African slaves
Engraving of native African slaves during the 19th century. Between the 15th and 19th centuries many Africans were shipped to the Americas, Arabia and India. The slaves were generally bought by European, American and Arabic traders from Africans along the African coast. These traders had in turn captured the slaves from the African interior. The first industrialised country to abolish the slave trade was Denmark in 1792. Other countries followed, although some just banned the import of slaves and did not free their current slaves until much later. Photographed from an 1880s book on the travels of Scottish explorer David Livingstone.
Slavery refers to a system in which individuals are owned by other individuals or groups and are forced to work without pay, often against their will, and are deprived of their basic human rights. Here are some key points about slavery:
Historical practice: Slavery has been practiced throughout history in various forms and in different societies, dating back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It has also been prevalent in many parts of the world during the colonial era, including the African slave trade to the Americas and the transatlantic slave trade.
Human rights violation: Slavery is widely recognized as a gross violation of human rights. It involves the denial of basic freedoms and rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and dignity. Slavery also often involves physical and psychological abuse, exploitation, and discrimination.
Abolitionist movements: Over the years, there have been various movements and efforts aimed at abolishing slavery. Prominent abolitionist movements have occurred in different countries and regions, led by activists, social reformers, and human rights advocates who fought against the practice of slavery and advocated for its abolition.
Impact on individuals and societies: Slavery has had profound and long-lasting impacts on the lives of enslaved individuals, their families, and societies as a whole. Enslaved individuals often suffer from physical and psychological trauma, loss of identity, and limited opportunities for education and economic advancement. Slavery has also had broader social, economic, and cultural impacts on societies, including perpetuating social inequality, creating intergenerational trauma, and shaping historical and cultural narratives.
Legal abolition: Slavery has been legally abolished in most countries around the world. International human rights conventions and treaties, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization’s Forced Labour Convention, have explicitly condemned and called for the abolition of slavery. However, despite legal abolition, contemporary forms of slavery, such as forced labor, debt bondage, and human trafficking, still persist in various parts of the world, highlighting the ongoing challenges in eradicating slavery completely.
Continued efforts to combat slavery: There are ongoing efforts by governments, organizations, and individuals to combat modern-day slavery and support victims of slavery. These efforts include legislative measures, awareness campaigns, advocacy, and support for survivors of slavery. International organizations, NGOs, and human rights groups continue to work towards the eradication of all forms of slavery and the protection of human rights for all individuals.
In summary, slavery is a historical and contemporary human rights violation that has had profound impacts on individuals and societies. While significant progress has been made towards its abolition, efforts to combat and eradicate all forms of slavery continue to be important in order to protect the fundamental rights and dignity of all individuals.

Once upon a time, African nations fought each other, as nations tend to do throughout history. After a victory, an African nation would often enslave many of the enemies it had captured. Most of these enslaved Africans, from various nations, were then traded or sold to Europeans along the west coast. Next, the slaves were shipped like cargo across the Atlantic Ocean. This journey became known as The Middle Passage, and it became the largest movement of people in history. Conditions on the ships during the Middle Passage were so dreadful that up to 15 percent of the slaves didn’t even make it to the end of the journey. Packed like sardines in filthy conditions, most died from malnutrition and disease.
In 1619, a Dutch ship brought twenty Africans to the new British colony of Jamestown, Virginia. The slaves were needed to work in the quickly growing tobacco industry. From there, slavery spread throughout the American colonies. Over the next 200 hundred years, millions more would arrive to work large tobacco, indigo, and rice plantations in what would become the United States.
During the colonial era, you know, when states were just British colonies, most slaves worked on tobacco plantations.
Household slaves, those who acted as servants to colonists, were the next largest group.
Some of the earliest slaves were actually Native Americans, but they tended to die from European diseases or escape, so Africans became more preferable. During the first years of slavery in the 1600s, Africans experienced a relatively high level of racial tolerance and flexibility from their European owners. Several slaves could wander freely, get married, buy land and other property, or even buy their own freedom. You heard that right- that means they were actually paid some for their work, and several Africans in the colonies were not slaves. In some cases, slaves were freed if they were able to prove in court they were baptized as a Christian. In one Virginian county in 1668, 29 percent of all Africans were free. Some free Africans even owned slaves!
Because many Europeans were indentured servants, whites and black servants sometimes worked together, received the same punishments, and even plotted escapes together.
Beginning in the late 1660s, colonists in Maryland and Virginia passed new laws that further restricted the rights of all blacks, free and slaves.
Most slaves worked in the Chesapeake Bay region, working on huge tobacco plantations and large farms. The work was very hard, and slaves were busy most of the year, working sunrise to sunset. For those working on sugar plantations, which were larger than tobacco plantations, the work was even more difficult. While the most back breaking work fell to the strongest and healthiest, less physically demanding jobs were still handled by older or younger slaves- there was no minimum or maximum age for working. Slaves on plantations usually lived in complete family units, and they got Sundays off. Slave families became close, as did each slave community on every plantation.
This gave way to a new culture, in which customs came not just from their current ways of life, but from memories and traditions brought from Africa. Slaves told folktales and fables, which kept oral traditions strong. Slaves made drums, banjos, and rattles similar to those found in Africa. Enslaved women made baskets using an African coiling method and sewed quilts with African patterns. Many slaves became Christian, almost seamlessly merging their African religions and traditions with Christianity. Their version of Christianity gave way to slave preachers, who led congregations on plantations where they often expressed themselves through singing and dancing. It was a powerful, spiritual way for them to gain hope.
Tragically, plantation slaves were more likely to be sold or transferred than slaves working inside colonist houses. Tight-knit families were split apart, often with little notice. They were also more likely than household slaves to get brutally punished because they were seen as less valuable than household slaves.
Household slaves generally ate better, were dressed better, and had more freedom to move about. However, they usually worked seven days a week and worked even longer hours. Other slaves did things like working in ironworking, shipbuilding, and other early industries.

The Disturbing Truth About Breeding Farms During Slavery
This is a reupload due to sensitivity issues.
The antebellum period of American history is characterized by disturbing slavery. Its entire economic output was dependent on slave labor and the reduction of persons into property. Yet at the turn of the 19th century, the transatlantic slave trade saw huge opposition, acquiring slaves was no longer an option for colonial powers, so there had to be other ways. Welcome to Bizarre History, today we examine the story of breeding farms in Antebellum America.
Laws and acts passed across the 18th century in America, steadily degraded and destroyed any personhood an enslaved individual had. This process most pointedly took the enslaved from ‘personhood’ to ‘thinghood’ – leaving all ‘rights’ belonging to the owner of the slave and not the person in slavery. As this ideology and culturizing took hold, the sale and purchasing of slaves became accepted with no objection from American society or its people.

10 Facts About Slave Breeding That Schools Failed To Teach You (Black Culture)

17 apr 2023
We all know the story of slavery – the transatlantic slave trade, forced labor, the inhumane treatment of men, women, and children, and the eventual abolition of the slave trade. But what many of us don’t know is that the abolition of the slave trade in the early 19th century led to the creation of a new and even more sinister aspect of slavery – see
*x farms and slave breeding farms.
The goal of these farms was simple – to produce more slaves. Slave owners realized that they could no longer import slaves from Africa, so they turned to breeding them like animals. They would carefully select which slaves would mate with each other based on their physical attributes, health, and even intelligence, in the hopes of producing the strongest and most profitable offspring.
Slave breeding farms were located throughout the southern United States, with some estimates suggesting that there were as many as 70 in operation at the height of their popularity. These farms were often run by wealthy plantation owners, who saw slave breeding as a lucrative business opportunity.
But the horrors of slave breeding farms did not stop there. In some cases, plantation owners would set up sex farms – where slaves, often young girls, were forced to engage in sexual activity with other slaves or with the plantation owners themselves. The offspring of these forced se*ual encounters were also seen as profitable commodities and were often sold off at auctions to the highest bidder.
The true extent of these practices is difficult to quantify, as records were often destroyed or deliberately hidden. But it is estimated that thousands of slaves were forced to participate in these breeding programs, resulting in countless atrocities and human rights violations.
In this video, we are going to reveal 10 of the most horrific facts of slave breeding and sex farms in the United States. These facts may be uncomfortable to hear, but it’s important to acknowledge the brutality and inhumanity of slavery in all its forms.

A Short History of Slavery
Script:
And now for a brief history of slavery.
Here’s the first thing you need to know.
Slavery was not “invented” by white people.
It did not start in 1619 when the first slaves came to Jamestown.
It existed before then.
It did not start in 1492 when Columbus discovered the New World.
In fact, when the intrepid explorer landed in the Bahamas, the native Taino
tribe hoped he could help them defeat their aggressive neighbors, the Caribs. The Caribs enslaved the Taino and, on occasion, served them for dinner.
Slavery existed in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
The word “slave” actually comes from the Slavs of Eastern Europe. Millions of them — all white by the way — were captured and enslaved by Muslims in the ninth century and later by the Ottoman Turks.
Slavery existed when the Roman Empire controlled the Mediterranean and most of Europe from the 1st through the 5th centuries.
Slavery existed when Alexander the Great conquered Persia in the 4th century BC. It was so common that Aristotle simply considered it “natural.” The slave/master model was just how the world operated in the great philosopher’s day.
Slavery existed during the time of the ancient Egyptians five thousand years ago.
As far back we can go in human history, we find slavery.
As renowned historian John Steele Gordon notes, from time immemorial, “slaves were a major item of commerce…As much as a third of the population of the ancient world was enslaved.”
Here’s the second thing you need to know.
White people were the first to formally put an end to slavery.
In 1833, Britain was the first country in the history of the world to pass a Slavery Abolition Act. They were quickly followed by France, who in 1848 abolished slavery in her many colonies. Then, of course, came the
Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. After centuries of human slavery, white men led the world in putting an end to the abhorrent practice.
That includes the 300,000 Union soldiers, overwhelmingly white, who died during the Civil War.
Am I saying that this makes white people better than anyone else?
Of course not.
My purpose here is to simply tell the truth, and the truth is that human history is complicated; no one, regardless of skin color, stands guiltless.
Yet today we are never told to consider the murderous Persian Empire or the cannibalism of indigenous tribes of North and South America, or the heinous actions under the imperialistic Muslim, Chinese, Mongol, or Japanese Empires, to name just a few.
Instead, we’re told that slavery is a white phenomenon.
Like all persistent lies, this lie spawns a bunch of other lies.
On social media I come across extraordinary depictions about how Africans lived liked pharaohs before Europeans came and laid waste to their paradise.
I wish any of this were true. But it’s not. It’s a fantasy.
The truth is that Africans were sold into slavery by other black Africans.
And in many cases, sold for items as trivial as gin and mirrors.
Whites didn’t go into the interior and round up the natives. They waited on the coast for their black partners to bring them black bodies.
The stark reality is that our lives had very little value to our ancestors.
Here’s the third thing you need to know.
If you think slavery is a relic of the past, you’re wrong.
There are some 700,000 slaves in Africa today. Right now. That’s the lowest estimate I could find. Other sources say there are many more.
For context, that’s almost twice as many slaves as were ever brought to the United States. Child soldiers, human trafficking, forced labor—these are the conditions that currently exist within the same sub-Saharan region where the transatlantic slave trade originated.
African bodies are being sold today like they were sold then—and no, they are not being purchased by any country of white men. In fact, slavery, by any traditional definition, is exclusively practiced today within nonwhite countries…

14 The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism
Live gestreamd op 10 sep. 2014
5 mei 2016
Why is it so important to revisit the history of slavery in America, nearly 150 years after it ended?
In The Half Has Never Been Told (Basic Books, Sept., 2014), historian Edward Baptist argues that slavery was at the heart of the development of early 19th-century capitalism. By 1850, American slaves were worth $1.3 billion, one-fifth of the nation’s wealth. And slavery not only enriched the South but also drove the industrial boom in the North, eventually leading to the modernization of the United States.
His book includes intimate slave narratives, plantation records, newspapers, and the words of politicians, entrepreneurs, and escaped slaves, presenting a powerful new interpretation of American history. Baptist’s extensive research and insights recognize the full legacy of the millions who suffered in bondage. It forces us to remember the violence at the root of supremacy, but it also reveals a culture that sustains America’s dreams of freedom.

15 Freedom and slavery: the birth of capitalism
30 jan. 2019
In this talk from the 2018 Revolution Festival, Josh Holroyd discusses the origins of the capitalist system, the violent and contradictory revolution it carried out across the world, and the implications these hold for the fight against capitalism today.
As Josh explains, the society in which we live is often presented as something eternal; a natural expression of human nature and common sense. But the reality could not be further from the truth.
Capitalism – a system based on competition and production for profit – has in fact existed for only a few hundred years. It is only a brief and unique episode in the history of humanity.
And far from being the organic product of human nature, the birth of the “free” market required the violent overthrow of the entire existing economic, social and political order. It brought with it the greatest wave of dispossession and enslavement the world has ever seen.
True freedom, therefore, can only be brought about by breaking with the anarchy of the capitalist market and introducing a socialist plan of production based on needs, not profits.

23 Human Zoos: America’s Forgotten History of Scientific Racism
17 feb. 2019
Human Zoos tells the shocking story of how thousands of indigenous peoples were put on public display in America in the early decades of the twentieth century.
“A racially charged story that will mesmerize you….” —Oregon Documentary Film Festival.
For more about the movie, additional information and clips be sure to visit the film’s website at https://humanzoos.org/. Often touted as “missing links” between man and apes, these native peoples were harassed and demeaned. Their public display was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the scientific community, and it was promoted uncritically by American’s leading newspapers. This award-winning documentary explores the heartbreaking story of what happened, shows how African-American ministers and other people of faith tried to push back, and reveals how some people today are still drawing on Social Darwinism in order to dehumanize others. The film also explores the tragic story of eugenics in America, the effort to breed human beings based on Darwinian principles.
Human Zoos was an official selection of the African World Documentary Film Festival and has won awards for Best Editing (Oregon Documentary Film Festival), Best in Show (Cinema WorldFest Awards) and Awards of Excellence from the Impact Docs Awards and the Hollywood Independent Documentary Awards.

In 1842CE, the British Consul General in Morocco wrote a letter to the Sultan to ask him if he had taken any measures to stop slavery or at least, slave trade. The sultan replied that he will not do anything about it because it has been the norm since the time of the sons of Adam and no sects of Islam are against it. Hence, he will not permit anything the Qur’an forbids and will not make unlawful anything that the Qur’an has allowed. In the Sultan’s reply, we see the simplest justification or at least, excuse, for almost 1300 years of slavery in the Islamic world.

56 New York’s History of Slavery
13 sep. 2015
New York has been for the most of in its history the largest, most diverse and economically ambitious city in America.
Anchored by Wall Street, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the hub of the global financial center. The city is home to the world’s two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, the New York Stock Exchange andNASDAQ.
But for more than 2 centuries New York was also a hub for America’s slave trade. Enslaved and free Africans were largely responsible for the construction of the early city, first by clearing land, then by building a fort, mills, bridges, houses, and even the first city hall.
The very name Wall Street is born of slavery, as they built a wall in 1653 to protect Dutch settlers from Indian raids.
Join us on this edition of Inside Out for a tour of Lower Manhattan to explore the often overlooked history of enslaved and free Africans in early New York. We’ll make stops at historic sites most tour guides and buses will never show you.

58 Digging Detroit: Episode16 – Slavery in Detroit
16 feb. 2016
418 abonneesDetroit has historically been seen as the last station on the Underground Railroad yet many of its residents including merchants, priests and illustrious citizens such as Brush and Macomb were slaveowners.
Digging Detroit meets Prof. Tiya Miles of the University of Michigan whose team of graduate and undergraduate students uncovered a history of the colonial city that few remember or care to admit.
But with the past comes inspiration from Elizabeth Dennison Forth, a former slave who became a wealthy businesswoman and landowner–whose homestead is now a parking lot. Prof. Miles takes her students on a tour of the former frontier town.
Topics also include:
– Assembling a team at U of M
– Painstaking research, translation and transcription
– Primary roles of slaves including concubines
– Loaning slaves
– Importance in addressing Detroit’s past as a slave-city.
59 Was the Civil War About Slavery?
What caused the Civil War? Did the North care about abolishing slavery? Did the South secede because of slavery? Or was it about something else entirely…perhaps states’ rights? Colonel Ty Seidule, Professor of History at the United States Military Academy at West Point, settles the debate.
60 he True History Of Britain’s Horrifying Role In Slavery | Britain’s Slave Trade | Timeline
19 jun 2017
The Old Corruption challenges the accepted version of the history of abolition, that the passive, suffering slaves were freed by benevolent white crusaders, revealing the corruption of the plantations owners, and how the inhuman treatment of African people was finally acknowledged.
This is the untold story of the greatest slaving nation in history. Up till now, Britain’s place in the history of slavery has been as the country that abolished the international slave trade.
Britain’s Slave Trade reveals the shameful truth behind this liberal facade, showing how the economic, social and cultural life of Britain would have been unrecognisable without slavery. Britain’s Slave Trade explains how a middling European power transformed itself into the ruler of the waves, tracing the impact this had on the British way of life and taking in the Industrial Revolution, the beginnings of Empire and the birth of modern racism along the way. It also unearths startling evidence showing how many families that think of themselves as ‘pure’ English stock are in fact descended from slave ancestors.
