Small correction. Gaspar Yanga was the only fully successful rebellion in the 16th-17th century. Queen Nanny of Jamaica found success in the 18th century
Can you do an Episode on the Garínagu/Garfifuna people next? You have done a lot of episodes lately on afro-carib stories and I find that there is one of the most interesting and iluminating particularly the histories of St. Vincent and Livingston.
There was another earlier one as well, but almost nothing is easily researchable about it the slave rebellion in San Miguel de Guadalupe in 1526. Maybe you will have more look finding out about it. I think most of the surviving sources are in 15th and 16th century spanish and church latin.
You should look into The Gullah Wars !
@@ldeatgreedy6830 history with no chaser has vidoes about it
Yeah Gaspar Yanga was the Nat Turner of Mexico. And in the 19th century John Horse and the Black Seminoles earned their freedom too.
I love historical stories like this because it shows we never accepted servitude.
I agree 100%
Like John Horse is Florida, but afro Mexicans weren't counted on the census until 2015
@tejano151
racism and oppression must end now, or suffer the consequence.
NO TRUE HAITI NEVER ACCEPTED IT
THE OTHER ONES DID , IT STOPED WHEN THE PARLEMENT ABOLISHED IT, BESIDE THE HAITIEN EVERYONE WAS IN SERVITUDE STOP EMBELISHING THE STORY THAT ARE LIES. AND NOW NOBODY IS HERE TO HELP HAITI THAT IS STILL PUNISHED FOR FREEYIN THE BROTHERS, PLUS WE FREED ALL SOUTH AMERICA GIVE THEM 3000 RIFLES, 300 SOLDIERS A PRESS MASHINE AND 300 MENS (LOOK IT OUT ON RUclips). SIMON BOLIVAR (LATIN HERO PRINTED FACE ON PESOS) HOUSE IS STILL IN HAITI WHERE HE FREED THE WHOLE SOUTH AMERICA AND WAS ONLY SAFE IN HAITI WHERE HIS KIDS GREW.... STOP LYING TO MAKE JAMAICA LOOK LIKE HAITI. WE ARE BROTHERS BUT YOU ALWAYS TRY TO LIE AND MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE YOU FOUGHT AND GOT FREED. NO THEY FREED YOU THIS IS WHY YOUR COUNTRY IS SO NICE TODAY YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE KILLING OF 70 000 FRENCH ELITE SOLDIERS (WE WHERE 20 000 WITH WOMAN AND CHILD) THE BATTLE OF VERTIÈRE GO LOOK THIS OUT! AND STOP LYING
Africans never did. That's the illusion.
Ahh Gaspar Yanga a real hero I’m glad my parents taught me about him as a Mexican kid 👏🏼
You might also be interested to know that Haiti helped Mexico fight in their war for independence. In 1816 Mexico sent General Francisco Javier Mina to Haiti to meet with Alexander Pétion and request help in their war for independence from Spain. Pétion provided several hundred Haitian soldiers, and arms on condition that Mexico abolish slavery in Mexico. The Haitian troops traveled to Galveston to aid in the revolution.
The case can be made that Haiti helped free a whole laundry list of nations in the Western Hemisphere from European colonial powers.
And furthermore the largest slave revolt in US history was led by a Haitian man named Charles Deslondes in Louisiana. 1811 German Coast Insurection. 500+ enslaved Africans bravely fought for their freedom.
Salute!
There were multiple successful slave uprisings in the Americas before Haiti. Like the Jamaican Maroons, lead by Nani. She not only defeated the British army several times in battle, she even managed to force a peace treaty which gave her people their own sovereign region in central Jamaica.
The Black Caribs did not play either.
Enriquillo
was a taino maroon leader who fought alongside african wolof maroons in haiti between in the early 1500s
Thanks for pointing that out
Why don’t these guys get the same respect as Louvertour? Because there was no state founded?
St. Vincent and The Grenadines also.
you should do a separate series on African Latino history. People forget that the largest population of Africans in the western hemisphere is in South America yet Latinos never identify as black there is a huge African presence in Peru, Colombia and Brazil.
Yesss I agree more of the history of how the south and central America and the Caribbean Islands are not mentioned enough. More stories like theses please.
Why would it need to be a separate series if they’re melanated?
I think what the US defines as black conflicts with what other diasporans identify as black.
The African influence is quite evident in the music, dance, food and overall culture of "Latin America."
America has 45 million blacks, Brazil has double that with 90 million, Columbia has like 5 million those are the tops outside of African countries but the Olmecs were in South America 4k years ago...before Mayans,Incas, Aztecs which later lost to Spain's conquistadors like Cortez.
I’m assuming this is about Gaspar Yanga. I honestly thought this was well known. Mexico’s first President was half black.
I knew about Vicente Guerro but not yanga and im Mexican
Sadly, The Great Gaspar Yanga story is hardly known but I have a feeling that's going to change here soon. He was a great warrior and champion for his people. Hopefully a movie is made about him some day and millions of people of african decent can know his name and honor his bravery.
@MalchiYAH yep
@@charlesspeaksthetruth4334 Mexico has done plenty to bury our history like the white supremacist, they are deeply white supremacists in their souls
@Robert Scott native Americans weren’t part of judah but maybe part of the 12 tribes
HAITI was the most successful and very First Black republic had defeated 3 Empires England ,Spain and France and Haiti helped several countries to gain theire independence Haiti spark that fire to abolish slavery around the world
You are right 😉
Biggest cap ever.
@@xtraprebel6274 no cap
@@principalitycidade4323Haiti never beat anyone, the British naval blockade stopped the french from supplying more troops to take control.
@@principalitycidade4323Thank the British for Haitis freedom.
This story needs to be turned into a movie, mini-series, or novela at least. Very significant in many ways.
Im a black Mexican and this video makes so proud to be black. History book doesn’t show we were the ones building this continent!
Stop saying you built some damn thing.
You didn't build anything in Mexico
You guys are like a needle in the haystack out there
@@vatolocosforever803 who are you to say that?
You had Indians in Mexico that defeated the Spanish in wars like the chichimeca and Yaqui Indians
Rebellion and Revolution are two different things. Rebellions existed all over the Americas. These rebellions almost always resulted in maroon "colonies" being formed. The 16th century had many slave rebellions that created legal treaties between Africans and Europeans for sovereignty. These events happened before Yanga in mexico. The very first rebellion happend on tbe island of hispaniola On Christmas Day 1521. This was the first recorded slave revolt in the Americas. A group of African, came together with native Indians led by the Taíno cacique Enriquillo to fight the soanish and take their independence . Beyond being the first slave revolt in the Americas, it was also one of the most important moments in Colonial American history because it was the first known instance when Africans and Indians united against their Spanish overlords in the Americas. There was also Bayano in Panama, in 1553 where the soanish had to negotiate with Rebelling Africans , leading to free states...There were also rebellions and maroon towns in Brazil, cuba the Americas..whether sanctioned and legally acceoted by Europeans colonialist or not maroon villages existed. The things with maroon towna is that they were located so far off such as hills or forest area, europeans were least likely to get to them. The HAITIAN REVOLUTION was more than a rebellion. There had been centuries of rebellions and maroonage on that island as well but the Revolution didn't just create a free state but FREE NATION.
I discovered Yanga only 3 years ago. That is how covered up this was.
Lol same. Didn't know about this freedom fighter/warrior/king as a kid. I had to find out about him on youtube, decades later lol. For only a few years, I knew his story but it should have been sooner.
Afromexicans weren't counted on the census until 2015, and still not allowed on Telemundo t.v.
we keep making excuses. it is not the job of others to teach us our history but ours to learn it. read books, travel, speak with historians etc
@@mch7933 Wrong! It is up to "others" to teach us our history. Our parents, our elders are suppose to teach us this at a young age and give us this knowledge when we need it the most. Yeah! Self teaching is Great but if you been told all your life, you have no history. You're not going to bother self teaching yourself because you've been told all your life there's nothing there but slavery.
@@amberwilliams1380 good luck expecting other races teach you your history and blame them for not teaching you what you failed to teach yourself
The energy on those mountains is insane
Mexico has a statue of him. This is well known and very old but its great to here it from here. This guy makes you feel like you're there with them.
I wish when I was homeschooling my son, that I had your videos at my access. (He'll be 21 in Dec.) Your in-depth history research and video production is fantastic for educating our young in things we have not been taught in school. Thank you for taking the time to make these most informative videos on black history! ❤️❤️
Knowledge of self can never be undone🙏🏽👑✊🏽 Loved this.
This is great information 🙂
Once again, brother, you wowed and inspired me! I'm sharing.
I think there were other "Maroon" states in Central and South America later.
Freedom is the God given birthright of every human being.
Great video. More!
What about the Jamaicans they had a maroon town established by runaway slaves and they also had a rebellion against the British, led by a woman called Queen Granny Nanny.
Yanga and his people were basically related with the maroons who fought in Gullah wars. John horse was a maroon warrior. The maroon nation in the south was the most powerful and was never submitted. They were a fighting force.
Yah rebellions and revolutions are different
The maroons of Suriname gained their independence in the 1700's and also in the 1700's the maroons of St. Lucia took over the island for an entire year know as L'aneé de la Liberté.
This page is absolutely necessary for the truth seekers of OUR history and our culture. Thank you. I am a happy subscriber and I just purchased a Hometeam Hoodie. One love. All power to the
The British Parliament abolished the transatlantic slave trade in 1807 (BECAUSE HAITI FREE THEMSELVES IN 1804 FROM FRENCH, ENGLAND HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FREE JAMAICA), which increased planters' costs in Jamaica at a time when the price of sugar was already dropping. Parliament subsequently approved an emancipatory act that gave all enslaved people in British colonies their freedom by 1838.
Salute to Gaspar Yanga.A true general in the struggle. :D
Funny people act like our ancestors couldn’t have fought back here lol
They tried and did fight back. They were not successful.
The school systems play a superb role on that notion to brainwash the masses with thiers indoctrination!
They were alotta of Rebellions
@@pijim96 they had sucessful rebellions in North America multiple ones. Such as the Patriot War of 1812, Creole Case 1841, Slave revolt of 1526, Maroon Wars of 1801-1802, Civil War, and the Gullah Wars.
Love the videos homie...its been a real pleasure to hear these stories for the first time
This was the first fight for freedom in México against Spain, truly an inspiration. Greetings from, well, Mexico obviously
Thank you for uploading this. Much appreciated!
Actually the largest slave revolt was the Gullah wars and the Gullah wars lasted 100 years. Hometeam history you need to make a video about it and make a video about John horse
What about Joseph chatoyer or henry berry lowerie
A real life T’Chala in the face of adversity.
Upon the approach of the Spanish troops, Yanga sent terms of peace via a captured Spaniard. He asked for a treaty akin to those that had settled hostilities between Indians and Spaniards: an area of self-rule in return for tribute and promises to support the Spanish if they were attacked. In addition, Yanga said this proposed district would return any slaves who might flee to it. This last concession was necessary to soothe the worries of the many slave owners in the region.
The Spaniards refused the terms and went into battle, resulting in heavy losses for both sides. The Spaniards advanced into the maroon settlement and burned it.
@@welovecheshirecats4557 Gaspar Yanga still continue fight then he eas replaced by luis angola
In my country, they created Palenque near Cartagena city. A territory, taken by the escaped slaves, that the Spanish could never take control of. Today, they still keep their own language descendent from the originals in Africa.
Thank you for always educating us
Hi everyone, did you know that Jean Jacques Dessalines after the independance of Haiti proposed to the US president to buy all slaves $15 each so that they could be free. No response till today...
wow I didn’t know Haiti tried so hard to fight for all black people ❤️ it's sad that haiti's FULL story is never told properly
Don’t forget about the Maroons of Jamaica and other islands that are still free and sovereign
Many people, and even Mexicans in the States them selves have never heard of this man, and some never knew Mexico has a Black population.
True !!
Afromexicans weren't counted on the census until 2015, there's videos on it...the oppression is worldwide but they've been fighting back in the courts and letters to the UN
Cuba and Jamaica also had many
Great job
Roger Roger the actions towards Sub Saharan Africans in Latin America in general was sometimes harsher then the treatment that they faced in Anglo, Franco, Dutch, And Other parts of The Americas
The Franco is apart of latin america hence french is a latin based language but it is underspoken of in Spanish xolonies
We will forever love Gaspar Yanga!!
Omg my grandma told me about this but really didn't understand the story when she told me. She was afomexicana and was from veracruz and said that her father passed the story down to her about how they had once faugh with some Aztecs against the spaniards. I am so proud I didn't know it was true
Haiti's was a full scale revolution though and involved an entire country unlike in Mexico.
And then Haiti were forced to pay money to France years later.
@tejano151 better Africans than drug cartels lol El Chapo for president!
@@listenup2882
Good point, corrupt officials out in the open, might as well jump off a bridge or start a war, cause the ending would be the same anyways.
@tejano151 “ look at haiti” you mean the impoverished state due to forced war reparations to France, and trade embargos from the United States? Yeah great comparison...
@Gina Thompson
what is 25th amendment
I'm half-Mexican and I've never heard of him. I'm very glad I know now!
Gaspar Yanga established the first Black Free Town in Mexico! Selah, Sister Hasiah 1863
That's is an awesome story
Greetings from Mexico! I really love this channel!
Great !!! Matondo.
Thank you for this knowledge
As a Mexican I love my African roots and honor my ancestors every day
very good video!
Black & Brown is MY LIFE!!!!
These Ancestors didn't accept servitude, but the rest did... Thank God for these great warriors
OMG this story is beautiful thanks so much my support for your team is invaluable 🙏🏽❤️❤️
I could be wrong about this but I also think that it was a successful slave revolt even before Gasper Yanga in Spanish Florida in 1526 in San Miguel de Gualdape.
They didn’t revolt they rebelled
Yes that was the first sucessful rebellion in North America.
@@xtraprebel6274 Yes
awesome awesome this is my tv!!
Very informative thank you.
Thank your. Something to make black people proud of herself knowing that they can make it
Such bravery is needed now in the 21st century
Thank you for putting up this video!
I found it incredibly interesting.
I'm glad like you and others are teaching lesser known history of various peoples because let's face it our school systems aren't doing it.
I know of this story. Even seen the statue of his.
You need a podcast
shou tout to the polish communities in Hatti still holding strong since helping in that revolution
Haitians defeated Europeans without polish help. I saw what you did here. 👎
@@vtecnegro85 the polish did help. They should be respected and acknowledged in Haiti ✊🏻✊🏾
@@vtecnegro85 I agree that Haiti would have gained its independence without them, but I think it's still a beautiful part of the great haitian history and we cherish this part of our history as well. A lot of haitians still carry polish names and heritage ❤️
@David Hoj Were a small army, the Haitians did the most work.
@@CaptainDiaspora they helped in doin the work too Dessalines declared the polish legally black and became haitian legally
What about San Basilio de Palenque?
my great great great great great great great grandfather 🤝🏾 We still fight your struggle in Guerrero 💪🏾✊🏾
What about slave rebellions in Africa against their African masters?
U mad white boy
So the African slave owners maintained control ?
For a peaceful african tribe i can choose to base my character in a show im creating
Please can you doe a video about Sengbeh pieh of Sierra Leone
Damn so we were slaves in South Americas, Mexico,US,Arabia,China,Europe,ottoman,North&south Africa smh...we truly are a very oppresed people Mashallah 😓
May Allah help us!
Even the prophet Muhammad had black slaves...
@@brianvesta So did Mansa MUsa, so did the kings of the Kongo, so did the old(Blk)Egyptian kings.. So what.. It mattered how they were treated not the slavery it slef. If you study history slavery was life form the times of Egypt to about the 19th century.
Wow.
Wow! I wish I knew about this when I went. I stayed at the Resort and with-in its compound.😏
Para bailar la Bamba se necesita una poca de gracia. Ayyy arriba, arriba, arriba ire, por ti sere por ti sere!!! 🎶
This song is from the state of Veracruz, where Yanga founded the first free black community in America, and this song is almost 400 yrs old. And I strongly believe was created by our afromexican brothers.
Hey HomeTeam History you did have a successful slave revolt on a ship called Little George in 1730. Have you heard about it?
Have you heard of Zumbi dos Palmares in Brazil? He was the last of the rulers of an autonomous zone of escaped slaves in Brazil that lasted almost a century
Thank you for your docs. I use them in my class. My professor from Nicaragua told me that there was a Afro rebellion in the 1700 century also. She didn't give me more details though, as we were in the middle of my M.A.
Can you make a story about Gxam a Xhosa folktale. Its about him and his soon to be wife killing death
Yanga baby! Shout-out to Veracruz! #Oye! Mi gente!
Yanga is not a hero, the first genocide to appear on an official history Yanga ... Who mercilessly killed and dismembered children, priests and women, they massacred them "in the most cruel way," and there were even cases of cannibalism. from yanga ... !! THE MASSACRE IS NOT FORGOTTEN!”, murderer
My vision will always stay ingrained
Towns in Veracruz, oldest state in Mexico, with names like Mandinga, Matamba, Mozambique, Mozomboa, Chacalapa, Coyolillo, and of course, Yanga!
Today afro Latinas don’t even wanna identify as blacks...
Not taught in the Deaducation System of the West Curriculum.
... thanks for this information!!! Big respect to Gaspar Yanga!!! he made it happen!!! so can we!!!

Mexican “Mix”ican there always been afromexicanos there is even a small population of other races that migrated there melting pot... it’s sad though that the natives and Africans were forced off there own lands and teamed up to survive
I will never forget my emperor status from peru...
5/5
Thomas Sowell says slave rebellions never happened. He also represents the Hoover Institute, so he's a puppet.
They is also a settlement of nations in northeast Colombia 30 miles from Cartegena which is now a UNESCO heritage site. Founded by runaway slave called Bonkos Bios. The last if its kind in Latin America. It's become an increasingly popular tourist destination and to a certain extent pilgrimage for many Afro- descendant. The inhabitants are very proud, speak a slightly different form of Spanish with many African linguists dialect. Beautiful
Make a video on his for your channel. He also has a statue in the square.
Ha
All this history of shows me just how uniquely difficult and rigid slavery was in the United States.
❤️
Today we need to mentally rebel
👍🏾
Question: Not sure if you've watched Lovecraft Country, but there is a scene where a character, Hippolyta, travels through time and finds herself as an escaped or freed(?) slave and appears to be training under a tribal queen to fight Confederate soldiers with a group of warrior women. Is this purely fictional or did something like this happen?
I love your content and the truth and knowledge you're sharing not only with the Diaspora, but the world!
For when one stand on the foundation’s of universal Devine self the fire for liberty can not be quenched. Shall a king fail to be king for he has no throne. Which is greater he that commands the throne or he who sits on it. Great king we remember your works!
Latins don’t know how closely related they’re to blacks
Can you advice me some books about the same topic but in brazil?
What happened to them?
It continued growing as a free community until today, however, it’s pretty impoverished as well as many rural communities in Mexico
All Praises to Gaspar Yanga🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

Yanga resonates with Manianga or Manyanga people of Gabon and Congo. They are related to the Lozi people of south Africa.
Do a video on Malik Ambar
Great fucking video!
Plan to visit the statue soon ✊🏿
Anyone have any book suggestions ? Never herd of Gasper Yanga and would really like to know more.
