@@samanth. king James. Deuteronomy 28.the curses of the Israelites. Your ancestors got 390 years in slavery. 390 for Israel, and 10 years for judah. Your ancestors that your people want to connect with and call on were evil in the sight of the almighty god. This is called witchcraft. Christ is the only way. Not dead evil ancestors. Remember the Israelites was in bandage to the black Egyptians. So do not give praise your ancestors for the evil that they did. Otherwise you question what judgements of the almighty god and his works. And remember the black Hebrews put the black christ on the cross and rejected him. Ancestral whor ship is a sin, and calling them up and praising them is a sin.jah bless.

She met them as a child; they were very tall men who wore neck extending jewelry around their necks and called themselves Watusis. They were brought first to Jamaica to be broken in then smuggled to the United States to New Orleans during the Civil War then sent to work in Texas. It's a very interesting history indeed. Thank you.

True, most the slaves from this region went to the Arab countries. But it would appear that the trade was not very prevalent in the region.

@@joyuyoke4999 It makes me afraid. Did you know that every enslaved person who left Nigeria went through a spiritual ritual where he or she was placed under several curses? I think my paternal ancestors were Nigerians. Because the community where I come from in the Caribbean, some of the people have Nigerian names. I found this out by watching Nigerian movies. Yes, every black person who is of Nigerian descent should seek deliverance because he or she is cursed. At the slaves museum by the Atlantic Ocean in Lagos, there is a well. Seven Yoruba fetish priests met at the well and performed certain voodoo ritual over the water in the well. And every enslaved person had to drink the water from the well and pronounced a list of curses over themselves before leaving Nigeria. And the Igbo in the inner land would take the enslaved person to a shrine where the fetish priests would performed certain ritual over the enslaved person. They would also caused the enslaved person to sit in on a spiritual stone called "The Stone of Disorientation". This would make the enslaved person confused and lost all sense of direction. My friend, there are a lot of things about the slave trade that many people don't know. African Slavery was not just physical, but it was also spiritual. And it still exist in Nigeria today. I was watching a documentary on human trafficking where women had to go to the shrine and take oath where they had to placed curses on themselves if they don't pay back money or whatever...

The exact number of shipped and enslaved Africans was not centrally documented because several competing European companies were involved in the trade, legally and illegally (by European standards at that time).

So, how did you get these exact numbers?

That would be 36 million people taken. Given the fact the very next thing to happen to Africa was colonization, being short 36,000,000 people is going to make it hard to stop European colonists. And, during the century when all the continents populations were increasing, Africa's did not and eventually resulted in 20% few people for all tasks. Economies, societies and kingdoms all collapsed. I really hope Africa as a continent has learned a tough lesson about letting people come in and take your resources, human and non-human.

I think one interesting thing about the slave trade people don't really talk about. Is the intercolonial slave trade from South America through Central America the Caribbeans all the way up to North America. It's a big reason why even though not a lot of slave ships came from Nigeria directly a lot of them came from the Caribbean islands such as Barbados. African Americans might have the most diverse group of African DNA spread throughout the diaspora

I am American Indian/Native American. By the Chicaza & Choctaw Census, Tsalagi, Dawes Rolls. And Chicaza Freedmen, by Dawes Rolls. The Chicaza Freedmen in my family are historical descendants of West African enslaved people and indentured people and immigrants from Ireland, England, and Scotland. The Chicaza Freedmen, as opposed to the other Tribal Members of the day, were not largely descendants of Indigenous people from before 1492. I am proud to be their descendant as well, the issue is, we can trace their bloodline to Ireland & the U.K., but not which specific regions of West Africa they were taken from. I would like to know what their culture was before their ancestors were taken. They are of the adopted culture of my mother's people whom they had adopted. But I would like to know which parts of Africa our ancestors are derived by them. (Less than 0.1% of Afro descendants are American Indian Freedmen. Don't believe the Wabos, Black people are not Aboriginals, but Indian Freedmen are real.)

Anytime I see a video about slavery I feel sad. But what lifts up my spirit is that whoever enslaved our forefathers knew or might not know that they were enslaving the biblical israelites..those slave masters have played a major role in destroying the apple of God's eye who are the israelites..And you do know that the Almighty God is also a God of revenge. He never forgets.

[@ar123..._]

It seems as if the numbers are just floating up and down it all depends and who is giving the story sometimes the amount of slave taken is a lot larger than the figures on this video and other time some are even trying to make it even less I pray one day we can have a accurate account.

[@africantruth2539]

Anbessa roots, the numbers are very higher than what this video is showing. Danmark for instance had 100.000 slaves from Ghana.

Do you have any info (or could you point me in the right direction) on slaves transported to Europe, especially central or eastern Europe? Through DNA testing, I found that I have an ancestor from the 1700s, originally from Gambia/Guinea-Bissau. I was very surprised since my other ancestors had been Slavic serfs in a landlocked country since at least the 1600s &, most likely, way before that. Thank you for any help.

[@joannpasek7190]

@BrooklynBorn 83 Thank you so much! I've seen some of these paintings but they're either English or French. Would be very interested in these slaves' narratives but trying to find out more about slaves in the slavic countries. Only person I know of is Pushkin's great-grandfather, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, "a Russian military engineer, general-in-chief, and nobleman of sub-Saharan African origin" who was "kidnapped as a child by Ottomans, ... traded to Russia and presented as a gift to Peter the Great, where he was freed, adopted and raised in the Emperor's court household as his godson." (from Wikipedia)

Maybe someone would know the answer to my question. I recently did an ancestry test, and among other things Maasai came up in my ancestry. As an ADOS on my Fathers side (my Mama is Korean) how does that happen, because I thought most if not all our ancestors came from the areas you just listed. Please enlighten me because I am so curious and I haven't been able to find answers...

[@allaboutafrica6274]

There were small amounts that came from East Africa as well to the Americas such as Maasai, Makua from Mozambique, and Sudan, Tanzania, etc.. but a lot of those slaves from East Africa went to places such as India. But I'll have to look more into that. And did you find out you were Maasai through African Ancestry, 23andme or Ancestry DNA or another company?

[@omggiiirl2077]

@@allaboutafrica6274 thank you for replying, I tested through myheritage.com. One thing i did find peculiar is i didn't find my Polynesian ancestry anywhere or my South Indian ancestry anywhere either, my Polynesian is on my Fathers Mothers bloodline, while my indian ancestry is also in that line and on my Mothers Fathers blood line and that ancestor is well documented, I mean as well as can be for that time. I also found a big clue as to what one port of entry might have been for some of my African ancestors because I only had one European area show up. That was Baltic. And those people I found came to the USA very early even before there was a USA. And the amount is very little meaning my family on one side picked it up a long time ago maybe around the time the Native was mixed in.

[@diouranke]

Some ethnic groups have migrated over centuries ,also possibly maybe some west African group is closely related to the Masaai also, there r a few nilotic ethnic groups in west Africa today with nilotic admixture, like the Wolof, n Sara

[@omggiiirl2077]

@@diouranke thank you for answering me!

[@mlungisiwright]

You took My heritage which is not the best test. All humans are related so even if you are not directly descended from a certain group. If all they have in their database is a proxy that is what you will get. Or sometimes certain combos of DNA can be mistaken for something else. Maasai by themselves are a mixture of a group called Nilotes and Cushites. There is a remote possibility you descend from a people related to Nilotes like the Songhai. Or you could have Hausa admixture.who knows but Maasai is unlikely.

I believe that people who came here *against their will* and joined a Native American Tribe must have been predestined by the Benevolent Ones to have become part of us.

But even so, I am trying to find out which African cultures they were taken from over 500 years ago.
