Yes, and in spite of that the brainwashed idiots STILL believe Britain should pay HUGE reparations to the modern day "free" sixth generational decendants of an African slave trade it DIDNT start, - yes a certain small number of individuals profited by it, but it was already WELL established by then. - and totally ignoring the fact that it expended a HUGE amount of its own national finances, prestige, and blood, sweat and tears almost single handedly for over a hundred years to END the WHOLE barbaric practice for good by everyone. Britain didnt simply end the supply of slaves to the west - it stopped it dead over virtually the whole PLANET. - even in the minds of the British Empire haters THAT should be something WE can be proud of. A question that puzzles ME ( o.k actually it doesnt) is.......where is the left and BLM etc on demanding the SAME reparations from those exclusively Isl*mic Arabs who CONDUCTED AND RAN the whole slave trade for nearly a thousand unbroken years by buying them direcly for a few beads from African tribal chiefs, then marching them to the coasts and SELLING them to white traders ?...........oh thats right.........NOT A PEEP !. sadly it is NOT about righting historical wrongs - it never was, - but simply making political trouble for their right wing opponents......and profiting on the back of it, the whole thing is one big grift......but the propaganda machine hides that so well.
@@da90sReAlvloc Ah yes the Bible ( also known as the goat herders guide to the universe ), the Bible shall we say is unfortunately less than reliable when it comes to truth or fact. I tried to seek out truth in the Bible only to find there wasn't much to be found. I would have to be willfully ignorant of reality in order to believe the Bibles so called truth. The religious also blindly believe what they are told. They don't question it because they don't want to know any truth that doesn't jive with what they want to believe.
@@kosys5338 That book which just happens to have accurately predicted many events thousands of years before they occurred. That book also just happens to be the only ancient text to get the creation account accurate scientifically, down to the conditions of the earth. How ironic you say no one questions it, yet the Bible clearly says to test everything and only hold to that which proves true. Clearly you don't know much about this "book" you disdain so much.
The British too was taken as slaves from the coast of Cornwall England by Arab sailors, and then sold into slavery, the famous song was written about it, that’s where the song lyrics rule Britannia Britannia rules the waves we will never never never ever be slaves, then Britain was put on a quest to stop slavery around the world
FGS WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THAT BS FROM ?? FIRSTLY IT WAS BARBARY SLAVERY NOT ARABS AND RULE BRITANNIA WAS WRITTEN AS A POEM IT WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SLAVERY BUT POWER IN THE SEA AGAINST FRANCE.
Every nation in the world all share the guilt of slavery. No use going on about it end human trafficking now then slavery will end, it's now that's important not the past.
China and South Korea demand responsibility from Japan every year, for the deeds of the Empire of Japan. But yeah, nobody demands anything from Russia because everybody knows it'd be useless and Russia's victim game is second to none. Belgium has recently got flak for Leopold II's personal empire. No idea why the Netherlands isn't getting blamed more. Perhaps Portugal and Spain were spared because after the collapse of their empires, those newly independent countries themselves didn't always manage to get their act together all that well. France has managed to slither away from quite a lot, but not entirely. The USA has a whole lot of frothing enemies out there, so you shouldn't be envious of them.
I honestly believe that Thomas Sowell's research should be taught in every school. His research and opinions are legit. We would all be better off learning from our true past.

I agreed about this information should be included as standard in USA education but I do have reservations about Thomas Sowell and is ultra conservative views.
The truth is that while the Arab slave trade was transporting hundreds of thousands of slaves, Great Britain was transporting MILLIONS of slaves - before we eventually got round to abolishing slavery. Dr. Sowell is white washing slavery by pushing all the blame onto Arabic nations to deflect from the much greater guilt of the UK and the US and other European nations.
It was actually never hidden...it was in the history books. Britain just finished paying off the debt expense associated with this liberation, in 2016 I believe...
Democrats that enslaved black people should be forced to pay reparations to ALL of America. The GOP gave BLOOD to free black people, we are paid in full.
Every culture, race, and creed of people were at one point a slave to another. In fact the word "slave" originates from the word "Slavic", when Slavs were traded as slaves in Spain and North Africa by Muslims. The fact that its ingrained into human history is undeniable. Its time to take the lessons that history has shown us and move forward. Slavery still exists today in the form of 'Human Trafficking'. Lets focus on stopping that and not what happened in the past.
@@johoney5458 New FAIR Cost Study: Illegal Immigration Now Costs American Taxpayers At Least $151 Billion a Year - - - WASHINGTON, March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) finds that, as of 2022, American taxpayers shell out at least $151 billion each year to cover the cost of illegal immigration. Broken down, the data reveals that taxpayers pay $182 billion annually to provide services and benefits to illegal aliens and their dependents. These costs are offset by about $31 billion in taxes that are collected from the estimated 15.5 million illegal aliens living in the United States, bringing the net cost to $150.7 billion annually. The 2022 costs represent a 30 percent increase to taxpayers in just five years. A former version of this study, conducted in 2017 by FAIR, placed the annual net cost of illegal immigration at $116 billion. Most of the additional costs have been added in the past two years, as the Biden administration's de facto open borders policies have triggered a historic surge of new illegal migrants pouring across our borders. Moreover, the updated price tag of $151 billion is a conservative estimate as there are additional costs incurred from illegal immigration, but there is currently insufficient data to provide reliable cost estimates. FAIR's comprehensive analysis looks at available federal, state, and local programs and services that are directly accessible to illegal aliens, or indirectly, through their U.S.-born children who qualify for all means-tested programs. In addition to the surge of illegal immigration since 2021, state and local governments have offered a variety of new benefits and services to illegal aliens, which have exacerbated the situation for struggling taxpayers. Among the key findings in FAIR's report, The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers: The gross annual cost of illegal immigration (the total amount before taxes paid by illegal aliens are factored in) is now $182 billion, annually. Taxes paid by illegal aliens only cover around 17.2 percent of the costs they create for American citizens, bringing the net cost to $150.7 billion a year. The largest component of the cost is K-12 education, which must be provided under a 1982 Supreme Court ruling. The annual K-12 education cost for illegal aliens (and their U.S.-born children) is $78 billion, of which $70.4 billion is borne by states and localities. Health care for illegal aliens costs taxpayers about $42.7 billion annually. A variety of food assistance and nutritional programs used by illegal aliens and their children cost taxpayers about $13.5 billion annually. Combined federal, state, and local criminal justice costs associated with illegal immigration run about $47 billion annually - not including the cost of damages to victims.
it also exists in the form of economic slavery. Unnecessarily high taxes, then using that as an excuse for welfare. Both those things need to go. It is one more attempt at forcing socialism which will never work.
The reason for reflection in the past is because of a large proportion of people are under the impression that the British were the instigators and were responsible for the slave trade. I hope these people are enlightened about the truth of the matter and acknowledge it.
Those also believe slavery started in America. Too many generations believe absolutely false info they were taught in our Democratic run public schools. I've come across some that believe we started ww2, and that we had no reason to bomb Japan. It truly is pathetic what they have taught the young generations. Zero respect, thinking they have it so bad in America.
I’m so sorry for your heartbreak Starr, this is a horrendous part of human history. Dr Sowell should be required reading in ALL schools. He is a global treasure.
This video grossly distorts the truth. So no. The truth should be taught in schools. Wile Arab slave traders were transporting hundreds of thousands of slaves, Great britain and other European nations were transporting tens of millions. Focusing on the fact that Britain eventually got round to ending slavery doesn't erase the fact that Britain was the most prolific slave traders in history.
When Britain abolished it's slave trade about half a dozen African kingdoms complained! King Gezo of the Dahomey was on record saying he'd do anything the British asked but give up slavery. Britain signed about 50 anti slaving treatise with West African kingdoms and any that refused to stop got bombarded into stopping. The slave port of Lagos, Nigeria was one such location bombarded to stop slaving in 1851. Lagos renamed it's independence square after a local slave trader. You can see a statue of her there today. When the transatlantic slave trade had largely stopped, they diverted ships to East Africa to stop the Arab slave trade. They stopped patrolling East Africa in the 1970's. Look up the photos from the HMS Sphinx that captured Arab slavers in Oman and the sailors breaking off the chains of the African slaves in 1907?
We the British are exceptionaly proud not that we blow our own trumpet for eventually dragging the whole world out of slavery we have only recently finished paying for this from the World Bank but its one of our greatest accomplishments pity that not everyone recognises this
Your country had received lots of money from slavery. Plus UK felt guilty, that's why they ended it. .slave masters paid taxes to UK. Economic benefits Why did you all take so long to end it? 300 years of slavery, blacks are poor Defendants of slave masters are millionaires
Hi there I am British and one of my family ancestors was in the west African squadron he had to be sent home and was I'll the rest of his life but we are still proud of him and my other family who have went out to risk there lifes for another people who were always then seen as family. I think it is a shame nobody cares about these things anymore and the people who were seen as family are now calling us all sorts of nasty things I pray people see how we are all just different tribes and clans from the same family. Much love and hope and happiness from the wee county in Scotland the UK
Examples of Democrat racism 1857: Democrat Supreme Court Justices ruled that slaves are not citizens and could not expect protection from the federal government. The final tally was 7-2, the only votes in favor of the slave were Republicans, all of the the votes against the slave were Democrats. [8] 1863: Abraham Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation stated that all slaves were now to be free. Lincoln was assassinated 6 days after the Civil War by a Democrat named John Wilkes Booth. 1864-1869: Amendments 13-15; outlawed slavery (Amendment 1), made citizens of people who were born in the US, protected all citizens from unfair treatment by the states (Amendment 2) and protected citizens right to vote regardless of race and color (Amendment 3). All of the votes, House and Senate, including revisions, were split down party lines- Republicans in favor of, Democrats against. 1865: The Black Codes, created by the Democrats, these codes prevented blacks from things like owning businesses, owning property and voting. [9] 1866: The KKK, another Democrat creation, formed as a "military like" presence to combat radical Republicans, enforce black codes and terrorize anyone who opposed their ideology (sound familiar). [10] 1870's-1965: Jim Crow Laws, created by Democrats, basically a continuation of the Black Codes. Included things like segregation and played a part in restricting jobs and education. 1860's-1920's: Lynchings, used by the KKK as a way to strike fear into the hearts and minds of mainly black Americans and others who opposed their ideology. 1871: The Enforcement Act, not one Democrat voted for this bill that would punish violence perpetrated by the KKK. The bill did pass, however President Cleveland (another Democrat) repealed most of the bill roughly 15 years later. [11] [12] 1922: Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill did eventually pass but was filibustered by Democrats. 1938: New Deal FHA housing discrimination laws. 1938: Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt appointment and the Democrat Senate's approval of Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Hugo Black to the Supreme Court. 1941: Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt appointment and the Democrat Senate's approval of segregationist James F. Byrnes to the Supreme Court. 1960: Civil Rights Act, set forth for voter protection had a 78% Democrat disapproval rating determined by vote. [13] [14] 1964: Civil Rights Act, would end discrimination regardless of race, sex and religion, also provided more voter protection. Roughly 33% of Democrats voted against compared to roughly 19% of Republicans who voted against. Democrats also filibustered for 60 days. 1963-1969: Lyndon Johnson, he was quoted as saying "I'll have them n*ggers voting Democrat for 200 years" around the same time that he passed his infamous "Great Society" bills, which consisted of welfare, assisted housing and other programs of that nature. We'll discuss the "Great Society" and it's harm to mainly black Americans but also to poor folks of every color a little later.
@@jryecart8017 Exactly!. By every metric black people were advancing like every other group in America until Lyndon's "Great Society". It paid young men not to work and advance themselves and women to have children out of wedlock so they would become dependent on government handouts. It was only recently I realized that was not an accident. Black urban demoKKKrat controlled arias like Detroit became sh1tholes because that is what the demoKKKrat party wanted.
He doesn't cover in this video how many tribes in Africa sold other tribes into slavery through Arab slavers but that was a big problem. Old tribal rivalries often resulted in one tribe raiding villages and taking people as slaves which were then sold to the Arabs and then sold to slavers for delivery to various ports. Slavery was not just a thing in the United States, it was worldwide and as old as time itself.
Slavery had existed for all of human history until a few courageous people stood up and said NO and then took action to end it. I cannot imagine the horror of being a slave and I salute those brave souls who took action to end this despicable institution.

the men we freed from slavery a lot of them joined the british navy and BRITISH and AFRICAN men were fighting together against the slavery trade i think that was brilliant...i believe if need be we would do it again from the UK. my friend 👍 🙂
Fascinating development, this discovery of history. I grew up in the 60s and 70s in a small northern Michigan town, and I learned some of this in school. Subsequently some casual reading of history, including the Bible, showed me how common slavery has been throughout human history. Good to know history is being rediscovered by young people, and furthermore that the knowledge is used to push back against some current destructive trends and ideologies.
Almost everything ... 😔 ... keeping the population divided and fighting amongst themselves has always only served the nefarious purposes of our leaders ... and if needed, they'll lie like hell to ignite and escalate these conflicts.
Democrats have been solely responsible for defending slavery, starting the Civil War, opposing reconstruction, lynching blacks, founding the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws and segregation, poll taxes and literacy tests. The Party voted against the 13th amendment (end slavery), 14th amendment (black citizenship), and 15th amendment (black right to vote), filibustered the 1960 Civil Rights Act (elimination of poll taxes), and tried to filibuster the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 60 days, the longest filibuster in Senate history. The infamous Dred Scott decision (blacks were property) in 1857 was a Supreme Court vote of 7 Democrat justices for, and 2 Republican justices against. By 1900, more than 20 black Republicans had served in Congress. Democrats did not elect a single black congressman until 1935. And every black senator until 1979 was a Republican. When federal troops withdrew from the South after reconstruction ended, Democrats’ white supremacy laws re-emerged with a vengeance enforced by the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party, the KKK, which was used to suppress blacks from voting Republican. Democrats are also the party of abortion. Planned Parenthood, founded by eugenics racist Margaret Sanger was created to eliminate the “undesirables” and that continues today where there are more abortions in NYC of black babies than are born.
Stories like this anger me. That people would do such awful things to people like this, and then turn around and demand people pay reparations from an entire race for it, despite Europeans being the ones to END slavery... It makes my blood boil. People of all races commited these ateocities, and the people who fought the hardest and risked the most to end it are now being told we're inherently evil for having been a part.
I really don't know why this woman is crying! Slavery is alive & well all over the middle east! You can seen it all in Edgware Road. Folk being let out of cars and then running off!!!
When I was deployed to Afghanistan I was young & arrived with a feeling of hope & heroism, that quickly changed. What disturbed me & still disturbs me to this very day, was witnessing firsthand, how easily humanity is tossed aside & replaced with utter barbarism, debauching depravity & the absolute horrors that human beings are capable of doing to one another. To witness a human being who with savage glee completely destroy another human being...smh
Many years ago a woman told me something I've never forgotten and I question everything that just doesn't make common sense to me. What she told me was: "Trust no man, and walk cautiously among the dead". The history you were taught was taught to you to control you and me and everyone not smart enough to question.
I can proudly say that I had three great-great grandfathers who fought for freedom of the slaves in the American Civil War. God bless the US of America.
But your leaders of the time would not pay for the release of slaves! It was the British Empire of the time who paid every slave owner for the freedom and release of every American slave, not the Americans, and it's the British people who finally paid that debt off in 2015!!! 🇦🇺🦘
This is soul crushing every time i see it. The west was by no means blameless in the slave trade, as was literally no one else in the world... that being said, the west is who singlehandedly brought an end to it, yes, lead by the british, first n foremost, but it did still take ALL of the WEST to do it. NO ONE ELSE IN ANY OTHER PART OF THE WORLD, even thought there was anything wrong with it, let alone, had any interest in ending it... it sickens me how much all those who sacrificed so much to end the horrid practice are the only ones demonized n blamed for all of it in society today. Those brave men deserve to have their memories honored n their stories HONESTLY told, n theyve been robbed of it thanks to the mental illness that is the progressive left, also in the western hemisphere. N whats worst, is their incidious n intentional reason for doing it!!!! But im so glad n hopeful that more n more people are waking up to this every day!

Slaves were taken from many countries under different guises not just Africa. White slaves were taken from both England and Ireland as well. The rich and powerful will always seek to enrich themselves at the expense of others irrespective of one's skin colour.

The Americans fought against slavery at the same time slavery existed in the US. PS: Also the Emancipation Proculation only refered to slaves in the South. Other slaves such as those held by indiginous people in the US were not freed at that time.
People don't want to learn " the truth" they only want to hear " their truth" and that blinds them without them ever knowing. Its a way to box them in and control. The ones that legislate systematic racism cannot be the ones you look towards to stop it or learn the truth about it.
I am so proud to be British. When I see our flag now it stands for freedom, liberty and an end to cruelty. 🇬🇧❤️ Our sailor's soldiers and politicians who made this all happen and lost there lives fighting against this evil filth should be celebrated with a special day in commonwealth and UK.
Yes,, but then It shows how our people have regressed fromm their former glory.Becaause why do our people keep voting for the Tory party, the party of landowwning aristocrats, who have only ever destroyed things in ouur culture. Check your history - the Tory party was marginalised by thhe electorate and out of Power for the entire history of anything the Brits aree proud of E.g. afteer the English Bill of Rights (1689) and during the development of modern parliamentarry structure (1707-1750)and the rise to global cultural dominance, through tthe inventiveness of tthe Industrial Revolution 1750-1800, where there Free-market Capitalist Principles were develloped, enabling even more inventiveness to pervade after 1800 *The Tory party has successfullyPositioned iitself as the pro--business party, wheen in ffact it hhas alwaays ccampaignned and stoood for the opposite. Before Thatcher succcessfullly frauudulenttly rebranded it, it was always known as the anti-progreessiive, stattus quo and austerity party, seeking to hold calcculated risk-ttaking back and keeping power with royalty and the aristocrats and landowners had always had it.The Whig paarty achieveed everytthing tthat thhis country and they were the middle to uupper miiddle emerrging class of entrepreneurs, merchants, religious puritans and Skilled industrialists
17000 UK British sailors died & most were teenagers - Most mums were not able to Bury thier sons as it wud take months to return the bodies. Those bodies were buried in Africa & the cemeteries were lovingly tended by the freed slaves. Its sad that this story was suppressed by politicians. Most Arab slavers were mad from opiate addiction & a doctrine which despised non-muslims. They also did similar tortures to Indian Sikh & Hindu slaves where about 70 million Indians were killed or enslaved.
I did not know that about Sikh and Hindus being taken as slaves. Now that you mention this fact it should be obvious but it is not widely publicised. Human history is very dark and we can only be thankful that we are alive now. Hopefully as a race we continue to improve and treat each other better.
@@LG-jn5fx - Nothing has changed the Muslims. They still believe the same doctrine. Why do you think the Chinese are doing what they are to them?! The Chinese aren't going to let them take over their nation. World conquest is still the goal of Islam, and so it is with the communist Chinese. And they both think everyone else but themselves, are 'inferior', and worthy only of death, or servitude ! Wonder which will win in the end..... hmmm...
11:35 - Dr. Livingstone had nightmares about what he witnessed, because he was a civilized human being. The Arab slavers just laughed at him. It's not very different today, tbh. (I hope that's not too islamophobic, it would just break my heart if it were.)
Human beings are capable of incredible cruelty. European, Asian, African, Australian, South American, North American........ It's universal. No single race has been a perpetrator No single race has been a victim We can only fight it together.
You seem like a lovely lady and youre right it's diplorable but unfortunately the human capacity for violence and greed has cast a dark shadow throughout all of history. It is upsetting but good for you for finding out about this often unspoken history.
Democrat Woodrow Wilson re-segregated many federal agencies and screened the racist film Birth of a Nation at the White House. Democrat FDR refused to invite four-time gold medalist Jessie Owen (a staunch Republican) to the White House (only invited white athletes) and interned 120,000 Japanese Americans. Eisenhower re-integrated the military and forced the integration of schools in Little Rock against the wishes of Democrat governor Orval Faubus. The racist Democrat LBJ started the welfare state and said “I’ll have those n#@!rs voting Democrat for the next 200 years,” highlighting the fact that Democrats care about black votes but not blacks. The welfare state has decimated the black family with 77 percent of children growing up fatherless. JFK first mentioned Affirmative Action in 1961 but it was Nixon who passed it in 1971.
the beauty of that is you are free to move or stay. might not be worth your time to fight but if it is, do what you can and keep your attitude and spirit right.
I suppose that's because it's impossible to blame whites, as it is still practiced in primarily non-white countries. If TPTB truly cared, they'd start a campaign to end slavery worldwide
This is a good example about how philosophy changes the world. Abolishing slavery came out of The Enlighenment and the movement for individual rights. This included intellectually all humans in the world. There is a lot to read about the historical conditions and atmosphere that made philosophy turn this way.
after about only 250 years of Britain been involved in slavery. without a single slave in Britain for people to even see. Britain decided that not only was it going to have nothing more to do with it, not only was it going to buy the freedom of every slave in any British colonies so they did not have to suffer the horror any more. but it sent its children around the world to risk their life to put an end to the horror of slavery for everyone for ever. but we are always called the bad guy.
Yes that's true but we have to thank for the example and we all follow d from Britain. The setting an example and all the other nurses wearing courage by Britain to follow them 🇬🇧
Us brits know all about being slaves first the romans , then the vikings, so thats why we fought to stop it cause we knew what it was like to suffer like that

That comment reflects on you more than anything. The percentage of enslavement globally is minuscule compared to what it was due to the Western nations bankrupting the industry and forcing reckonings and legal precedentss within each coountry globally over time. Why not think about what a wondeerful thing it was that such a movement was able to take place galvanising of suppport to you, followed by several nations eventually and for over a century. Then think about how it was achieved and how you can help to affectt moodern slaveery, by adding to this, rather than trashing something that, if it didn't happen, slavery wouuld be everywhere Still, now, and you would see it everywhere and maybee one yyourself
Never wondered, why there is no black communities in arabia, when the african slave trade lasted there a thousand years longer than the european slave trade on the west coast of africa? The answer is particularly gruesome: castration. Arabs castrated slaves brought from Africa.
Portugal abolished slavery in 1761(before england) but failed to abolish in its colonies since both african kings/tribes that were selling slaves were also gaining profit but so the ones doing the trades, thenMarques de Pombal actually seeked help of the british wich had similiar intentions.
@@windyfarmer.6095No, get the date exactly right, otherwise people won't be able to trace it , As a fact. Slave Was Outlawed In England in 1068, when it was written in "The Domesday book." Anyone caught was Given a Large fine. And if they could not pay, imprisonment. Conseqently, by the 12 Century there were no SlavesIn England for the rest of time
Brazil was the last country in the Americas to outlaw slavery, banning the practice in 1888. In fact, after the US Civil War, an estimated 50,000 Confederates emigrated to Brazil, where they could continue their practice of slavery.
Saudi Arabia didn't ban slavery until the 196o's, and even then currently existing slaves were not freed. Slavery was normal and accepted in every civilization around the world from the time of the first civilizations, for thousands of years right up until christian Europeans declared it as evil and stopped it, even killing hundreds of thousands of their own people to do it.
The profound and most lasting effect of Colonialism is the Abolition of slavery in the western world and a world where less people are property the world over than ever before. Other smaller social norms we take for granted like modern legal structure, the widespread introduction of public education systems, democratic government structures and equal rights ideologies are all rooted in the power and influence of the Colonial Systems that seeded them in so many other cultures.
You break my heart 😢 Learn by all means but please, please don't damage yourself emotionally. Cherish yourself and those around you cherish you and keep you safe ❤
The British literally were leading the slave trade from the early to mid 1600s to 1800s. Many companies like the East India company were owned or had high level aristocrats including the king, and family members as investers or owners. The numerous company's shipped slaves and sold slaves in Indonesia, India, the Americas, and Caribbean. They brought over 2 million slaves to the Americas and the Caribbean and sold them an estimated 1 million did not survive the trip. It wasn't until the 1807 Slave Act that outlawed the slave trade in the Caribbean and Americas, in 1833 they finally Abolished slavery in British colonies around the Empire until that time Britian amassed major wealth from the slave trade. To this day the American Civil war still leads and surpasses the military death toll of all US wars combined including both world wars. Slavery is still practiticed today. There are an estimated 21 million to 45 million people trapped in some form of slavery today. It's sometimes called “Modern-Day Slavery” and sometimes “Human Trafficking."
Starr, read "Lies My History Teacher Taught Me" about the American history curriculum. I reviewed a US History book a few years back. Fairy Tales and whitewash.

Important book on Islamic slaveery - "The Doctrine of Slavery" by Bill Warner. Slavery still is a major doctirine because it is promoted by the Koran and other critically significant source texts of Islam.
'No nation has done more to end global slavery than the British'...'When Britain held the reigns of world power that is what she did with it'.....If you paid taxes in Britain before 2015 then you paid for the abolition of slavery.
It's not the hidden truth, the truth has always been there for anyone willing to seek it out. It's not about truth, it's about people blindly believing everything they are told.

Ah yes the Bible ( also known as the goat herders guide to the universe ), the Bible shall we say is unfortunately less than reliable when it comes to truth or fact. I tried to seek out truth in the Bible only to find there wasn't much to be found. I would have to be willfully ignorant of reality in order to believe the Bibles so called truth. The religious also blindly believe what they are told. They don't question it because they don't want to know any truth that doesn't jive with what they want to believe.
@@kosys5338 That book which just happens to have accurately predicted many events thousands of years before they occurred. That book also just happens to be the only ancient text to get the creation account accurate scientifically, down to the conditions of the earth. How ironic you say no one questions it, yet the Bible clearly says to test everything and only hold to that which proves true. Clearly you don't know much about this "book" you disdain so much.
@@prezken4937
I don't just find the Bible to be less than factual by the way I also find it to be immoral.
The British too was taken as slaves from the coast of Cornwall England by Arab sailors, and then sold into slavery, the famous song was written about it, that’s where the song lyrics rule Britannia Britannia rules the waves we will never never never ever be slaves, then Britain was put on a quest to stop slavery around the world
FGS WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THAT BS FROM ?? FIRSTLY IT WAS BARBARY SLAVERY NOT ARABS AND RULE BRITANNIA WAS WRITTEN AS A POEM IT WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SLAVERY BUT POWER IN THE SEA AGAINST FRANCE.
The Vikings took slaves from Britain also and Ireland.
@@aramisone7198 so did the Romans
Every nation in the world all share the guilt of slavery. No use going on about it end human trafficking now then slavery will end, it's now that's important not the past.
And even further back the Roman took a lot of Britons back to Italy as slaves
Despite this, Britain is the only country that people demand be held repsonsible for having an empire.
If our children were correctly educated, they will grow up to understand.
That is the truth.
Britain was the country that stopped it, but these people are after money.
China and South Korea demand responsibility from Japan every year, for the deeds of the Empire of Japan. But yeah, nobody demands anything from Russia because everybody knows it'd be useless and Russia's victim game is second to none. Belgium has recently got flak for Leopold II's personal empire. No idea why the Netherlands isn't getting blamed more. Perhaps Portugal and Spain were spared because after the collapse of their empires, those newly independent countries themselves didn't always manage to get their act together all that well. France has managed to slither away from quite a lot, but not entirely. The USA has a whole lot of frothing enemies out there, so you shouldn't be envious of them.
The British did not need slaves from Africa for cheap work - they had British India, which they exploited in every way and with the rudest manners.
God Bless Thomas Sowell. He's the smartest man alice, I think.
I honestly believe that Thomas Sowell's research should be taught in every school. His research and opinions are legit. We would all be better off learning from our true past.
Read his book, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals."
Never going to happen... It would break the back of the Democrat Party..As they just refuse to give up them slaves..
Democrats refuse it
@@bostonblackie9503 I bought that and sent it to a friend of mine who has been in prison for over 25 years (more than half his life)... for armed robbery. He's black and his favorite shows are Gunsmoke, Yellowstone and Andy Griffith.
I agreed about this information should be included as standard in USA education but I do have reservations about Thomas Sowell and is ultra conservative views.
It’s good of you to share this. Dr. Sowell, an economist by profession, is the finest and most honest historian alive.
Don't get your economic advice from Sowell. He is a proponent of the debunked Trickle Down Theory that has exploded the National debt.
One of the finest minds in the Western Hemisphere.
Like someone replied to: There should be a course of Dr. Sowell and his writings: Not a bad idea.
The truth is that while the Arab slave trade was transporting hundreds of thousands of slaves, Great Britain was transporting MILLIONS of slaves - before we eventually got round to abolishing slavery. Dr. Sowell is white washing slavery by pushing all the blame onto Arabic nations to deflect from the much greater guilt of the UK and the US and other European nations.
It was actually never hidden...it was in the history books.
Britain just finished paying off the debt expense associated with this liberation, in 2016 I believe...
Democrats that enslaved black people should be forced to pay reparations to ALL of America. The GOP gave BLOOD to free black people, we are paid in full.
Britain bought off slaves.
USA fought bloody war.
UK bought of guns.
Hope its not a pattern
The "debt" was payed to former slave owners for losing business and not the victims.
@@sunrae3971 Being handed freedom at the expense of other peoples blood was the debt being repaid. White men freed black people from Democrats chains.
@@sunrae3971 yeah that's because freedom was the payment slaves got.
Every culture, race, and creed of people were at one point a slave to another. In fact the word "slave" originates from the word "Slavic", when Slavs were traded as slaves in Spain and North Africa by Muslims. The fact that its ingrained into human history is undeniable. Its time to take the lessons that history has shown us and move forward. Slavery still exists today in the form of 'Human Trafficking'. Lets focus on stopping that and not what happened in the past.
the southern border leaps to mind. maybe we can change the future.
@@johoney5458 New FAIR Cost Study: Illegal Immigration Now Costs American Taxpayers At Least $151 Billion a Year - - - WASHINGTON, March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) finds that, as of 2022, American taxpayers shell out at least $151 billion each year to cover the cost of illegal immigration. Broken down, the data reveals that taxpayers pay $182 billion annually to provide services and benefits to illegal aliens and their dependents. These costs are offset by about $31 billion in taxes that are collected from the estimated 15.5 million illegal aliens living in the United States, bringing the net cost to $150.7 billion annually.
The 2022 costs represent a 30 percent increase to taxpayers in just five years. A former version of this study, conducted in 2017 by FAIR, placed the annual net cost of illegal immigration at $116 billion. Most of the additional costs have been added in the past two years, as the Biden administration's de facto open borders policies have triggered a historic surge of new illegal migrants pouring across our borders. Moreover, the updated price tag of $151 billion is a conservative estimate as there are additional costs incurred from illegal immigration, but there is currently insufficient data to provide reliable cost estimates.
FAIR's comprehensive analysis looks at available federal, state, and local programs and services that are directly accessible to illegal aliens, or indirectly, through their U.S.-born children who qualify for all means-tested programs. In addition to the surge of illegal immigration since 2021, state and local governments have offered a variety of new benefits and services to illegal aliens, which have exacerbated the situation for struggling taxpayers.
Among the key findings in FAIR's report, The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers:
The gross annual cost of illegal immigration (the total amount before taxes paid by illegal aliens are factored in) is now $182 billion, annually.
Taxes paid by illegal aliens only cover around 17.2 percent of the costs they create for American citizens, bringing the net cost to $150.7 billion a year.
The largest component of the cost is K-12 education, which must be provided under a 1982 Supreme Court ruling. The annual K-12 education cost for illegal aliens (and their U.S.-born children) is $78 billion, of which $70.4 billion is borne by states and localities.
Health care for illegal aliens costs taxpayers about $42.7 billion annually.
A variety of food assistance and nutritional programs used by illegal aliens and their children cost taxpayers about $13.5 billion annually.
Combined federal, state, and local criminal justice costs associated with illegal immigration run about $47 billion annually - not including the cost of damages to victims.
it also exists in the form of economic slavery. Unnecessarily high taxes, then using that as an excuse for welfare. Both those things need to go. It is one more attempt at forcing socialism which will never work.
Slavery predates muslims, and slavs.
That's an out right lie, name at least one other group.
The reason for reflection in the past is because of a large proportion of people are under the impression that the British were the instigators and were responsible for the slave trade. I hope these people are enlightened about the truth of the matter and acknowledge it.
Those also believe slavery started in America. Too many generations believe absolutely false info they were taught in our Democratic run public schools. I've come across some that believe we started ww2, and that we had no reason to bomb Japan. It truly is pathetic what they have taught the young generations. Zero respect, thinking they have it so bad in America.
UK benefitted tremendously from slave masters taxes and donations to schools and charities
I’m so sorry for your heartbreak Starr, this is a horrendous part of human history. Dr Sowell should be required reading in ALL schools. He is a global treasure.
This video grossly distorts the truth. So no. The truth should be taught in schools. Wile Arab slave traders were transporting hundreds of thousands of slaves, Great britain and other European nations were transporting tens of millions. Focusing on the fact that Britain eventually got round to ending slavery doesn't erase the fact that Britain was the most prolific slave traders in history.
When Britain abolished it's slave trade about half a dozen African kingdoms complained! King Gezo of the Dahomey was on record saying he'd do anything the British asked but give up slavery.
Britain signed about 50 anti slaving treatise with West African kingdoms and any that refused to stop got bombarded into stopping. The slave port of Lagos, Nigeria was one such location bombarded to stop slaving in 1851. Lagos renamed it's independence square after a local slave trader. You can see a statue of her there today.
When the transatlantic slave trade had largely stopped, they diverted ships to East Africa to stop the Arab slave trade. They stopped patrolling East Africa in the 1970's.
Look up the photos from the HMS Sphinx that captured Arab slavers in Oman and the sailors breaking off the chains of the African slaves in 1907?
God bless DoctorThomas Sowell for his life's work.
We the British are exceptionaly proud not that we blow our own trumpet for eventually dragging the whole world out of slavery we have only recently finished paying for this from the World Bank but its one of our greatest accomplishments pity that not everyone recognises this
Your country had received lots of money from slavery. Plus UK felt guilty, that's why they ended it.
.slave masters paid taxes to UK. Economic benefits
Why did you all take so long to end it?
300 years of slavery, blacks are poor
Defendants of slave masters are millionaires
Hi there I am British and one of my family ancestors was in the west African squadron he had to be sent home and was I'll the rest of his life but we are still proud of him and my other family who have went out to risk there lifes for another people who were always then seen as family. I think it is a shame nobody cares about these things anymore and the people who were seen as family are now calling us all sorts of nasty things I pray people see how we are all just different tribes and clans from the same family. Much love and hope and happiness from the wee county in Scotland the UK
the truth must be taught not ignored.
Examples of Democrat racism
1857: Democrat Supreme Court Justices ruled that slaves are not citizens and could not expect protection from the federal government. The final tally was 7-2, the only votes in favor of the slave were Republicans, all of the the votes against the slave were Democrats. [8]
1863: Abraham Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation stated that all slaves were now to be free. Lincoln was assassinated 6 days after the Civil War by a Democrat named John Wilkes Booth.
1864-1869: Amendments 13-15; outlawed slavery (Amendment 1), made citizens of people who were born in the US, protected all citizens from unfair treatment by the states (Amendment 2) and protected citizens right to vote regardless of race and color (Amendment 3). All of the votes, House and Senate, including revisions, were split down party lines- Republicans in favor of, Democrats against.
1865: The Black Codes, created by the Democrats, these codes prevented blacks from things like owning businesses, owning property and voting. [9]
1866: The KKK, another Democrat creation, formed as a "military like" presence to combat radical Republicans, enforce black codes and terrorize anyone who opposed their ideology (sound familiar). [10]
1870's-1965: Jim Crow Laws, created by Democrats, basically a continuation of the Black Codes. Included things like segregation and played a part in restricting jobs and education.
1860's-1920's: Lynchings, used by the KKK as a way to strike fear into the hearts and minds of mainly black Americans and others who opposed their ideology.
1871: The Enforcement Act, not one Democrat voted for this bill that would punish violence perpetrated by the KKK. The bill did pass, however President Cleveland (another Democrat) repealed most of the bill roughly 15 years later. [11] [12]
1922: Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill did eventually pass but was filibustered by Democrats.
1938: New Deal FHA housing discrimination laws.
1938: Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt appointment and the Democrat Senate's approval of Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Hugo Black to the Supreme Court.
1941: Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt appointment and the Democrat Senate's approval of segregationist James F. Byrnes to the Supreme Court.
1960: Civil Rights Act, set forth for voter protection had a 78% Democrat disapproval rating determined by vote. [13] [14]
1964: Civil Rights Act, would end discrimination regardless of race, sex and religion, also provided more voter protection. Roughly 33% of Democrats voted against compared to roughly 19% of Republicans who voted against. Democrats also filibustered for 60 days.
1963-1969: Lyndon Johnson, he was quoted as saying "I'll have them n*ggers voting Democrat for 200 years" around the same time that he passed his infamous "Great Society" bills, which consisted of welfare, assisted housing and other programs of that nature. We'll discuss the "Great Society" and it's harm to mainly black Americans but also to poor folks of every color a little later.
@@jryecart8017 Exactly!. By every metric black people were advancing like every other group in America until Lyndon's "Great Society". It paid young men not to work and advance themselves and women to have children out of wedlock so they would become dependent on government handouts. It was only recently I realized that was not an accident. Black urban demoKKKrat controlled arias like Detroit became sh1tholes because that is what the demoKKKrat party wanted.
He doesn't cover in this video how many tribes in Africa sold other tribes into slavery through Arab slavers but that was a big problem. Old tribal rivalries often resulted in one tribe raiding villages and taking people as slaves which were then sold to the Arabs and then sold to slavers for delivery to various ports. Slavery was not just a thing in the United States, it was worldwide and as old as time itself.
I believe it is brought up in other videos of his and others
Slavery had existed for all of human history until a few courageous people stood up and said NO and then took action to end it. I cannot imagine the horror of being a slave and I salute those brave souls who took action to end this despicable institution.
it still exists today
@@irelandspacifist6156 It will never end. Even in the future if we manage as a species to get off this rock, we will either enslave alien's species or they will enslave us.

Fascinating development, this discovery of history. I grew up in the 60s and 70s in a small northern Michigan town, and I learned some of this in school. Subsequently some casual reading of history, including the Bible, showed me how common slavery has been throughout human history. Good to know history is being rediscovered by young people, and furthermore that the knowledge is used to push back against some current destructive trends and ideologies.
Can we all just go back to seeing people as people and colours as things that brighten our lives

That’s why Christ says love one another and as you see truth sets you free.
Democrats have been solely responsible for defending slavery, starting the Civil War, opposing reconstruction, lynching blacks, founding the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws and segregation, poll taxes and literacy tests. The Party voted against the 13th amendment (end slavery), 14th amendment (black citizenship), and 15th amendment (black right to vote), filibustered the 1960 Civil Rights Act (elimination of poll taxes), and tried to filibuster the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 60 days, the longest filibuster in Senate history. The infamous Dred Scott decision (blacks were property) in 1857 was a Supreme Court vote of 7 Democrat justices for, and 2 Republican justices against. By 1900, more than 20 black Republicans had served in Congress. Democrats did not elect a single black congressman until 1935. And every black senator until 1979 was a Republican. When federal troops withdrew from the South after reconstruction ended, Democrats’ white supremacy laws re-emerged with a vengeance enforced by the paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party, the KKK, which was used to suppress blacks from voting Republican.
Democrats are also the party of abortion. Planned Parenthood, founded by eugenics racist Margaret Sanger was created to eliminate the “undesirables” and that continues today where there are more abortions in NYC of black babies than are born.

Many years ago a woman told me something I've never forgotten and I question everything that just doesn't make common sense to me. What she told me was: "Trust no man, and walk cautiously among the dead". The history you were taught was taught to you to control you and me and everyone not smart enough to question.
Thank you so much for this video. This history must never be forgotten.
I can proudly say that I had three great-great grandfathers who fought for freedom of the slaves in the American Civil War. God bless the US of America.
God bless them men who helped kill over 600000 of your own countrymen..... LOL!!🤦♂
Yeah, none of them fought for slaves. They fought for Lincoln’s tyrannical power grab.
But your leaders of the time would not pay for the release of slaves! It was the British Empire of the time who paid every slave owner for the freedom and release of every American slave, not the Americans, and it's the British people who finally paid that debt off in 2015!!! 🇦🇺🦘

Kudos to you for educating in this hard topic !!
This is soul crushing every time i see it. The west was by no means blameless in the slave trade, as was literally no one else in the world... that being said, the west is who singlehandedly brought an end to it, yes, lead by the british, first n foremost, but it did still take ALL of the WEST to do it. NO ONE ELSE IN ANY OTHER PART OF THE WORLD, even thought there was anything wrong with it, let alone, had any interest in ending it... it sickens me how much all those who sacrificed so much to end the horrid practice are the only ones demonized n blamed for all of it in society today. Those brave men deserve to have their memories honored n their stories HONESTLY told, n theyve been robbed of it thanks to the mental illness that is the progressive left, also in the western hemisphere. N whats worst, is their incidious n intentional reason for doing it!!!! But im so glad n hopeful that more n more people are waking up to this every day!
Tha fact that those men are not being venerated says a lot about who rules the world today.

sadder than any of this is the fact that slavery is still happening in the world right now... no one talks much about that.

Its not to late to embrace the truth to move forward
The Americans fought against slavery at the same time slavery existed in the US. PS: Also the Emancipation Proculation only refered to slaves in the South. Other slaves such as those held by indiginous people in the US were not freed at that time.
No one was until the 13th amendment was ratified.
People don't want to learn " the truth" they only want to hear " their truth" and that blinds them without them ever knowing. Its a way to box them in and control. The ones that legislate systematic racism cannot be the ones you look towards to stop it or learn the truth about it.

Our sailor's soldiers and politicians who made this all happen and lost there lives fighting against this evil filth should be celebrated with a special day in commonwealth and UK.
Yes,, but then It shows how our people have regressed fromm their former glory.Becaause why do our people keep voting for the Tory party, the party of landowwning aristocrats, who have only ever destroyed things in ouur culture. Check your history - the Tory party was marginalised by thhe electorate and out of Power for the entire history of anything the Brits aree proud of E.g. afteer the English Bill of Rights (1689) and during the development of modern parliamentarry structure (1707-1750)and the rise to global cultural dominance, through tthe inventiveness of tthe Industrial Revolution 1750-1800, where there Free-market Capitalist Principles were develloped, enabling even more inventiveness to pervade after 1800
*The Tory party has successfullyPositioned iitself as the pro--business party, wheen in ffact it hhas alwaays ccampaignned and stoood for the opposite. Before Thatcher succcessfullly frauudulenttly rebranded it, it was always known as the anti-progreessiive, stattus quo and austerity party, seeking to hold calcculated risk-ttaking back and keeping power with royalty and the aristocrats and landowners had always had it.The Whig paarty achieveed everytthing tthat thhis country and they were the middle to uupper miiddle emerrging class of entrepreneurs, merchants, religious puritans and Skilled industrialists
17000 UK British sailors died & most were teenagers - Most mums were not able to Bury thier sons as it wud take months to return the bodies. Those bodies were buried in Africa & the cemeteries were lovingly tended by the freed slaves. Its sad that this story was suppressed by politicians. Most Arab slavers were mad from opiate addiction & a doctrine which despised non-muslims. They also did similar tortures to Indian Sikh & Hindu slaves where about 70 million Indians were killed or enslaved.
According to the most respected historian Dalrymple
I did not know that about Sikh and Hindus being taken as slaves. Now that you mention this fact it should be obvious but it is not widely publicised.
Human history is very dark and we can only be thankful that we are alive now. Hopefully as a race we continue to improve and treat each other better.

Greed is one of the greatest evil and results in human misery
Democrat Woodrow Wilson re-segregated many federal agencies and screened the racist film Birth of a Nation at the White House. Democrat FDR refused to invite four-time gold medalist Jessie Owen (a staunch Republican) to the White House (only invited white athletes) and interned 120,000 Japanese Americans. Eisenhower re-integrated the military and forced the integration of schools in Little Rock against the wishes of Democrat governor Orval Faubus. The racist Democrat LBJ started the welfare state and said “I’ll have those n#@!rs voting Democrat for the next 200 years,” highlighting the fact that Democrats care about black votes but not blacks. The welfare state has decimated the black family with 77 percent of children growing up fatherless. JFK first mentioned Affirmative Action in 1961 but it was Nixon who passed it in 1971.

Slavery has never ended. It still goes on everywhere. But we turn a blind eye these days. Wonder why.
I suppose that's because it's impossible to blame whites, as it is still practiced in primarily non-white countries. If TPTB truly cared, they'd start a campaign to end slavery worldwide

This is a good example about how philosophy changes the world. Abolishing slavery came out of The Enlighenment and the movement for individual rights. This included intellectually all humans in the world. There is a lot to read about the historical conditions and atmosphere that made philosophy turn this way.
The truly SAD thing not mentioned in this vedio is that the people who enslaved Africians and sold them to Arabs and Europeans where BLACK AFRICIANS!
It’s sad, but it happened a couple hundred years ago crying about it now as I’m gonna do any good
after about only 250 years of Britain been involved in slavery. without a single slave in Britain for people to even see. Britain decided that not only was it going to have nothing more to do with it, not only was it going to buy the freedom of every slave in any British colonies so they did not have to suffer the horror any more. but it sent its children around the world to risk their life to put an end to the horror of slavery for everyone for ever. but we are always called the bad guy.

So much emotion for something that happened 150 years ago. Yet not even a thought about modern day slavery. Shhhhhh not supposed to mention that.
That comment reflects on you more than anything. The percentage of enslavement globally is minuscule compared to what it was due to the Western nations bankrupting the industry and forcing reckonings and legal precedentss within each coountry globally over time.
Why not think about what a wondeerful thing it was that such a movement was able to take place galvanising of suppport to you, followed by several nations eventually and for over a century. Then think about how it was achieved and how you can help to affectt moodern slaveery, by adding to this, rather than trashing something that, if it didn't happen, slavery wouuld be everywhere Still, now, and you would see it everywhere and maybee one yyourself
The British ended slavery and get called racists with white privilege. People need to shout less and listen more.
Nothing hidden young Starr, it is very well documented dear.
One has to look at the root cause where african tribes sold african slaves
Never wondered, why there is no black communities in arabia, when the african slave trade lasted there a thousand years longer than the european slave trade on the west coast of africa?
The answer is particularly gruesome: castration. Arabs castrated slaves brought from Africa.
Im so sorry this upset you but you must remember truth is truth as uncomfortable to learn as it is. Peace and love.
Portugal abolished slavery in 1761(before england) but failed to abolish in its colonies since both african kings/tribes that were selling slaves were also gaining profit but so the ones doing the trades, thenMarques de Pombal actually seeked help of the british wich had similiar intentions.
It has been illegal to have slaves on the British mainland since 1100AD
Slavery was illegal in England from 1066, william the conquerer made it so.
@@windyfarmer.6095No, get the date exactly right, otherwise people won't be able to trace it , As a fact. Slave Was Outlawed In England in 1068, when it was written in "The Domesday book." Anyone caught was Given a Large fine. And if they could not pay, imprisonment. Conseqently, by the 12 Century there were no SlavesIn England for the rest of time
You are a very Intelligent woman.
Brazil was the last country in the Americas to outlaw slavery, banning the practice in 1888. In fact, after the US Civil War, an estimated 50,000 Confederates emigrated to Brazil, where they could continue their practice of slavery.
It should not surprise me to learn this history when we still have people being as cruel and greedy today.
Saudi Arabia didn't ban slavery until the 196o's, and even then currently existing slaves were not freed. Slavery was normal and accepted in every civilization around the world from the time of the first civilizations, for thousands of years right up until christian Europeans declared it as evil and stopped it, even killing hundreds of thousands of their own people to do it.
The profound and most lasting effect of Colonialism is the Abolition of slavery in the western world and a world where less people are property the world over than ever before. Other smaller social norms we take for granted like modern legal structure, the widespread introduction of public education systems, democratic government structures and equal rights ideologies are all rooted in the power and influence of the Colonial Systems that seeded them in so many other cultures.

You break my heart 😢
Learn by all means but please, please don't damage yourself emotionally.
Cherish yourself and those around you cherish you and keep you safe ❤
The British literally were leading the slave trade from the early to mid 1600s to 1800s. Many companies like the East India company were owned or had high level aristocrats including the king, and family members as investers or owners. The numerous company's shipped slaves and sold slaves in Indonesia, India, the Americas, and Caribbean. They brought over 2 million slaves to the Americas and the Caribbean and sold them an estimated 1 million did not survive the trip. It wasn't until the 1807 Slave Act that outlawed the slave trade in the Caribbean and Americas, in 1833 they finally Abolished slavery in British colonies around the Empire until that time Britian amassed major wealth from the slave trade. To this day the American Civil war still leads and surpasses the military death toll of all US wars combined including both world wars. Slavery is still practiticed today. There are an estimated 21 million to 45 million people trapped in some form of slavery today. It's sometimes called “Modern-Day Slavery” and sometimes “Human Trafficking."
Thomas just proved you Wrong.Portuguese were much worse and so Were Arabs. the numbers Show this
Slavery was universal amongst all humans. And must have either been either invented in parallel or invented before the ancient humans had left Africa.
Facts are stubborn things
Starr, read "Lies My History Teacher Taught Me" about the American history curriculum. I reviewed a US History book a few years back. Fairy Tales and whitewash.
Humans can be evil and have no thought to value of another, but thank God many more humans are not and stop evil. Devaluing each other is damaging we all choose what path we walk value each other ❤❤❤
As long as Hollywood doesn`t make a movie about these events, almost no one is going to know what happened.
Important book on Islamic slaveery - "The Doctrine of Slavery" by Bill Warner. Slavery still is a major doctirine because it is promoted by the Koran and other critically significant source texts of Islam.
'No nation has done more to end global slavery than the British'...'When Britain held the reigns of world power that is what she did with it'.....If you paid taxes in Britain before 2015 then you paid for the abolition of slavery.
freed slaves served on hms victory
Reality, is that stubborn thing that we bump up against when our beliefs turn out to be false.
