The Middle Passage & Black Latin America | Documentary Short

Originally posted on the Ethhno Filmmaker's KZbin channel. Shared with permission. / ethnofilmmakers
------
The Middle Passage and Black Latin America is a documentary short on the history of the Transatlantic Slave trade, how it was started, developed, and the importance of the Spanish Empire to the trade. In this video, we cover the role of the Catholic Church and the importance of certain Papal Bulls, the Asiento Charter, the Encomienda System of forced slavery upon Indigenous peoples, the role of Charles V as King of Spain, and the opening of the Atlantic Slave trade on a massive scale. This is followed by the Middle Passage journey of enslaved Africans, its survivors, and their dispersion throughout the viceroyalties of the Spanish Empire in the Americas. Also, it includes the amalgamation, miscegenation, and the influence of enslaved Africans on the societies in which they were enslaved and how they were able to survive. This video is strictly for educational purposes.

The Spanish Empire had a vital role in the slave trade from Africa to the Americas through the Catholic Church, very interesting fact that almost nobody wants to talk about in history, regardless of the fact that the slave trade was driven by money power or religion, it's a crime against humanity and the ultimate sin, that's my truth as a African American man

[@philcooper9225]

That's because nobody brings up the African slave trade to talk about Africans or slaves - they only care about demonizing Americans. It's a topic of sedition. All people groups have been enslaved and have enslaved others - especially Africans.

I think this piece leaves out the importance of the Arab slave trade who captured many thousands of Africans, treated them in horrific ways, and the Africans themselves who were actively complicit in selling them. Let's not forget that slavery took place all over the world. It was "normal" behavior for thousands of years. The middle passage was able to take place due to the advancement of maritime technology enabling ships to make the trek. Race entered the picture in America as a means to keep slaves subjugated.

This is an excellent presentation. Nation states have taken great lengths to cover up their involvement in this evil trade, erasing all references they can from official histories taught in their schools. In recent years a greater awareness has grown but much more needs to be done. The African Slave Trade has to be the greatest evil perpetrated by any group of human beings on fellow human beings - the sheer numbers of people involved and that it occurred over centuries makes so difficult to fully comprehend. The Holocaust took place over a few short years. Both of these events are an indelible stain on the story of human beings on earth. The impact is of course still being felt today and sadly it looks like that will continue for some time to come. Truly heartbreaking.

Excellent video. Just to add some information related to the south american independences. There was two succesfull waves of independence. The south american (General San Martin in Argentina / Chile / Peru -1st Independence-) Then Bolivar and Sucre (sucre was involved with Bolivar army). If you take a look at San Martin lifestyle, he was called "Cholito" (Meaning = Mestio / Mulato) because he was not a 100% caucassian. There is a controversial between origins roots and lifestyle of Simon Bolivar vs Jose de San Martin. Even national heroes in Argentina such as "Manuel Belgrano" became from a family who was involved in an enterprise of "slaves trading", but they did many things against slavery (not only africans, even local aborigens ... another kind of slavery ... thru the evengelization of catholic churc, using aborigens workforce for agriculture mostly). Both (African and Aborigens) where involved into the latin america history, and played an important role in many events, such as England invasion in Rio de la Plata in 1806 and 1807. Where the "indios" (Aborigens) were enrolled, even africans (slaves during these years), creolles and mestizos too, English army was repealed dropping hot oil from balconies to fry them while marching on the streets. If you find information about San Martin (Mostly in Peru) he abolished Slavery in 1820, and removed Aborigen's extra taxes, then Bolivar rolled back these laws. Yes aborigens paid an extra tax because their origins, they were "free" (between quotes), but they had to pay extra for being free. Hope it woulrd be useful for you guys!. Nice video.

I went on a tour in New Orleans and was surprised by the way the Catholic church had a major part in slavery all in the name of Jesus. Every town or city is referred to as a Parish. The Saints. The Ain't. SMH.

Seems like the entire world owes the blacks reparations!

[@gablespark173]

Just as the Black family and Black wealth was affected for generations- this cannot be an overnight approach. Morally or financially. Financially impossible. The Reparations system must be built in a way that counters the previous goal. There are about 42 million African American (black people born in america, or thier ancestors were slaves brought here). The bulk of African Americans are descendants of Black slaves in america. Apparently, according to several sources, every Black american is owed $350k. That is more than 10 Trillion dollars, and as I said earlier, not possible to do overnight. Neither would we want to. This has to be set up so our generations to come will benefit from this long overdue debt. Due to the fact that there is just realistically less land than there was 400+ years ago, we will settle for 1 acre. However, as far as payments go, every qualified Black American, would receive monthly payments of $3k. As far as his lineage is involved, for example, since we are approaching this from a generational aspect, his children would not begin receiving payments until the age of 18. Same for their children and so on- for 100 years. For example, if I am 30 with 1 child. If the Reparations Bill was passed tomorrow, I would start getting my monthly payments until I am deceased. My child would receive payments once they turn 18. Now lets say my child has a child at 20. Once their child (my grandchild) is 18, they would then also receive monthly payments. Their parents, nor my payments are affected by this. Neither are their children and so forth. Since my child was 18 when they received benefits, and they were only 2 when I was 30, that would mean I am in my late to early 50s. I have so much more life and many more years in me. In my lifetime alone, I would possibly and most likely live to see at least 2-4 generations impacted by this Reparations bill. 100 years?? Thats possibly 10 generations impacted by this bill. I think we can agree that more far more than 10 generations were impacted and robbed of exactly what the Declaration of Independence and Constitution promises. Now the question is, how do we get the money to do this? And who do we sue? The states individually? Maybe for some. For others, it would have to be on a federal level. This can happen. This will happen and i believe this will happen before I leave this earth.

I am Afro-Colombian. This documentary was interesting and beautifully done. There are some inaccuracies with regards to royal Spanish history I think, and I'm not sure about the less harsh nature of South American chattel slavery. Even if it was so, the program fails to see the trade off. This trade off being a deeper and more perpetual poverty, lack of education and access, and a perhaps 30 year retardation of advancement for the Afro-Latino. Especially in Colombia. Nonetheless, thank you for this. I felt my blood bubble and percolate.

[@Camilia5615]

Thank you for speaking on this. We need to be fully transparent with history and not make it easier or skew it to one narrative as favorable. I was also disappointed by these same points...

[@jaguarprophett]

I agree that African descendants in South America suffer a more "perpetual poverty, lack of education and access, and 30-year retardation of advancement for Afro-Latinos." Due to the length of the doc, it was difficult to get all of this in one documentary short. However, I have lived in South America for 15 years and can verify your point of view. Also, one must remember that most Latin American governments and privileged elite classes possess an "old regime" ( European colonial empires of yesteryear - in this case, the Spanish and Portuguese) "fear" that if they educate the masses, give them opportunities to prosper, they will lose control of them. Thank you for viewing the doc and your comments.

The aspect that really blows my mind is this; why would you travel thousands of miles of ravaging sea voyage, along with the threat of slave rebellion, mutiny and piracy to a country knowing nothing of their internal customs or culture, engage in war on foreign soil to acquire slave cargo, when you can just enslave the indigenous inhabitants who are already there in the land... Wouldn't that be more economical? This story about this middle passage is extremely questionable to me.😐
