TRUTH about the White Slave Trade - Forgotten History
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2022
- The Barbary pirates of North Africa attacked the coastal northern Mediterranean launching attacks against Britain, France, Italy and Sicily. In their feverish search for slaves a few pirates even went as far as the coast of Iceland, raiding inland to kidnap people and bring them back to North Africa.
From the 1500s to the 1800s it is estimated that one million white Europeans, to include those captured at sea as well as through land raids abroad were enslaved. Many of these were Americans captured at sea. Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. The Forgotten History Channel is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

I am a black man and I have always resented the idea that whenever people think of slaves they only think of black people.
As you correctly pointed out, slavery was a thing that impacted virtually everyone in the world of all races.
I am a proud American who loves this country and the men and women of all races who founded it.
Slavery did not start with white people in America and America has done more than enough to end the problem of slavery around the world.
You sir are perhaps the most enlightened voice on this channel, and we appreciate it.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL I agree, gmajor is very astute on this subject. Smarter than most.
It escalated from logical conclusion to bootlicking really quickly
The problem there is how slavery was practiced. Pre American slavery was quite different. Mainly slaves were considered humans who were enslaved. In America, all of America not just the US, slaves were property. Pre American the children of slaves were born free. Non America slaves also were allowed to be educated, many slaves rose to positions of power. Genghis Khan had many administrator who were slaves. The general of Peter the Great's armies was a slave. One of the 4 champion of Muhammad was a slave. Moreover, the Romans also used slaves for administration. Slaves were allowed to buy their freedom. Additionally, slaves had basic rights. Owners were not allowed to kill slaves without a writ. Yes there were abuses and most slaves were used for labor. America changed that. In Virginia in the 1600s the doctrine of partus sequitur ventrem was inserted into the laws of slavery, ruling that the children born in the colonies took the place or status of their mothers; therefore, children of enslaved mothers were born into slavery as chattel. So all bullshit aside white slavery (though honestly I should say pre American, as all races were slaves) had it privileges. Pre-America a owner could have a slave of his own race. In America, you had to be Native or black. So there is no history of white slavery, there is a history of slavery, then a history of American slavery.
Gary Major Sorry, your ignorance of slavery is profound. Pre American slavery was non racist. White people had white slaves. Black people had white slaves. Slavery was not based on race. Slavery was based on circumstances. Most slaves were prisoners of war or pirate raids. America did not volunteer to end slavery, it took a war to end it legally. Then we continued it with sharecropping and Jim Crow. Slavery with slaves as property started in white America. American made a law saying children of slaves were slaves. America also made it racist and took away all slave rights. I like America, I served 9 years in the military and am a 100 percent disabled veteran. (I don't say love because I do not believe in nationalism, it leads to a closed mind) but do not white wash our history. Do remember the South withdrew to protect slavery. But the North did not originally fight to end slavery. The North fought to preserve the Union.
It wasn't forgotten, it has been deliberately suppressed
Pretty much
Agreed, as it does not fit the liberal narrative of exclusive victimhood.
True.
I was taught this in at least two different history classes. Maybe suppressed in southern states that don't put much emphasis on education. Have a nice day.
I learned about it in Middle School history class
White slavery lasted in America even after slavery was banned. They just called it indentured servants. Millions of Slavic people, Mediterranean, and Irish were brought to America to counter the slave ban and it actually lasted into the 20th century. How do I know that? My polish great grandparents met on a plantation when they were servants. This was only 2 generations removed from myself. That’s how lucky we are to live in this time.
This is true. Records show my ancestor had two male indentured servants on his farm at any one time. They were young white guys and usually remained on the farm for 10 to 15 years before he got new ones.
But, they want to start it up again.

Where did we get "slav" from?
Back in the late 1950’s when I, a Sephardic Jew, was living in my homeland Morocco, you could go to the souk (market) and buy slaves (whites). My wonderfully kind grandfather would buy as many as he could and then set them free. They would then come back to him and ask to work for him. He would invite some to live with him to help out in the house and he would even pay for their expenses such as childbirths, marriages, etc. Really glad you brought this forgotten topic out.
How old are you
THANX,SILL, I TOLD THEM. I DID, MAY YOUR FRANDFATHER REST IN THE PEACE HE DESERVES
I had a phenomenal history teacher (survivor of WWII) in junior high who taught us all the politically incorrect, yet critical parts of history... From white slavery to currency manipulation a la the Spanish and British, to the opium wars and everything in between... I soaked up everything he taught while most of my classmates rolled their eyes, but have spent the last 30 years stunned at how little everyone else around me knows. At first people thought I was a snotty know it all, then I spent a lot of time believing most people around me must have been slackers, and then I started to think that maybe I just had a unique experience in American public education. Now I have wizened up and realize that this is actively suppressed information, and that my beloved junior high history teacher wasn't just teaching for a paycheck. Thank you for continuing his labor of love.
Thanks for watching.
Russian Jews LOL you Pink People are Not Jews you are liars.
You were very fortunate to have a teacher like that. I had a World History teacher in high school who attempted to teach a broader version of our textbook history (California, so...very limited historical information & definitely with a particular narrative that excludes white slavery). A student reported this teacher as straying from the textbook & so he was warned not to teach us anything but the limited garbage in our textbooks. It saddens me to hear the things I hear about what children are being taught today. It's even worse than it was when I was still in school & I graduated in the 1980s. Our youth need to know the truth. Slavery & human trafficking of all sorts has been occurring since before the birth of Christ. It has been done by all races at one time or another & continues in many places on this planet. No human being should be a slave. Ever. And no human being should be judged as evil, subhuman, stupid or opportunistic simply by the color of their skin or their religious beliefs. Noobody! As modern human beings, we may not know exactly where & when slavery began, but we could & SHOULD be able to end it. Everywhere. Forever.
@autumnchadwick8469 You people lie so much, you are pink/red. And calling yourself white.
My dear... love your comment. Wizen up... is with an s. Wisen. Hope you don't mind.
Human trafficking is one of the oldest businesses in human history. It effects all race,creed and religion.
Agreed
True
And it's still ongoing.
@@dannyo6699 It is and it will never stop as long as people see profit.
That is a sad thing
As an Indian it is critical to make it clear to audiences that the major difference between Islamic and European slavery was that the Europeans focused on enslaving the men. Islamic ones were dominated by women.
That's why Hindu women practised mass suicide through self immolation whenever their men were defeated in battle against Islamic invaders.
The practice was called Jauhar. A traumatic memory in the minds of our nation.
Thank you for your insight
I'm from a town that was founded by the people who survived one of their attacks. The pirates destroyed the city, burned everything to the ground, stole all the precious objects they could find in churches and palaces, and then took as many people as they could as slaves. Even the nuns from a monastery, which probably became sex slaves in North Africa. Their attacks were pretty common, and caused an economic underdevelopement in the area since they stole all they could and took people as slaves, as well as killing many men. They also introduced or re-introduced some diseases such as smallpox or malaria, causing even more damage. We have a lot of stories about these facts. We studied it at school also. I've always found it pretty fascinating.
Good posting. Thanks for watching.
The Modern tragedy is that white Europeans and Americans seem to have learned nothing from history as they allow the same Muslims with the same beliefs into western nations today. True insanity is doing the same thing yet expecting different results
Like Hamas and ISIS does right now today?
@@josephandreuccetti7270lmao.. um ok
Malaria is spread by mosquitoes not humans...are you making this up..?
Slavery is just as awful no matter the color of your skin. I'm Norwegian, and I've learned that many Norwegian and Danish sailors were captured and enslaved by the barbary pirates in the 1600s and 1700s. At one point the Danish king even had a separate treasury just to pay ransom for captured citizens. They used to collect money from churches all around Danmark and Norway. But the actions of the US Marines described in this video were new to me. Thanks for the information!
Agreed and thanks for watching!
How did they allow themselves to be enslaved by such backward societies?
@@josephinetracy1485what?
@@FaizCaliph How did a bunch of rag-tag north Africans build ships and sail up to Scandinavia and slave raid!?
@@josephinetracy1485 They weren't as rag-tag as you think and were much smarter and capable than you imagined?
As a descendent of white slaves (initially, "indentured servants" paying for ships passage), my male ancestor (×grandfather) remained in South Carolina until he got too old to work and only then was granted "released from bond". His wife was "traded" to a Georgia farm, then to a Louisiana farm, as his 4 sons and 3 grandsons remained slaves until the end of the "Civil War". I can't count the times I've been called a liar over my family tree, even when presenting documentation. This country is and has been SO manipulated and misguided on this particular topic.
Stop the hatred, people. Slavery endured throughout every culture, in every country, since the stone age. It's time to get over it.
Agreed. Thanks for the comment.
Good post
Your family deserves reparations too then.
Also where is your documentation!? I would luuuv to see it to present to others...
Your no decendant of slaves lol. Maybe Slavs but not slaves…
Who enslaved your ancestors and who emancipated them?
The lack of education in our schools should be addressed. History should be taught from the early years and on through the upper grades. Much of what I see here on Forgotten History I never learned in school. When I was young I found history rather boring. I liked getting good grades though and studied it anyway. I've no doubt forgotten much of what I learned in school, but watching your videos would have jogged my memory...if I'd learned these things in school.
Thanks for watching.
Yeah u Albinos was $old 2
Thank you so much for preserving the true history about slavery. I’m so glad I stumbled across this video and your channel!
Thanks for watching
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNELI'm an Army Infantry Veteran myself (OIF); but thank you for your service and for telling this history; the Marine Corp had a truly noble beginning (*even though I'm aware that they existed since 1775).
The history of battles against those people goes way beyond the 18th century.
Uncomfortable truths are the ones that should be discussed the most.
Couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching.

61 and nothing?
@@aleksandermiskowiec6591 What does that mean "61 and nothing?" ?
It was usual for Berber Muslims to capture slaves in the coasts of Spain, in fact that led to many rebellions against them. We still have a saying "no hay moros en la costa" (there's no Moors on the coast) a saying that is still used today to warn that there is no danger and there is no one coming.
Thanks for watching.
This should be included in history courses when teaching about slavery.🇺🇸
IM IN THE SOUTHERN AMERICA......
WILL THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE(indentures servants????) WILL BE ONLY (2) PARAGRAPHS????
My family is Russian and they had stories of slave raid by Kahzar tribes, Tartars and other groups that would capture women and girls as slaves not more than 150 years ago. When they escaped communism and fled tot China, the Uigur tribes would capture the Chinese local women and would have taken the Slavic population if the Slavs didn't retaliate with extreme violence. This was in from the 30's to the 50's.
Thanks for sharing.
ironically, the Japanese had a slave trade before and during WW II throughout China and later Asia.
Yes they did, largest in the 20th century
Jews, you meant Jews.
Where do I learn more about it? Thank you
As a black man I have also always wondered and been annoyed by the fact that white slavery is never mentioned there was even white on white slavery done by the vikings to the British and it’s still white slavery in Eastern Europe today
Thanks for the comment.
Exactly
That posting makes you far more enlightened than most others.
@187shak I think your full of it I think your really Whyte and trolling...
The Vikings also enslaved my ancestors in Western Europe in the 8th century. We must preserve true history. 👍
I am 74. This historical framework was once taught in schools. I was taught these things. The individual stories are horrifying.
Indeed.
Very well spoken, well researched, and as a cherry on the cake, beautifully compiled. Thank you for this immaculate piece of content and for shedding light on the forgotten truth.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for telling this history. A lot of people suffered throughout history; the least we could do for them is to tell and listen to their stories.
Thanks for watching.
Very true, misery is universal
Show us the descendants of the "A lot" of people. You know? The people born out of it.
Don't understand your question
@@EyesFoward Kidnapped people from Europe, Asia (near east, far east and in between), Africa, south and Central America, the Caribbean, slavery existed and exist in all these places. Their stories must be told, we can’t give them anything else, they shouldn’t be discarded and forgotten.
I just learned about the 165(4?) Virginia case that codified slavery in U.S. Law. The "slaveholder" was a black man - former indentured servant, who had his own indentured servants, which he refused to release from their bond after the 7 years of labor, and claimed the contract was intended for perpetuity. The court decided in his favor, allowing him to keep his four indentured servants as slaves: one black man, and three Irish men.
Yes, Anthony Johnson. Thanks for watching.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Also the July 9th 1640 case of Mr. Punch in VA. He was from Cameroon and an indentured servant. He was sentenced to life long slavery for running away. A Dutchman and a Scott ran away with him but only had their indentured service extended.
Woow! Hilarious!
This is a lie. You whites want to feel oppressed so bad it’s kinda weird.
@@rafaelw8115 you realize there is Irish people in the Barbados and the islands? How do you think they got there? It was either go, get killed or starve to death. So tired of people act like indentured servants weren’t ripped from their families and homelands also.
Only reason why this isn't properly taught in schools is that it goes against the narrative.
Agreed. Thanks for watching
I watched this longer video. I was very impressed with your details of what transpired. It's great that you are doing these Forgotten History Videos Colin. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
Thank you so much!
I had a history teacher who talked about the slave trade, and the impact of the North African tribes. Then it seemed to slip from history. When I tried to explain that no one was exempt from slavery, even today. I would hear the only thing history supports is the African Slave trade to America. So I thank you for your research and video. I might forward your video to a few people I know… peace
Feel free, we hope to educate many and thanks for watching
Calling them tribes makes me think you're racist
Actor Patrick Swayze was cautioned about where and what times he was out in a foreign country when he was there on a movie set. Can't remember how much he was told he was worth.
The African trade began because they ran out of Native Americans along the east coast. Once again, a people's own people captured them and sold them into slavery. To blame one race or any other group for slavery is stupid. Also, blaming someone's descendants is at the top of the ladder for stupid.
@@michaelwhismanexactly
Visiting the area around Sorrento in Southern Italy several years ago, we were shown the ruins of small houses built in the early 1800s in ravines that were very difficult to access but easily defensible. The guide explained that these were built as safe houses for local villagers to retreat to when Barbary pirates raided for loot and slaves and that the pirates were a scourge across the Mediterranean for several centuries.
Indeed they were. Thanks for sharing.
Good post, and yes Italy was a prime target.
Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Crete were ravaged by the slave traders
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL yes they were.
The Mediterranean Sea was just a large slavery supermarket for the pirates, the equivalent of a snatch and grab.
We in Bharat( so called India) are not aware of white slave trade, as we were taught about balck slave trade by European merchatnts in our history text books and thier transportation to both north and south American continets. Thanks for your educating and eye opening video on this topic.
Indian was also sold as slaves to the Caribbean and South America by their Indian country men for 5 rupees a head to the British,I know because I'm a descendant .
Learning about history just shows you so much about human nature and how close we all are
humans are just evil ... which is why i dont feel nothing for them.
Slavery is just disgusting. Race , colour or creed, slavery is painful and heartbreaking. Born free to pay with your life is heart sore.
"Race , colour or creed"...and gender. Women represent the vast majority of the current victims of human trafficking.
Crazy that the group routinely dismissed as the most evil were the only ones to realize it was evil and try to stop it.

@@mjanny6330so yes uniquely evil during a time when slavery was a thing and a bit after ;)

Slavery exists or has existed in every culture. It is the second oldest profession. Flight attendants from TWA and other airlines were kidnapped in the 1970- 80' s , and TWA ransomed them back. I have personal knowledge of this, as close family were involved. Slavery is and always has been " equal opportunity", a stain on Humanity, practiced by every major culture and race.
In addition, southern Irish coastal villages were raided and it's inhabitants carted off to Tripoli in the 1700's.
Correct thanks for posting.

@@ShemShakur Not a bad idea, and they could include the Mongol invasions of China, Europe, and western Asia into India and Mesopotamia as well.

@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL True, all had their hands in it
I am always taken aback when I read about slavery occurring from Africa. Slavery existed since biblical times, and probably before. Humans regularly fought amongst themselves, and as a consequence the victors took the vanquished as captives, or slaves.
True
you are correct, and it was all based upon the economic exploitation of others to benefit the masters.
While true, we tend to focus on black slavery. Entirely ignoring other ethnic groups who were enslaved, and still are, in certain countries. Not to mention that islam is still a big part of slavery today as it was hundreds of years ago...
@@Deborahtunes And, that is why I am always taken aback. White people think that slavery begins and ends with black slaves from Africa. They also don't recall the USA went to war with North Africa over enslaving white Americans.

My father too was Coast Guard, said the same thing. He was on the USS Centaurus , an invasionary transport, he was a machinist mate, stayed below in the engine room until a landing. He participated in 9 battles, Philippines, Guam, Saipan, Okinawa twice, a couple I can't remember and Pelilui. I think that was the worst he saw. He rarely ever talked about the war but did always commend the Marines. Going in first then others followed. He told me about his guys coming upon a Marine , must've been captured or killed, but was nailed to a tree with a sign saying Keep coming American n this is what you get. 1944 I believe.
@@jamesmalcolm6976 I knew a navy man who is my dads friend who passed away now, with a crate of eggs tattooed on one leg and a Crate of something else that I’ve forgotten now on the other leg. Was so odd I asked him what in the world do u have that tattooed on u for. I was a little girl. He said a lot of navy men have them tattooed on them. He said if the ship sinks those eggs and the other that I cant remember anymore will float. The tats was a old good luck tat. This would of been around 44 when he served. He was a lot older then my dad. He was a friend of my grandfathers. My grandpa served in the army tho. The old navy man was a hot mess too. I remember having a lot of fun with him. He always gave me dr. Pepper in a bottle. He had some crazy old tats all over but the crates on both legs with eggs and the other crate of something stuck out to me. Wish I could remember what was in the other crate. Maybe someone will know this. Both tats where common back then for navy men to get for good luck on navy ships because they floated and would not sink. Least what Tiny said.
Sounds like the Marines were taking credit that belonged to the Navy.

I am an amateur historian and consider myself very well versed in American history. I can personally date my family back to The Revolutionary War. I commend you sir for this very fine history lesson.

On both sides of my family I am a descendant of the Germanna settlement. My ancestors were indentured servants for 7 years to pay for their passage from Germany.
I didn’t find any of this out until after completing an Ancestry DNA test as my parents had told me we didn’t have any German ancestors.

Great presentation Colin. I've shared this with my Dad (vietnam vet Army) and a few ither friends. I thank you for your dilligent work.
You mention the Barbary pirates raiding Iceland. There is an excellent first hand account of them raiding an Icelandic village in 1627. It can be found in Voices of the Past on RUclips and is entitled "Enslaved Icelander Describes Horror of Ottoman Slave Market".
I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
Yes, they raided far and wide
It's hard to imagine that Icelanders would not have fought to the death, rather than be enslaved!
@@rongendron8705 They raided coastal regions usually at night and did not hang around to engage in any kind of altercations. Icelanders were not a very militarized society anyway, and would not have been as well armed as the Berbers and Moors. I am pretty sure the Arab raiders scoped out their targets long before they committed an insurgent force.
They did that on the English coast, as well as Ireland
I enjoyed the research and images for this - thanks !

Amazing how many have heard The Marine's Hymn but never thought about why it refers to the shores of Tripolii. This question asked to my family as a kid was why I knew about it because it was never taught in school.
England's oldest infantry Regiment has "Tangiers 1661" as it's earliest battle honour. The phrase "Briton's never,never,never shall be slaves" (in 'Rule Britannia') relates to the abduction of whole English villages along the south coast by Barbary pirates fron North Africa.
The West Africa squadron of the RN stopped boats bound for the Americas after an English Court ruled that slavery in England (&therefore in all common law juristictions worldwide) was unlawful. It was known as 'the Somerset Case'.
(From an English Veteran:) )
Correct people forget that the British Ilses were also targeted.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Most of Europe was hit by the Muslim slave trade.
You omit the fact Cornwall and Devon were occupied by Muslims.....white history calls them Barbary pirates to hide the fact Muslims terrorised the white man......one important fact barely touched upon was the Ottomans treachery towards fellow Muslims

They had stakes in every country enjoying the fruits of free slave labour. They didn't need to trade slaves anymore.. that's the real reason Briton abolished the slave trade.

And you actually have the nerve to applaud the white supremacist rhetoric in this video??
Smh. You're a disgrace to your race!
Amazing information. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching
Awesome video very much enjoyed and learned so much.
Glad to hear it!
I had heard about white slavery from my Grand Father who was born in Czechoslovakia, he came to America with his father and sister when he was 4 years old in 1929. He said one of the reasons his father moved the kids here after their mother passed away was because of the people being enslaved and the fear it would start up again and the fear of communism starting in the country. I never heard about it in all my years of school an college. Thank you for covering this topic.
Thanks for watching.
Only the hunter has a story to tell after killing the lion

@@carolynpatton-dq2dtCzechoslovakia were the hunter ??? 😂😂 they never had any slaves from others continents
In the 1930's, orphan laborers were in the US. If they did not have relatives visiting them, they were often labeled as mentally defective and placed on farms. My dad was one of them, but he never complained.
there was a lot of that in our history, especially in the textile industry
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Yes, and many worked in factories under appalling conditions
@@colinheaton4902 The child labor laws were created as a result in fact.
To this very day we need foster care/adoption reform! My wife and her sister were terribly abused (in everyway imaginable) by their foster/adopters. These children were mainly used for cash revenue by their captors, who paid off the local social workers - to stay out of their house. In 1970's Missouri, Warren Co.
It still went on in the 70's. I was givin to the state of Ohio as a teen and forced to work for the rich property owners at a place called "Holiday Haven" in Cambridge, Ohio.
awesome job, I also shared this and added this to my DOCS playlist on my channel. @FORGOTTEN HISTORY

Thanks for not watering down true history.

@THE Kids One of our trademarks
Didn't water it down, just lightened it up
You will never hear about this in a public school. Just ask the Irish or the Chinese about slavery.
Correct thanks for posting.
Kids do not learn history anyway, not in the last two decades
Every society has been afflicted and responsible as well for slavery.Irish raiders took slaves from Wales during the Dark Ages.Nobody has clean hands in this vile trade
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL The first Irish people and Vikings were dark-skinned Afro-Germanics descended from the Alemanni,Mongolians,Ancient Israelites,Canaanites,Sumerians,Iberians,Thracians,Etruscans,Dravidians and Manchurians .That`s where the terms "Gaul","Celt","Goth" and "Black Irish" come from. Modern Irish and British people are the descendants of Roman,Greek,Germanic,Norman,Cypriot,Macedonian,Anatolian,Cornish,Brythonic(Welsh) and Persian colonizers.
And the Scots. Many shipped off across the Atlantic in chains for fighting against Cromwell.
Very interesting. Love this channel. Just stumbled on it.
Thank you kindly
great show, I subbed on this
Thank you kindly
Great job Marine! Your content just keeps getting better.
Thanks very much.
We appreciate it
Back in my early teenage years in high school in BC Canada we learned about this. People today dont believe me (because the quality of the teaching systems seems to be lacking leadership and quality standards) when I tell them about this though nowhere in depth as you have. Thank you for your service, thank you for the history.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
We appreciate it
That's by design, to make the world forget what they did and enforce what happened in America. The leftists want America to be rememberd as the country that created slavery, even though slavery existed for mlennias before any white person discovered America.
In the Bible, Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, and taken to Egypt. The Israelited ignored warnings by Jeremiah and as a result were conquered and enslaved by the Babylonians. It's happened throughout history.
@@dannyo6699 yes it has, thanks
Of course you won't. Schools pick and choose what they want to teach. And we know the drivel that is taught today.
You are doing such important work here. Thanks, and respect.
Much appreciated
Loved the video and the background music is great. A critic is ramping your voice up a bit more. You have a great voice. Embrace it ❤

Excellent Video!
I'm from Morocco and there is a Street in the old Medina called "slave souk", Starting from the seventeenth century until 1912, diplomats and representatives of foreign countries resided in the famous Consuls Street. This was because they could easily access the slave market, and free their captured citizens from pirates who had sold them at public auctions.
Thanks for that information
I had no idea of America's hand in stopping the Barbary slave trade. Just subscribed. Great work.
Thank you!
We appreciate it
Yes. Americans of all colors should be grateful for this place.
Nothing disgusts me more than woke activists who claim slavery started with the white man in America. It’s so utterly ignorant. Slavery was a worldwide institution which went on for thousands of years and oppressed every race, religion, ethnicity. America had the guts to stand up and put an end to the immoral practice by going to war with itself. Yet all we get from this generation of liars and race hustlers is grief and hatred.
It’s a shame the truth is suppressed and the lie is put on a pedestal. UnGodly.

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. It's great that you specify that all people have been enslaved even today and it should be abolished in all its forms. ENJOYED. 👍👍
Thank you!

My. Thoughts Exactly. People forget that the theme songs from each of our Brothers & Sisters that have served and fought in battle (even our own "Star Spangled Banner") has a history where men and women of various creeds and ethic backgrounds died so that the rest of us can enjoy and thrive in both freedom & liberty. "Freedom & Liberty, bought with Blood & Sacrifice." There is another allegory that I use. "By One Man (the Carpenter), a select group of people and ultimately a nation would be both redeemed and saved; by that Nation; a World; by that World, a Galaxy; by that Galaxy, a Universe." We have yet to see the Carpenters fulfillment of that, but I have every confidence He will complete His Purpose.
Well said! All I hear is mainstream popularity shaming people about historical events that we didn't, and wouldn't, participate in. The Arabic slave trade is still ongoing. The ancient Egyptians were prolific slavers. As were nearly all countries of the world, that had any sort of population. If anything, the US practiced slavery for the least amount of time amongst all other countries. Slavery was only legal in the US for 86 years (illegalized by the Union president, a couple years before the Civil War started). While that was a sad part of our history, I'm proud of my people for being the change in the world. We were the nation that encouraged all oppressed to rise up against tyranny. And now tyranny tries to shame us for one of our best world-changing cultural shifts! The protests you see worldwide are echoes of our Revolution.
@@echofoxtrot2.051 I'm from the south and I too am very proud of our nation. It's important to remember that people lived under different times and for awhile this was deemed ecceptible. But that put in our constitution (all men are created equal)and we as a country strive to uphold our beliefs is commendable this we must do every day lest we all of our freedoms.
Hello, I've just discovered this channel and so far it is doing a great job. I had a few gaps in history that are getting more and more filled with knowledge. Thank you for helping me on that.
My question is: since when has the USA a "no negotiation with terrorists/hostage takers" policy? And what about the other countries?
I think it would make a great subject and would be in your chords, since military conflicts start when negotiations fail, and they stop after negotiations (or at least some diplomatic agreements).
The never negotiate policy (often times ignored behind the scenes) started with the James Carter Administration, but it was not an official policy until Reagan. But then again, arms were shipped to Iran in their war against Iraq for them using their influence to get Hezbollah and Hamas to release Americans being held in Lebanon. Thanks for watching
Your videos are absolutely insane, man.... fantastic job.
Thanks for watching.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL thank you for making them! And thank you for your service!!
From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli! Every Marine knows this part of history, it's mandatory for us. Maybe it's time for the rest of the world to remember it.
Indeed. Semper Fi
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL no argument there
No it's mainly US that needs to remember it, particularly the 'liberals'
@@adamknight5089 No argument there
Remember it? First we need to learn it!!!
I'm slowly watching your content, really like the little pearls you find and the easy way you explained them. I already knew 90% of this history, but I really enjoyed learning this last 10%.
Best regards from Barcelona and keep the good work Marine. ;)
Thank you!
We appreciate it, I loved Barcelona, also my Spanish football club
Yes I liked the info on this vidio. Lots of detail never learned in history in highschool. .
Sad to say even today slavery is still around . I do not refer to the norm human trafficking for forced prostitute or forced porn industry . That is just as bad .
Great will be the day of the return of Jesus. The evil will try to run and hide . There will be no we're to hide From the lord's justice. Till then we do what we can . These things I speak of fill me with anger
The hypocrisy of various organizations and political leaders make me sick.

The most famous Spanish author of all time, Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, fought at the battle of Trafalgar, wounded and made a prisoner. He spent several years in North Africa until somebody paid a ransom for him and could return to Spain.
Thanks for watching, but Cervantes was captured at the Battle of Lepanto Oct. 7, 1571 fightiing Turks, then sold to Algerian. Trafalgar was Oct. 21, 1805, but good posting.
Thank you for the information. As a former Marine Officer, at TBS they showed "The Wind and the Lion," that was our history lesson on the subject.
Not a bad film, thanks for watching.
You guys should do some merch! Great Hidden History!!!
Great video. Thank you
This is the part of history nobody is talking about.
Agreed.
It goes against their victimhood narrative
@@colinheaton4902 I knew this 60 years ago. Maybe was suppressed in your state, or maybe, like I have suspected most of my life, many Americans don't care to learn such things because history is "boring" and who cares about it anyway? Or even better, like to play "victim" and "oppressed" white person who usually likes to showboat their ignorance. There is an awful lot of that in the country right now. Cheers, and have a nice day
Most people are not well-versed in history, nor does it play much of a part in their everyday discussions. But I would hardly call it a deliberate effort to withhold information.
@@xbubblehead History is often uncomfortable, hence it is often disregarded
Every country had slaves like the man said, some countries had as slaves their own people, some countries had slaves from other countries, Rome had slaves, Africa had slaves when one tribe captured another tribe they made slaves out of them, the list could go on. But all we hear is about the black slaves here in America like we were the only country that had slaves. Slavery is wrong an should not be tolerated but unfortunately it's still around in different guides such as sex trafficking of women an young girls. If history was honest an not changed it would even include the Indians of or now called native Americans had slaves, I'm sure there was bad blood between different tribes an fighting among them an the losers were pressed into slaves unless killed. Let's face it no country or race is perfect it's just not possible for that to happen an all countries have skeletons in their closets but are not talked about like they are here as other countries never talk about their skeletons.
Well said
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Agreed
Probably because you/America, has the most BLACK slaves in prison even in today’s world. Millions in prison rotting away for crimes whites don’t get put into slavery for. Blacks locked up for using weed while whites are getting filthy rich off of weed dispensaries is one example.
@@plainman9887 Most of those in prison are gang members who committed violent crimes, up to and including murder. We also have a much larger population than many other countries. Blacks make up 12% of the population yet commit 72% of the violent crimes (FBI stats) and 90% of those crimes are against other blacks. Cry somewhere else.
Black people were tortured tho.... Some slavery was different. Like servitude until a debt was paid off... then they were free to go....
I am of Slavic descent, and many of my ancestors were enslaved by Arabs and North Africans.

7.25 White women were highly prized and fetched a high price. They were still on sale in Turkish territories until the 1870s but so expensive only the wealthiest Turks could afford them. The British explorer Samuel Barker got his Hungarian wife in Turkish ruled Albania where she was on sale at the local slave market. He was outbid by the local Turkish Pasha but he was so taken with her he bribed her guards and they ran away together. You can see her story on the Internet. They were celebrities in Victorian England but the queen refused to see him because she thought he had had sexual relations with her before they were married. He had.
Thank you, I knew no one was immune from being slaves but now I have a place to bring this truth forward..... subbed

Yeap, those were the events where our Marines got their famous sword.
Indeed. Thanks for watching.

Read the book "They were white and they were slaves" by Michael A Hoffman II. White slaves were treated ten times worse than black slaves. "Indentured servants" was a fancy word for slavery used by the British. British royalty were involved in white slavery.
I'll look into it. Thanks for the commment.
So were the other royal houses of Europe. Look up King Leopold II of Belgium and his personal property, The Congo.

@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL you forgot about the Irish slaves after the potato famine.poor Irish people were exported to the USA. Women sold as housemaid and the men were sold for work on Railway building. The British were taking the Irish to the USA.

That's amazing. Thanks, for sharing this forgotten history. Hebrews were slaves in Egypt for 400 years. Romans had slaves from every people group and country they conquered. With all the human trafficking going on these days and the population explosion in the last 130 years, there's more slavery than ever before.
