The last known slave ship | 60 Minutes Archive

The Clotilda was the last known slave ship to bring enslaved Africans to America in 1860. The burned ship was discovered in Alabama - not far from where many of the descendants live today. The stories of those enslaved Africans have been passed down for generations.

[@sunrise7ranch85]

@@AboutMyIssue01 Its a historical FACT that African slaves were willingly sold sold to the white salve traders by other Africans. They were enslaved by other Africans usually as a result of plunder after raids on rival tribes. It all comes down to human greed whether on the part of the Africans who raided and captured them or the Europeans who bought and then sold them. It was wrong for all parties responsible. Just don't try to frame this as a racial issue because Humans have been enslaving each other for millennia regardless of skin color.

Pray for on-going efforts today against human trafficking operations or any slavery ongoing anywhere in the world. Strong people, their decendents can be very proud of their resiliance. The Meaher's should give all land to the residents of AfricaTown and they need to remover their name from everywhere. That highway 🛣 was all deliberate and the industry etc all trying to erase the history and cover up. It's all sickening. I would love to see the Meaher family take action to make reparations by giving up land and wealth.

The English should be commended for ending slavery world wide. The Arab Muslims took more Africans as slaves than any other group did, they started the trade actually in 600AD and Europeans picked it up from them in the late 1400s. The English banned it in the early 1800s and enforced it world wide as a Empire. Some of the Arab states had to have their shores bombarded with cannon, like in Morocco, to scare their Sultan into freeing his black slaves.
