everything your told by political figures 😂😂😂
Because we as humans feel like there has to be an enemy and a victim. We can't accept the fact that we are all the enemy and all the victim. We do this stuff to ourselves over and over and over and it's still going on.
My dude cracked me up so concerned about Lafayette 🤣
Navigating sea in the past required a tool called a sexton, a map, and the stars in the night sky.
The most important star in the night sky was Polaris since its location in the sky doesn’t change. It doesn’t change because it is directly above geographic North Pole.
If you’ve ever heard anyone saying “you’re my guiding star”, it’s referencing Polaris. How critical Polaris was to the ancient, medieval, renaissance, preindustrial and post-industrial world cannot be understated. Pretty much every era outside the modern era, Polaris was vital to ALL civilizations of the northern hemisphere.
The prison system isn’t slavery, it’s punishment for a crime.
It’s become a 3rd Slavery. Rich white guys started these Prisons and they have to meet quota’s because of the demands of the Investors to show a profit. Evil place Amerikkka
How many wouldn’t be there if they had real options, how many are there that have been falsely imprisoned? Who attaches schools to prisons to meet quotas so that those who invest in prisons see good gains from their investments
its a replacement for slave labor, the us economy is not sustainable without slave labor. companies even use slave(prison) labor paying cents on the hour.
Slavery did exists before Europeans came to America. The tribes here enslaved other tribes. It was common. I know for a fact that Aztecs for example would enslave neighboring tribe’s men sacrifice some of them including women and kids
Slavery's existed just about as long as homosapians have (if not longer, 100% a Neanderthal could have made one of us their bitch if they wanted to).
Well, we know that there were millions of European slave owners
@@tajgibson8776 and there were also millions of none European slave owners. And there still are
@@tajgibson8776 millions? Lol. When history and demography are optional
Many of my Irish ancestor women were traded as slaves. Also many Irish women were captured in the US by native tribes. My 4th great grandmother was captured in Virginia.
Guys.......guys........guys they navigated by the stars. They used what's called a sextant which measured angles between two objects. Mostly used were a star/planet and the horizon. The angle then can be used along with a nautical map to plot the position of the ship.
The whole point of Candace saying that white people didn’t event slavery, is to prove that the American whites weren’t particularly evil as if proved by their ancestors abolishing slavery. It very much matters who all had slaves.
indians were slaves for a long time, think british took 45 trillion in wealth killed 100 million . than force over a million indians to fight for them in ww2 mostly in the tougher terrains then again attack india with usa in the 70s. can we just be left alone and get some of our artifacts back. I'm thinking 45 trillion is enough money and all our history was destroy by the east indian company. i wish someone looks into all the wars america was involved directly or indirectly since the 1940 also the russia found off the nazis and lost well over 26 million before the west got involved
wait what whose this I'm so confused on where i am
It pains me to see, what should be considered four otherwise intelligent guys, act the fool. I'm pissed off at your teachers.
People that were of a certain stature were not slaves, they enslaved other people, no matter the color of their skin, no matter what color we are all slaves
Yeah AFRICANS HAD THE MOST SLAVES
It wasn't about just slavery, it was also about piracy.
Love you guys for the unintentional comedy: "Drive a wind ship..." Ya mean sailing?
This misses out a large part of what really happened. Great Britain was in the thick of it, Britain had been raided by the Barbary Pirates and people were taken as slaves. The way these slaves were treated is not covered either. The USA was not alone.
My fourth great grandfather died leading a slave revolt and was killed. Thank God he had children before or I wouldn’t be here. Also, another side was Irish and indentured slavery is in my ancestry. As a former teacher who got out at common core after 15 years and tried to go back, you can not teach anything that is not produced by them. You have to teach within certain times, the same tests, etc. as all the other teachers and stay on schedule. You have no rights to teach the truth. I won’t ever be going back. They just need robots.
Nah you don’t have to…there’s plenty of private schools out there that would welcome your form of teaching. But yeah, as far as public school goes, I’m sure you’re right. Sad times we live in.
Well that explains why everybody is ignorant when they graduate and must start practically from scratch to know what reality exists around them, because they've been fed a huge pile of BS I wish insiders would have revolted a long time ago instead of abandoning the profession to the socialists, but fighting's not for everybody although we'd be better off if it was. It's not too late to make it right, and how many more children need to start life hamstrung by lies, taught to them as an education? I count the so-called "educators" as guilty as politicians in the downfall of our society, because we trusted them to educate both us and our children, but it was brainwashing instead.
I still work in a public school. It kills a part of me to teach our curriculum. It's divisive and doesn't tell the whole truth. Slavery, war, stealing land, trying to ruin other's cultures...it has been going on with ALL peoples since the beginning of time.
@@midwestribeye7820I agree. I am only a sub part of the time but its an issue for sure. While teachers may be able to use various approved methods of creatively getting the material understood, it is still whatever the curriculem says you have to teach. Many are worried about our literaccy rates in this country and I agree. Our youth needs to read more but it also needs to hear and learn many topics not being taught including that of history. Music too. How many new punk metal bands have you heard rise to fame in the past 5-10 years? Its all rap, hip hop, and pop that is being propped up everywhere. I still hear older music of various genres but hardly anything new. I hear about country music from time to time but unfortunately most people I talk to opinions tend to be its horrible music. Most kids I hear talk about their favorite singers/bands say adele, taylor swift, ariana grande, fergi, one direction. Some of which I can get behind but its not very diverse now is it in term of genres. Im sure there are new groups in various genres but they arent being brought up at all or are almost non existant. Its only when it comes to race or sex that people make a big deal out of making everything diverse. Its all because they either feel sorry for the individuals in question or feel bad because they might fit into the group of individuals who affect those supposedly struggling or being discriminated against.
@@midwestribeye7820 quit or you’re part of it.
Part of Texas was also part of France, thus why Texas has "Six Flags." The French, Spanish, Mexican, Republic, Confederate and American flags. Mom is a proud Southern Texas Hispanic Black Lady, and pounded Texas history down our throats since we were talking.
And yes; I remember "The Alamo."😂
And that's why we ain't trying to be run by nobody now. :)
there is a city called paris in texas, no?
I don't understand why people rep the confederate flag, they were the enemy of the Union. So hanging the confederate flag is hanging the flag of your enemy. It makes no sense. It's like a Jew hanging the Nazi flag, makes no sense.
I’m new to it but I love it so far.
@@homeblankingK do they really? How cool! Thank you for the info! 😊🥰
The tiktoker in the beginning was creating a false narrative. She wasn't saying Slavery was okay because it happened all over. She was stating that it wasn't a 'White' thing. It was a 'human atrocity' thing. No matter the skin color, if someone that less of your life that the worth of an object, you could be sold and bought as a slave. You were an object/product.
To the guy who asked if all language came from the same language, he was close to being right. There was a root language known as Proto-Indo-European that influenced Sanskrit, Mycenaean Greek and Ancient Greek. Because of how language evolves over time and in different locations it's difficult to pin down exactly how many languages evolved from Proto-Indo-European. However, scholars estimate approximately 445 languages have Proto-Indo-European as their root language.
Extra info just because, there were other Proto languages in other areas in the world.
My fiance is Irish. Her and every Irish I know pointed out the slave trade, then Thomas Sowell and Candace Owens opened my eyes
Every weaker nation got abused. And kept weak through abuse.
Thus Ireland .
Yet somehow we're racist when we do and their "dunk" is thinking clapping back with "indentured servitude isn't the same thing as slavery!" Because, you know, they think the only time the Irish were slaves was at the turn of the 19th century in America. Bring up that there were Irish slaves in the US back in 1624 (give or take a couple of years) and prepare for the floodgates of self-importance (which is weird when it's about.... being a slave, like "NO! ONLY I CAN BE A SLAVE!" what?)
@@CuidightheachODuinnindentured servitude is very different from chattel slavery.
The same Candace owens who made a video saying that Slavery in America was good for black people?
@@smithblack100 Read the sentence literally right after the one you're commenting about. Point being they ignore the history of the Irish prior to ~1800s. We've been slaves MULTIPLE times to multiple peoples, from prisoners of war, trophies, bought, and indentured. Cute how you're proving my point trying to paint one form of slavery as better than another form.
To the Tik Tok snowflake: we didn't steal your $500
Your brother gave it to us.
Nor are we trying to justify, diminish or excuse our role in slavery.
We're simply telling the truth and that broke your feminine energy.
@Winged1212 can't handle the truth? You sound butthurt
He spoke facts and I wouldn't say "brothers" ..
and your people are the definition of feminine energy snowflake
They weren't given anything they where either bought or traded for something which was an ok deal in both their eyes at that time however the massacre and harsh treatment that came after was just the whites being horrible people
Perfect!
So you had a role In slavery?
Thank you- I either missed or didn’t learn so much of this in school. You helped me learn a lot today! History is hits way harder when you are older (I’m 50)- cause I can see things from an adult perspective. Wow- I need to fill in a lot of gaps. Thanks again
I love how that guy in the video gives the "you stole $500" analogy to trivialise what Candace was trying to put across and then goes on to complain about slavery when he was never a slave and no American alive today is/was a slave owner.
27:05 "How can we go to another country to end slavery, when we have slavery in our own country?"
They didn't end slavery in Northern Africa - they ended SLAVE TRADE in Northern Africa. They already ended SLAVE TRADE from Africa to USA. Slavery was still legal in USA for a time as it was still legal in Africa and around the world.
Also there are more slaves in Africa NOW than there were slaves in America Then
@@niceguy7171I really don't think people can wrap their heads around how there are still ACTUAL slaves in chains in 2023. Even CartierFamily thought the 100k slaves in the USA were prisoners, when it is actual sex slaves and human trafficking slaves. It is NOT prisoners that the video was referring to. There are roughly 1.2 Million people imprisoned in America.
The slaves in Africa right now in 2023 are legit real slaves in chains. You used to be able to watch live African slave auctions on YT until a couple years ago they removed them (I'm sure u can find them online somewhere tho). All these people always stressing over White Americans being slave traders 200+ yrs ago, while ignoring Blk people being slave traders right now in 2023 are fk'n redacted lol 😂😂
TikTok boy at the beginning bringing that single mother energy hard.
Slavery in Brazil was officially abolished in 1888!
I live by a simple rule in life "Never look down to someone unless you are helping them up."
Race, Creed, Nationality etc....makes no difference to me. Our great country was built from the blood sweat and tears of slaves and I think that's a crying shame, disgusting even!!
You can buy a person in Libya for between $4,000-$10,000 and put them to work doing what you want them to do. It’s estimated 10,000-12,000 slaves were sold last year in just that country alone.
Are you black?
Exactly I know of groups who buy them and release them in other areas and help their kids go to college.
Thanks to Obama and company.
People in uk only paid off the debt incurred by fighting slavery in 20014/15, thats 5 generations for most families. In 1808 Britian set up Sierra Leone as a place for freed slaves to live.
Funny fact the original navy used to rain showers as ways to bathe when traveling also most used the alcohol they drunk to make them smell better for when they hit port
One of the most dangerous things that can happen to an impressionable mind, is to get all their information from an echo chamber.

Marines’ Hymn Lyrics
From the Halls of Montezuma To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles In the air, on land and sea;
The reference to the shores of Tripoli is about the battle against the Barbary Pirates.
What makes America different from other countries is that we fought a war to end it in America and joined England in eradicating the east Africa trading.The only real difference is the descendant in America want to be paid for an offense they weren't alive suffer by those who weren't alive to offend. At some point you have to stop teaching hate to the young. Most of our families Immigrated here after the civil war
My mother's family came in 1898.
Portugal had a huge part in the transatlantic slave trade. We have african citizens here. Imagine if they demanded that I paid them (a portuguese national just in paper and born in eastern Europe). That's how ridiculous that narrative sounds...
Descendants of those owned should be compensated especially when descendants of the owners are rich based off of the free labor which was used to gain that wealth. WTF is so hard to understand about that? And let’s not forget those slave owners were compensated for the loss of “their property”.
@@daniellethomas2725Because most of the people descended from slave owners are broke, earned their wealth after slavery was already ended, are descended from slaves too, or an combination of all three.
Also no, it was the British who received compensation for their slaves. Who then waged a 100+ long war against slavery and plunged themselves into debt. Every British citizen up until 2015 has been paying off the debt to fight slavery.
Actually the war had nothing to do with slaver. Lincoln instigated the war to force the South back into the Union despite their Constitutional right to leave. The emancipation proclamation freed zero slaves. In fact there was legal slavery in northern states after the EP. Go read the EP. Also Google Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley. Lincoln shit all over the Constitution. The fact that violence was involved in ending slavery is a negative. Every other country did it peacefully. Lincoln was an authoritarian, not a statesman. Statesmen avoid wars, not start them. Most people up north didn't want war and were apathetic towards slavery. Slavery ended sooner in the north not because of morality but economic exploitation which is where the term slave wages comes from. Everything taught about Lincoln and the war is a lie. Revisionist history and propaganda. It wasn't even a civil war. The South eft the Union. They were not fighting for control of it. It was actually the 2nd American Revolution.
The movie/book Roots even the author says it was fiction. He made it up.
I love you 4 awesome guys! Keep up the enlightening videos!!
Do not let people convince you that you are a victim when you can be a hero.
I'm a 62 year old white woman. I just recently found and began watching your videos. I must say, you young men have made my heart smile with your videos. I was taught this in school, I don't know when or why they stopped teaching it. We even learned the song, From halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.. 😃
56 year old white woman. I was NOT taught this in school. I love these young men and am learning a lot too!
Why is your race relevant? Who cares that you're white?
I trust Candace & Praguer than a random guy
Yeah I'm sure you do 😂😂😂
I think that guy can't stand losing his victimhood.
Love you guys reactions especially to topics people aren't comfortable dealing with. Jefferson was pretty interesting.......he wanted slavery here to end and wrote laws pushing for the end while at the same time owning slaves. To be fair, he didn't invent or even bring slavery to America he just operated in it's system. Great video👍
You guys are great. Learning is great. From Australia x
Gets worse when you read about the East Indian and Black Sea slave trade, let's just say it's bad, any dudes captured got castrated.

In my neck of the woods, Vancouver Island, Canada, some indigenous people raided American ships and took white slaves
I'm from Europe, so I was wondering. In Europe (Belgium), from middle school on, we had history lessons about Ancient Egypt, Old Greece, The Romans etc. and there we were all taught about slavery etc. Isn't that in the standard curriculum in the USA? Also in the Old Testament, they are talking about slavery (Moses lead them out of Egypt...)
I literally had a conversation with someone not too long ago on how they believed slavery in America is still a more pressing matter that needs to be addressed before dealing with the millions of people who are living as slaves today...
had a friend which happens to be black, tell me slavery of white people in history because it didint happen in america and that when the topic of slavery gets brought up between us in any kinda debate that it is anecdotal to bring that up as a point lol.
which tbh is ironic to me because its dismissive of someone elses cultural plight while prompting up your own cultures plight thats the exact same plight that they went through but you only show signs of caring when it was your ancestors but not anyone elses, but still expect sympathy after having that stance.
@@Abionxbecause so many have made that so much of their identity, they don't know who or what to be w/o that victim mindset. If they let that go, then it puts more responsibility on them. I have a friend that for a LONG time everywhere we went if anyone looked at him, it was because he was black. He LOOKED for slights in everything. One day, I had enough and was like "people stare at you because you are 6'6"! You're HUGE! And also because you look at everyone, even kids, with that hateful ass look on your face LOOKING for racism so of COURSE you see it everywhere! You know what you're doing? Stereotyping and profiling. We ALL do that. If you see a white person walking down the road, they're dirty, sweaty, thin, clothes all a mess, do you assume they're a meth addict or do you assume their car broke down? I'm saying probably the first one. And I've watched YOU move over when some black people walk by, why is that? Did you assume based on their looks and actions that they were up to no good, or were you just being nice and giving them space? Stop looking for excuses to be pissed off because YOU are just as guilty of being biased as you accuse everyone else of being."
He didn't speak to me for about a month, then when he did, he told me that after he got over being pissed, he realized that I was just being a friend. He's FINALLY married now and happy, but he had to let go of all that first. 🤷♀️ crazy how much it can impact you, ya know?
When writing a declaration of independence, Thomas Jefferson tried to end slavery in the declaration, but his colleagues would not let him do it
People forget about the political nature of people when this subject is talked about. Like it would of been easy to do. It would of caused a revolt right after the revolutionary war while we were weak and weary.
@Merlinious Exactly e.g. Quran advised Muslims to free slaves one at a time and if they had the finances to do it because there was a whole infrastructure built by humans.
It was only 24 years later, though, in 1800, that Congress passed an Act that made it illegal for Americans to engage in the slave trade between nations, and gave U.S. authorities the right to seize slave ships which were caught transporting slaves and confiscate their cargo. Then the "Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves" took effect in 1808.
Yeah guys that's why studying & keeping track of the stars & seasons were so important.To know where the stars are & supposed to be ,that way you can use them to orient yourself & know where you are,it will help you articulate your trip.😊
At 1:43, JwilliamJ8 started off with the premise of "If you were in my house and stole $500 and someone else brought up how theft has always been around". Put the premise into PROPER context! If he had said, "Let's say 160 years ago you stole $500 from my ancestors and someone else brought up how theft has always been around." Ain't no person in the United States now been a legal slave! NONE of the people, black or white or any other color. And slavery was made illegal when? And we are STILL talking about it?!

My great great grandmother was an Irish indentured servant, same as saying a slave. This is verified info, brought to America from Ireland with an English family landed on North Carolina coast in 1780.
Back when I was in school, they did teach us about actual history. Not anymore apparently. Time to take this country back
I'm half Irish and half Slavic. Let's talk.
America hasn’t discriminated against the since the 1920s and in return the Irish was

How people navigated ships back in the day : Constellation position to find your longitude/latitude, Compass for directional guidance during the day based off of their night readings.
I love how y’all bring up such good questions along the way. Back in the day we had “cartographers”. They were people who made maps. When I say they made maps, I don’t mean just drawing them or printing them….. they explored unknown places and charted them. There are some amazing movies about that. The British were huge explorers. And you’re right about not knowing where they were or where they were going…. That’s how Iceland and Greenland were named opposite their actual environment. Greenland is full of artcic landscape, tundra…. But Iceland is green and pretty.
Also, the English language is based on Greek and Latin mostly. Other languages came from that also. The far East languages and Middle East languages are different…. Probably from Sanskrit. I don’t know the answer to that one. BUT most people did learn to speak English because of the colonization by Great Britain. Since most of the world they were trading with or wanted to trade with spoke English, a lot of non-English or colonized people learned English in school, still do.
You 4 truly, genuinely give people hope for the future of this quickly regressing country. Just hope you know that
"You have to be a genius to use a compass"
Lol wtf?
😂
It was brought up a few times about how the Americans went to Tripoli to rescue the white Americans from the slave trade but didn't feel the same about freeing black slaves in America. My first thought was that the African countries should have tried to rescue them militarily or diplomatically but didn't have the Naval power to come to rescue their slaves. But, they did have enough naval power and organization to raid European ships for slaves, especially the women. It was brought up by Candice Owens and possibly other videos you've seen that the different African tribes were the ones selling their captives as slaves to the Europeans. So what those countries like Tripoli, Morocco and Libya didn't have was a desire to rescue those slaves.
Slavery was the norm in those days unfortunately. But we're all slaves to big brother. We're blessed to live life like we do now.
In New England we learned all this in school in the 80's & 90's. Not sure when it stopped. The pirates were seriously disrupting the shipping at this time and that was huge part of the economy. It was a regular thing for them to ransom the sailors back to the government. They went and got them back and put a serious dent in the trade overall. This video was covering more of that situation than the white slave trade where the pirates would pull up to England, Ireland and such and round up a whole village and enslave them. Teddy Roosevelt had to deal with the pirates again in 1904.
Same. I lived there in elementary school and learned it, not in this level of detail of course.
Curious they dient teach this in the South. Southern Democrats werent having it. It woukd ahow slavery wasnt about race. Slaves were taken from communities and countries that couldnt defend themselves and stop it.
I too grew up in MA in the 80's & 90's but I did not know any of this until I taught American History to my 10yr old while homeschooling.
I learned it in ct in the early 90s but when we moved to ga mid90s it was taught differently. Really depends on the state you grow up in. We should really get a national education program not state by state based.
Glade to see y'all young men having an open mind it's a rare thing these days.. keep it up..love an peace to you all
America definition of open mind is black people denying slavery and loving YT people even though y'all killed millions of black people because of their skin color.
Slavery was a worldwide practice. Some people were sold to prevent starvation, some became slaves due to debt, some prisoners of war, and some based on capture for profit. The problem is people today don't fully appreciate the hardships of countries in specific time periods.
since ancient times people were navigating in the sea by observing the direction and position of the sun and stars. Ancient Greeks were navigating the seas using the pole stars because they did not disappear below the horizon and could be seen consistently throughout the night.
They don’t teach what they don’t want you too know… ie reading, writing and arithmetic.
Been watching you guys for the past year now. I must say, I genuinely appreciate your willingness to confront difficult and relevant topics. You give me hope in a seemingly lost generation. I hope that you continue to grow into the kind of men our country needs.
They are the worst of today's generation, believing or parroting what their told without ever taking the time to learn the facts first.
not only did they use a compass, they also used a sexton, this is a device that you use at night, you get your position on the planet by finding certain designated stars in the sky, star positions NEVER change, that is how they navigated in those days, MOST ships TODAY still use the sexton as a backup to the electronic navigation that is primarily used today, but the sexton is still used extensively.
100% that young man with the dreads has committed racially motivated violence, and feels justified about it.
The only conclusion you all should have is what MLK said. For no matter the color of our skins, good and evil exist. And America as a country is no different to this. So Americans should focus on the good instead of getting divided by race, gender, politics or religion.
U mean the dividers that always existed and will always exist
@@tennisplayer5490 Yes, nevermind them! Don't call out evil when you see it, don't try to fix problems... don't try to address systemic/institutional racism... just focus on the good! Lol what a crock of shit.
