Am from Africa living in US. I could imagine the hardships those black Americans have been facing since that slavery time. I might be wrong but I feel like the only way we could break is through education. Let’s value ourself. Let’s be determined and disciplined enough to be a better person. As I told you i am from Africa. I haven’t been through the way the Africa American gone through. But I have one and one goal when I move o USA. To be better than I was before. I had no money, no family. But I had that big dream, to go to school be better than anyone around me/ black or white. Now I work with white people getting paid a decent amount of salary and living my best life. Long story short, change starts from us/ individual change is important. Regardless of the hardship, discrimination and all that still your dream is valuable! Dream big! Avoid that drug addiction life. Go to school, never quit and go get your dream life.

Many of these pictures don’t depict American slaves at all… many were obviously taken decades after slavery ended based on their clothing, or are pictures of Africans in colonial British Africa (1:51). Some are of wealthy free black families and many others are of sharecroppers. For example, 2:35 is “Dr. George and Mary Turfley and family, c. 1900 George Turfley, the first registered African-American physician in Allegheny County.” The video is filled with misinformation and not a single image is cited.

+Gary Daniel Stop saying "many". Because I know about world history and how various people in various civilizations of various stripes have known pain. This video is not focused on MANY. It's focused on a specific group so stop using stupid reflection and focus ON THE SUBJECT MATTER. Don't talk to me about the Barbary Slave TRade, about Roman slavery, about any of the millions of things I already know about. Because it has nothing to do with the video. *Stop deflecting.* The vidoe explicitly states these are *slave families*--which were composed of the actual slaves and the families that owned them. Not all were American since obviously African slavery existed throughout the Americas, in the Caribbean and Latin America and Europe historically. I'm generally curious to know what would motivate you to downplay slavery personally? What is your agenda exactly? Do you dislike people of colour that badly that you'd take the past from them? Do you honestly believe black people magically showed up on the western hemisphere, and suddenly just...exist today? Lol. That they had it so wonderful and grand across the board? Put it this way: even your most succesful black person in the 17th/18th/19th/early 20th centuy in America or western society in general was still, in many ways, limited, and pushed down due to the social and overall poltiical structure of society. And you know, racism/prejudice. That was fact. I'm not talking about today. You cna spew any kind of nonsense you want to about the present, but in the historical past, being black was not such a good position to have for obvious reasons. So it's not an 'over-simplication'. It's fact. Do you want cited proof of this? And posing for pictures properly was customary for the time. It does not indicate at all the actual suffering they went through. People looked cozy and comfortable for the cameras, that was it. The reality of slavery is well documented, not just by former slaves themselves but whites who witnessed it (and who practiced it within their families). So stop this already. Stop trying to 'redeem' slavery when history disagrees with you.

I think a number of these photos don't depict slaves but servants, and others are clearly portraits of free black families. Certain photos appear to have been taken after the civil war.

There are some that may very well depict black people as slaves, of course, but not all of them do, IMO.

[@priusgame1178]

@@spongeboob8046 funny thing is I've said the dark skin comment to my good brotha and sista friends in person and they didn't seem to say anything. Then I've said it to more brothas and sista strangers and they didn't seem to say anything about it. As for pointing out true beauty of women in a video of slavery you are just being negative nancy about things. I pointed out the true beauty of the very reason they were looked down on. It is not like i pointed out parts of their body to drool over. I feel sorry for you if people compliment you and you don't receive it the way it was intended to be.

for those saying these people were “only servants”, take a look at the field hands at 1:46 and come back to me

@George Washington Sharecropping started in the 1870s to the 1950s & exploited Former slaves and poor white farmers. They were trapped in a new system of economic exploitation! Large landowners took advantage of them. Majority of Sharecroppers stayed in debt to the lands owner because crops would fail for different reasons. It was a vicious cycle of control & poverty just to try & put a little food on the table.

[@AA-ek5kz]

@George Washington spoken like the moronic savage you are, it is in your nature to deny your ancestors savagery to mankind but know this for sure, the sins of the past is past down to your own children.

Woow ..too much pain in my heart on seeing these pics

[@ElainaWilliams994]

What's with the photo of the two white men with guns and the black woman sitting in the middle???

[@rosestewart1606]

Elaina Williams I wondered about that one too. It took me a while to find it. The photo was taken in 1862 and the two men had escorted her from Kentucky, where she had escaped slavery, to Ohio. She was just a teenager. Before leaving her at their friend's home, they took that picture together.

[@ElainaWilliams994]

Thanks,..very interesting. Looking at the photo again, I would imagine those men felt that they were bad ass radicals for what they were doing at the time, hence the pose. The woman looks amazingly calm.

[@rosestewart1606]

Elaina Williams They probably did. She could be exhausted...or scared. She was still young and she was on her own except for the strangers who were helping her.

[@ElainaWilliams994]

I agree...I'm sure the journey was very frightening for those who suddenly had to rely on strangers. I can only imagine the transition. I admire their endurance.

[@Ac-rf9et]

Elaina Williams they were executed

Theres a great amount of sadness and exhaustion in all of their faces

P. G. Are you feeling out of place just because their white and you're black or are they doing something to make you feel that way?

[@rachaelnwaoha3543]

Girl, I know you didn’t compare you being legally employed with a good paying job, to your ancestors being worked to death by forced with no compensation. Your comment is 5yrs old, but you still need to take this down! 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

[@jojobean9260]

Why would think that way lol that's like Irish people thinking abt the people who died in the famine lol we don't because we live in the past or need self pity

[@Ian-dn6ld]

Not every slave was badly treated. In fact a quite a few slave owners made sure overseers and themselves treated the slaves with a type of dignity and care for a number of reasons. Some being that they themselves saw the humanity, while others knew at the same time that if you weren't kind, you were raising the risk of a rebellion. Either way, people who in the recent past weren't even considered "white" ie. French-Americans, German-Americans, etc. (economic status was the determiner of who was respected more than genetic origins during the Antebellum years), were the ones to lead the abolitionist movements. Sure, there were thousands who were mistreated, but it should be dually noted that not every slave was maltreated by everyone for a number of reasons. Not to mention even that another common idea that is found through diary and archival reading is that many people in the US were under the impression that they were doing the Africans a favor by introducing them to western culture and civilization over tribal "barbaric" ways, hence why some are shown dressed up and in upscale places. Many thought it was a favor. Some became important members of the family too. Nothing in the past was so cookie cutter perfectly terrible the way school history books would have it. You might find comfort in knowing that post antebellum years, most neighborhoods in the south were much more mixed for decades after the Proclamation was signed until the idea of segregation came about when the first people to establish the meaning of "white" as an anglo-saxon (british english-American ethnic) protestant who spoke only english came to power through a series of marketing tactics that praised the ways of the older America before all of the immigrants of the 1800s had shown up and had begun to change the culture of the US from the sheer numbers. The south initially and heavily was against segregation, yet a group of light-skinned elitists from the Carolinas as well as the democratic party at the time pushed these and were those to found the Jim Crow laws even decades after integration of previous slaves had begun and had been in play with peace. Sure there were still moments of tragic acts of violence to slow integration or to attempt to reverse it, but by the time reversal had been achieved through these marketing techniques, even anyone who didn't speak english and lose their traditions that made them seem less "American (british english-American)", light-skinned, dark skinned, and pale-skinned, was in danger of having crosses set on fire on their yards.

[@Ian-dn6ld]

@Linda Lackey So what about modern babysitters? Or nannies? There were laws enacted to make sure that wages were still given out even if some were only given horrendously small amounts. You have to study the social culture of the south too at the time. Even the notion of segregation in all facets was against the southern preserved value of family among other reasons which caused a lot of push-back especially in the South. There is so much stuff we're not taught about in schools that could change our perception of a lot of things that wouldn't exactly continue this divide that you just showed a manifestation of.

[@WideAwake-bl7gw]
