The slave trade is indeed a heinous stain on humanity, but may I put in a word for the English sailors in 1808 after slavery was abolished in the UK, who intercepted these ships, one could smell them miles away, and freed the captives, often being murdered in the process. A court case in 1772 ruled that a slave in the UK could not be forcibly removed.
Yet I have not found one African in my family tree
I’ve always thought this who buys a load of really expensive commodities then treats them all like shit and damages them
It can’t be true generally I’m sure bad stuff happened but it doesn’t make sense cos I don’t think it’s true in general I’m sure it wasn’t great on board
But I reckon it’s a hoax built on a drawing ffs but people are stupid
Do Arabian slave trade next
Africans are still being sold in 2025 in markets, but you dont see ANYONE doing anything. All they talk about is reparations. Why isnt BLM going to Libya to rescue people?
Now realize slavery is still going on strong in Libya, Sudan, and other collapsed and war-torn countries. Today, right now.
all of the comments trying to justify this are sickening my god
Rival tribes ( black men) captured other ppl then eventually sold to white men.
It was the African who sold Africans to the Europeans and Americans. Rival tribes.
I have a genuine question, something seems off, im not saying this isn't what happened but im trying to understand. If they press together hundreds of people in a space so small they cant even lay down how did they feed them? How did they give them water? Even if we completely remove any kind of empathy from the equation we can assume that they wanted the prisoners to survive to sell them and profit, they were investing time and money in it, so why did they create the conditions for most of their ''cargo" to perish. How did they expect them to survive? I mean i would not expect a 5 star treatment but what's the point of fitting more people in the boat if by doing so you cause more of them to die? And especially water, people can go months without eating but only days without water, so they had to make sure every one of the hundreds prisoners would drink daily, how did they do it in those conditions? This and many other things i dont understand, i feel like this would work if the journey was a few days long, not months. I dont know man, something feels off.
