Most of the low class people still live in poverty white or black. We can only be glad we are more educated. Jesus was hung on a stake.
Does that mean the Jews blame you and I? Put the past behind us. Just get along live for the future. Armand Zunder. Approximately half a million Africans were brought to the area that would become the USA, according to Professor Gates see above. Henry Louis Gates Jr. We all have different levels of education but education and all your learned knowledge never passes up or is needed to understand all that exists because unconditional love and the answers to all earths questions are already within you but God requires us to be pure and he is in control of all good n all evil.
Did a vast white army invade Africa and capture blacks or were they sold by warring tribes as spoils of war and sold to white slave traders. Chris, The sellers were North Africans the middlemen were Jewish and the buyers were Rich people from around the known world with probably about the same amount of white people as black people sold.
Some of your possible ancestry was castrated and forced to serve some master if you are of European decent. Music Man, can you point me to the sources of the information in your comment? A white army did invade Africa. Long before the slave trade.. And some black tribes did sale captured blacks from other tribes to slavers. However, they were wrong for that. All of them. The answer is mostly from warring tribes, however tribal warfare has always existed and even in other regions like North America no?
You were correct and saying warring tribes but do you understand it? Whats your excuse for Native Americans atrocities? They should own up too, for standing in your way of manifest destiny? There is no argument, justification for slavery of any human being. The atrocities, whether it was African slaves, Native Americans or Jewish people is just a disgusting evil. I try to educate myself, to ferret out the truth. It is sickening research. I become ill by the information, it is a truly a small discomfort compared to the conditions slave families had to endure.
If they survived. Census rolls with a 10 year old child listed as property and no name. Now think of your child on that list. There is a good article on the evolution of slave trade in Republic of Benin which, as I understand it, was the major deportation port of enslaved Africans.
Until about 10 years ago I never heard of any war fought that would have led to 12 million people being sold in Africa. What happened to that wealth? Why have no nation requested reparations for losing so many people? African tribes sued for reparations from Germany for crimes hidden long before slavery, yet no claim for the black people in America. Neither does hundreds of people traveling for months at a time stacked on top of each other with no food or fresh water all while urinating and defecating on each other, yet marched to an auction block upon arrival.
My 2 yo grandchild sits on my lap for 5 minutes and my legs feels numb. The atlantic slave trade narrative is less probable than mission impossible. My question to you is what could black people possibly take responsibility for? There is not one record stating who their descendants are or where they came from. So there was barely enough food and water to sustain life, and many died along the way from suffocation, starvation, disease, beatings, and suicides by drowning.
You probably had not heard of all this because it has not been well-described in our history textbooks nor in popular literature. That does not mean it did not happen, but only that many historians and book publishers did not value Black lives enough to research and write about this horrific trade in human beings — or that it was simply so ugly than they did not wish for Americans to learn these shameful parts of our history.
As is true for many countries, the triumphant, glorious parts of history get told and retold, and the embarrassing or horrifying parts get ignored or buried. Why is finding who owes reparations so hard? Slavery was well documented by the owners. Ledgers with names and worths! Has anyone even tried to honestly research these documents? The information is there, maybe we need to silence our politicians and allow for some meaningful dialogue.
Brianna, hopefully you found the answer to your important question within this exhibit. Depends which part of the Americas. There are three countries that belong to the North American continent The U. It depends where one looks — but there are records that indicate that the Portuguese charged high prices for the slaves and the number of slaves available during the Spanish rule in North America were not sufficient to meet the needs of the colony and so records indicate that in that part of North America, under Spanish Rule, before it became Mexico and before the U.
S of America invaded what had become Mexico there were about 6, Africans in New Spain and about 3, African in Central America Central Americas population and land mass is much small than Mexico.
The U. Slavery was illegal in Mexico. But the majority of the Slaves ended up in South America, Brazil, Brazil had over 4 million African slaves and the Caribbean I think it was Cuba and Puerto that held out and continued the slave trade until s, with Cuba being the last to stop the import of Slavery.
