This is a very eye opening story into the Heart of the terrifying and horrific Slave Trade. To actually find a Slave Ship is outstanding! I’m so glad that some of the descendants were able to come along. It would have been extremely emotional and painful to be there! Bless them all! Back to watching!
I’m from Mobile Alabama, my ancestors including my mother lived in the all black town of the surviving slaves of the Clotida. It’s called plateau now but back then it was called African town. It was a thriving city however “ the people “ kept burning it down. It’s pretty much a Hood now but everyone goes back yearly and celebrate
I’m from Mobile Alabama. And we still celebrate every year in a city called plateau, it used to be called African town. It’s the city of the surviving slave of the clotida. My ancestors including my mother lived there, It’s a hood now though . When it was called African town, the people kept burning it down over and over.
The Clotilda needs to be raised, and conserved, and then put in a museum for people to see the actual interior of a slave ship. If this could be done with the Oseberg, it can be done with the Clotilda. You know if this was the Mayflower, it would have been done.
Nat geo didn't discover this ship wreck. They did try to present it as there own but it was all Ben Raines's research and extensive search that found it and got the descendents involved. Ben Raines should be given all credits for bringing this to light.

Since you didn’t give any proof at all, here’s a bit more information From Wikipedia: “Wreckage from Clotilda was allegedly found in 2018, but the Alabama Historical Commission ruled out the findings because of major differences between the two vessels,and apparent lack of any fire damage. In May 2019, the Alabama Historical Commission announced the wreck had finally been found by researcher Ben Raines, showing physical and forensic evidence that powerfully suggests that this is the Clotilda.”
And that means what and what does that change about history and taking accountability and responsibility they escape from their captors in a place they never wanted to come too again so what they escaped as if it makes it better this mindset is ridiculous
What that's the only thing that gives you comfort. .well only 5 percent of those so called slaves from Africa made it to the States. Now let's talk about the American indigenous people that was not sold to your people. I'll wait.
ENSLAVEMENT IS ALWAYS due to DISOBEDIENCE !!! Why is it so baffling to this world, When they reap what they sow God will NEVER BE MOCKED Obedience leads to blessings And Disobedience leads to curses For your generation , And the next And the next!
Anyone invovled in the trade is equally bad. But let's not forget that not every slave was traded or sold by will, oftentimes by force. I mean, why are you somehow distraught that the 'end user' is getting blamed..?
What was done to my people were extremely inhumane and you would have to wonder, what kind of mind would individuals like that, would have to have to look at and treat people in that manner. That mindset was worse than an animal. But I have to also ask, why would our own people sell us off like that, away from our families, homes etc. That was horrible also. They knew that it was wrong. Africa had everything. There was no excuse. We let the enemy in and once that happened it's a done deal, so it continues on til today. May God help us.

All of these descendants deserve their families land or reparations back especially when they have direct proof of the ship that brought them over. It's nice to study and all but we need to just go ahead and do what's right by those people.
The way they talking about how they came on the ship it's like the slaves in the movie Roots how they was in the cargos chained to one another laying flat on their backs some died they couldn't take it anymore
Troll Alert 🚨... Ignore the trolls. And, keep your eyes on the prize... Foundational BLK Americans (FBA) will receive reparations from the United States of America government. 🇺🇲💯
They weren't smuggled into the country against their will. They were sold by their African tribes. Human trafficking is STILL happening in Africa. These societies need the money for their economy. Seek reparations from West African Govt for selling their people as slaves all over the world.
I'm sorry what..? Even if they were sold by their tribes, it would still be against their will. Find me a single person who would willingly be SOLD and shipped across the globe. Just because they were sold by the tribes, doesn't make the trade any more acceptable. Everyone, regardless of race or nationality that played some role in it were all equally bad.
It happened just the way God said it would, in the book of the Hebrews aka the bible, about the Hebrews, also known as the Isrealites! It’s in the book of Deuteronomy!

😇💜 I'm sure when the African American finally settled they were probably great full to still be alive, but at the same time knowing they were NOT going back to Africa and MISSING their friends and family and KNOWING they were in the hands of EVIL ( they SUFFERED lynching, starvation, hangings etc. ) and also REMEMBER that the African American ( slaves ) were NOT free. The African people ( Slaves ) did NOT truly have a voice ( being told what to do asking permission for EVERYTHING ) they were also NOT allowed to learn how to read or write, and it was common for them to write the alphabet in the dirt with a stick and then erase what they had done so they didn't get caught. Also remember that they worked from dusk to dawn. So very SAD !!!😢

Simple question. Would you rather be a descendant of one of these slaves or a descendant of a slave who stayed in Benin? Google Benin, it might help you decide.
So essentially you're saying the descendants of these enslaved people should be grateful their ancestors were slaves in America & not Benin? That's the most ignorant take I ever heard, but nothing is a surprise coming from the likes of people lie you.
Boats come in different sizes, especially boats meant for a river, and nobody said ALL slave ships were huge, just that they carried many many people. A transoceanic vessel purchasing and capturing humans on the African coast and transporting them to other places is going to be significantly larger than a boat used to smuggle cargo and people up a river.
I wonder why National Geographic never comes to Africa to do similar colonialism stories. Don't Africans have such stories? Hollywood movies, perhaps? ... Aren't those stories to be told?
This goes for them not all us and we should and need to start dividing ourselves as Americans indigenous from the people who are saying they are African American black Americans or Africans that's here in America thats why they are labeled all us together.
Look up chattel slavery and truly do some soul searching if you have one because again anytime it’s about African American history we have to be reminded of others not even being able to keep focused on what happened to us on the backs of others and All of who were enslaved benefits from it except us So again I truly wonder do some of you have a soul because you come here to watch our history and the horrific atrocities that happened to us and you say others were slaves I have never seen a group people that don’t even understand accountability for anything but will shift blame Those with mindsets like this will reap their reward and The Most High will do it
Slavery has been around since the beginning of time. It did not start with blk folk. Several/ most cultures/races has also experienced Slavery . It will never truly end. Theres absolutely not a doggon thing we can do about it and hating a person skin color for something they didnt do is FATHERLESS. Nobody trying to erase what happened, we have just moved on from our past and made the best lives we can. Not cry abt it and use it as pity party and crutch for not being productive or educated person of society.

The African Kings rounded up fellow Africans and imprisoned them, sold them off to the Arabs and European traders. Does that hurt your heart also?

The slave trade ended in 1808, as required by the Constitution. Clotilda broke the law 52 years later.
216 years later
There were slaves until 1960’s. If you count the kids they just found in West Virginia we can make that 2024
Slavery ended in 2010 when Mississippi filled the last document ending slavery.

Since you didn’t give any proof at all, here’s a bit more information From Wikipedia:
“Wreckage from Clotilda was allegedly found in 2018, but the Alabama Historical Commission ruled out the findings because of major differences between the two vessels,and apparent lack of any fire damage.

They did eventually find remnants of the actual ship. The first wreck was too long to fit the Clotilda's description.

Aww they are very proud of you pawpaw 😢

Why would you call yourself an fba the usa government did'nt respect our enslaved west african ancestors and they don't respect their descendants me & you of course reparation needs to be paid by suing the united states government and hiring an attorney /lobbyist to represent the descendants of enslaved west Africans in the usa congress not by running up on a random politician saying cut the check.
lol the lies
Mayer was a joo-ish name. Why haven’t Africans returned to Africa? It’s been almost 300 years?!
I’m sure people would if they could afford it 🤣
@@Wildchild1876 Sounded like a dream so one would find a way even if it took years so don’t give up so quickly
You sound racist, and uneducated about REAL history.
Why haven't Caucasians returned to Europe? It's been over 300 years. I'm sure they can afford it. They would welcome you all back with open arms.
Maybe we can take Wildchild1876 👆🏻 with us too! Between the three of us, we should be able to find some trouble to get into. jk 😉
Im sorry but this just not resonating with me for several reasons. I always find it funny that we question nothing about the Slave Narrative…I mean we literally show no apprehension that we show everything else.
