@Eber Yahuan Interesting you would say that. I would say he speaks from a perspective of diligent study and desire to share what he has learned. Just because European history is in general white people does not make it any less actual history. King James for instance was a white man no matter how hard some would push the lie that he was black. They carry these myths so far as to believe all Europe was black and not white in general. Seeking truth is virtuous, where promoting lies is vile and wicked. Home Town History does a good job to balance what he has learned and choosing not to blindly believe in lies.

What makes you think whites hate you? I doubt even the Africans who attacked and raided your ancestors' village hated them. The cold, hard truth is a stronger tribe attacked a weaker tribe. The loser became the slaves of the stronger. You can not divest the responsibility of slavery from those that did the actual warfare and blame shift it onto other. The same thing happened in Asian Chinese enslaving Chinese. The American tribes did the same thing by attacking each other. There is not an inhabited continent on earth that this same pattern was not repeated for at least 6000 years of recorded history. We can't even guess how many thousands of years before that it had happened. Do you know there was a people in the America's that predate the current tribes? They were exterminated, either by disease or through warfare. Until only the modern American tribes survived. How did 3 ships of Spanish defeat the aztec nation? Because all the other tribes joined them to defeat the Aztec. They where tired of being enslaved and butchered by them. Today slavery continues in Africa. Yet you hear little to nothing of it.

I’m African and unfortunately, the vast majority of us just don’t understand or know what happened to our brothers, sisters, cousins, parents when they got on those ships towards the new world. It’s movie like this that’s important to teach a valuable lesson that our African chiefs were wrong, slavemasters were wrong, the institution of slavery was wrong, and the Europeans powers that allow slavery to exist were wrong! Let’s be clear on these facts that 99% of Africans today had nothing to do with the slave trade and let’s be clear that the vast majority of white people had nothing to do with slavery. The problem that exist as of 2021 is the fact that ethnocentrism, racism, tribalism, prejudices, discrimination and hate that’s part of human nature, must be minimized by one towards other people, for there are people out there who have fallen victims to these human ills...making it difficult for them to put ENOUGH bread and butter on the table for them and their family members. The great news here is that we all have the power as individuals to change the world around us, to treat the next person with empathy --to treat others the way you will want to be treated, regardless of your social-economic status . In a nutshell, be kind and treat others with decency, while giving other people an opportunity to climb the economic ladder of life, in today’s society. Thank you.

Thank you for this piece. As the narrator rightly said "context is important" As a Yoruba man (now living in Canada), I felt the vibe (and some sort of resentment) from our African American folks that African sold them to slavery. I agree totally with the narrator that this is a fallacy. Growing up in Awe Town near Oyo Town (of the old Oyo Kingdom), I had the opportunity to learn from my Dad , his friends and some town elders. War was a way of life in the old Oyo Kingdom. There were stories told about wars such as Oyo-Dahomey war, Oyo -Fulani war, Oyo and Igbo war and many more. These wars like all wars always came with casualties and slaves . This is why in Yoruba language there is an expression of triumph like "mo ko eru mo keru wa" - meaning: I came back (from war) with slaves and with spoils. The conquered town forced to be subservient to the Alaafin of Oyo - The King of the Oyo kingdom. Please note that in the old Oyo kingdomw were so many "lands" or smaller Kingdoms such as The Ijeshas, the Egbas, The Ijebus, Ibariba and many others. The Alaafin (Oba - king ) of the Oyo Kingdom, would always asked for "Isakole" (Some form of tax or levy that smaller hamlets or town must pay to the Oyo kingdom in return for protection of the Yoruba Warriors). Failure to submit "Isakole" to the Alaafin may bring strong reprisal. The towns were raided (usually led by The Bashorun (the general of the army) or Are Ona Kakanfo (The supreme General). Women were captured to become wives of the rulers or soldiers. Many other captives became slaves to the Oyo kingdom. I must add that in the then Oyo Kingdom there were two types of slavery; those captured as the spoil of war and those used as indemnity for an action, loan or other commitment. The latter is called ERU (Slave) and the latter is called IWOFA (bond servant). The Bond servant typical had a term of service to give before being released back to their community. The slave became the permanent property of the captor. Before the white men came to west Africa, the then Iyalode (Female high chief) of Oyo Kingdom Efunsetan Aniwura had many slaves of her own. She was a very powerful woman such that she did as she pleased to her slaves. Many of her slaves were executed by her if she got any hint of dissent. Many of the slaves were exchanged with the white people as transactions in exchange for articles such as Mirrors or gun powder. At other times the white men exploited the communal lifestyle and the hospitality of the yoruba people in deceiving them about their real intentions. They will obtain people in the community as workers before enslaving them. In many cases there were many Obas (Kings) that stood up to the white men and fought them. I hope this adds a little perspective to what was going on at least in the Yoruba Kingdom before the trans Atlantic slave trade took root in Africa. I though this will help my African American or African Canadian folks about a piece of their history. I believe we can help each other understand the depth of our history. Growing up in Africa and now living in North America, I can tell you with a high degree of confidence that there is no history and culture as rich as that of Africa. Be proud!

In Ghana, the akans fought wars to acquire land and expand their kingdom and superiority. IF one ethnic group conquered another group, they would automatically merge into ONE group/ THAT IS NOT SLAVERY. This happens all over the world in Europe and even in THE BIBLE! However, these battles lasted for years. British other Europeans took advantage of this situation by selling ammunition, making alliances with particular ethnic groups, and capturing war captives, which will then become SLAVES. FOR THAT REASON, MANY OF Akan WAR CAPTIVES ENDED UP IN JAMAICA AND SURINAME. AKAN SLAVES WERE NORMALLY REFERRED by the name Coromantee or MAROONS (king Cudjoe, Queen Nanny). In 1811 and 1814, the Ashanti king knows as Nana Osei Tutu Kwame Asibe Bonsu, waged war against the Fante, where he mentioned that he could not make war to catch slaves; in the bush, it would be like thief which his ancestors never did so !!! (Dupuis 1824, p.163)! Again, akan KINGS END UP BECOMING SLAVES SUCH AS KING TAKYI! Takyi was a Fanti king from Gold Coast. He was captured during the Kommender Wars & sold off into slavery in Jamaica!! Are you aware that European slave traders (EDWARD LONG) in the 18th century proposed a bill to BAN the importation of Akan SLAVES? This is because Ghanaians/Akan (Ashanti) slaves were labelled as rebellious, making it difficult for the Europeans to manage them as slaves. After all, they will always run away into the deep forests to build their own communities. For example, look at what the Akan/Marrons people (Ashanti/Fanti) did in Jamaica and Suriname. They will run away to build their own distinctive communities, and they were able to preserve some AKAN words, Culture known as kromannti!

My grandfather, who is from Alabama and who graduated from Tuskegee Institue in 1920 was a follower of Marcus Garvey. The first African I knew about when I was a very young girl was Hannibal. They made a movie about Hannibal and I was so excited to go and see it. I was stunned when Victor Mature played in the movie but then thought, maybe he was really an African. Later, in my teen years, we moved to the Los Angeles area and I met a man who was interested in Pan Africanism and ended up in the organization called US. We studied African cultures, (one language-Swahili) and I learned about several revolutionaries. I prayed every night as a child for the souls of Patrice Lumumba and others along with American martyrs. I am so proud to pass these teachings and knowledge onto my children and grandchildren twice a year at Passover and Chanukkah. Two North African holidays that celebrate freedom.

So far all I've found, like my other enslaved ancestor's, is his height, weight, skin colour and whom he was sold to. It breaks my heart to think that as I try to remember him for the undoubtedly amazing warrior that he was, all I can seem to find is his evidence of dehumanisation. There needs to be a system in place so that we, as the PROUD descendants of African peoples, not property, can give our ancestors the illumination and voice they always sought to have. We are evidence of freedom and they live on free through us, but it breaks my heart to know I can't find more about him.

I love your content. Africans did sell others into slavery, but so did Europeans (Romans sold Greeks, Caucasians, Gauls and other European ethnicities). That's how it was back then. Often African nations didn't know what was going on tee the New World. Slavery in the ancient world was different from what happened in the Americas. That was just abuse.

To add to what you posted, I will add this from Ana Hinderer's 1800s account: "The chiefs have extensive farms, which are cultivated by their slaves, whom they sometimes number by hundreds, but who are generally treated with kindness, and often possess little plots of ground adjoining their master’s property, on which they work when the comparatively light day’s task is done. Thus in course of time many are enabled to redeem themselves. Others of the slaves are employed by their masters in trading, and they are so implicitly trusted, that they are sent out on expeditions which involve an absence of several months at atime, and return when their commission has been fulfilled. Others, again, are “war-boys,” on whose ready service the chiefs can rely in any of their schemes of pillage or kidnapping." Makes me wonder if "slave" is even the correct term for what was going on here.

The word "slave" has meant many different things to different cultures throughout history. The common thing is the loss of ones freedom. In the middle east at one point in time a slave to a high class family was seen in a much higher regard than a Freeman of lower upbringing. The European idea of slavery in my opinion seems to have come from how Roman's treated/used slaves.

@T DW Possession is part of what chattel slavery was, when speaking of societies without jails and prisons you might have to reevaluate your thinking. Service to another was used in a number of ways and for set times, no chains, no whips, no taking away a person's identity and declaring them subhuman, or less. There is plenty of documentation out there that can give you more information. I am referring to the period before the European invasions, and even though the Arabs did also, their enslavement was of a different hue, although they did possess their captives

One thing we should also talk more forcefully about is that the warfare and rivalry between African kingdoms wasn't perpetuated in the Americas either. Our ancestors squashed their beefs and united as one people. That could have VERY easily gone the other way. That is a POWERFUL story unto itself. In the example you described of the Yoruba and Fon peoples, their stories in the diaspora are inspirational. In Cuba for example, there is a LONG and complex history of interaction between Santeria/Lukumi (Yoruba religion as preserved in Cuba) and Arara (Fon religion as practiced in Cuba). There are many "Orishas" and associated practices in the Lukumi pantheon that began as Foduces (Vodous) in Arara. There's an aspect of Esu/Elegba called Afra that accompanies Babalu Aye. Afra was originally a Fodu. Even in the worship of Babalu Aye himself, it's common for him to be referred to a Sakpata or Asojano, which are originally Fon names for his equivalent in their pantheon. There are many Arara origin songs that are sung in Lukumi practice. To me, that is one of the most poignant stories of ethnic conflict resolution and religious diplomacy in world history.

We were also told (my home "schooling") about the "slave raiders" and yes as youngsters the thought was "our own people put us through this?" Now with the clarity of this video, what are we to think? We didn't know better, we were also fighting each other and making slaves of the captured, the slave owners became enslaved themselves, alls fair in love and war.... What do the people of the African diaspora do with this information? To this day we fight against each other over foolishness. To this day we're very tribal. Knowledge IS power but ....

This book is in dutch, but her book " the cost of sugar has been translated to English. This got me to thinking did they use the same tactics to trick Africans to get on those boats and once on it, the chains got put on them?

This was an amazing video which I really love. I also want to add the little excerpt I have from an account of an English traveler who has a book about his travels published in 1829 and references the Oyo king and the Dahomey. I'm trying to bring you into that early 1800s meeting in a place now known as Old-Oyo which no longer exists: "In the evening we had a visit from the king , to thank me for the presents I had given him, and again to assure me of being welcome; said that he wanted nothing, unless it was something that would speedily cause the submission of the rebels {added by me: probably those with the Fulani}. He said that he had sent to his friend the king of Benin for troops to assist him in the war {added by me: against the Fulani}. He added that the customary fetes or amusements would begin in about two months, and he would be very glad if I would stay and see them; that he dressed now as a common man, but after that, I should see him robed as a king. I told him I must go on early, to get to Bornou before the rains. Mr. Houtson took this opportunity of observing to him that he had been at the customs in Dahomey, and inquired if the king of Yourriba put to death such a number of people at his customs as at those of Dahomey. He shook his head, shrugged up his shoulders, and exclaimed “No, no - no king of Yourriba could sacrifice human beings; and that if he so commanded, the king of Dahomey must also desist from that practice; that he must obey him.”" -- Journal of a Second Expedition into the Interior of Africa from the Bight of Benin to Soccatoo by Hugh Clapperton.... So yes, the Oyo king was over Dahomey, but he was also a person that represented a higher moral way within his kingdom, at least if everybody here was being honest
@seismicvertigo3454 жыл бұрын
Furthermore, one thing I can extrapolate here is that prior to the Fulani's attacking the Yorubas, the Yoruba king would go to Dahomey ceremonies even though the Dahomey had become a tributary kingdom. They were on cordial terms of at least this nature. Once the Fulani's destroyed the Yoruba capital, it seems the Dahomey took that opportunity to fight off their tributary status to the Yoruba kingdom and war ensued.

Unfortunately, many felt rejected by continental West Africans. Edit: I also want to add that this was a two part series. There was the African side and the other African-diaspora side. Many West Africans (in the grapevine video) seemed to feel a “rift” between them and African Americans. The African Americans, however, did not really feel a rift. They felt like they were seeking acceptance and being rejected.

I am From Fiji and growing up we were told by our grandparents that we came from a place near a Great Lake Tanganiika while leaving Egypt.Its crazy that our ancestors were not writers but singers and most of our history is in songs and they would sing about Egypt and Africa etc as if they knew the place all to well & up until now it’s one thing I Long for,to know my origin and the roots of my people who are now Called Fijians in the South Pacific

Thank you for making a subject so complex easy to understand. Thank you for doing the research. I love the clearer picture you paint for us of what our ancestors went through. Explanations about the Transatlantic slave trade are very vague and surfacy, never providing a clear picture of the politics and logistics. But your work does. I truly appreciate your work. I will be Patreoning soon.

This is a great summary of what actually happened.Part of my family is from Abeokuta a Yoruba nation that fought the Oyo empire against unwarranted tariffs and resources and became independent and claimed there own sovereign state.Unfortunately the people from Abeokuta became marginalized again during colonization.History is very important helps to explain a lot.Thanks for sharing

Have you studied the role of Islam in all this? Mohammed had slaves and the islamised African groups seem to have been extremely prominent in all aspects of slave trading. The castration of African men being traded East is a horrific aspect often overlooked.

It was so terrible. The Yoruba wars in 1800s lasted for 73 years beginning from the 1820s to 1880s. Wars instigated by Europeans and wealthy merchants by the coast supplying guns to jihadist and local militants looking for riches. That and the Dahomey wars fuelled the large population of Yoruba slavery victims.

@@seismicvertigo345 That's my conclusion based on 20 years of research, The Pope sanction all Christian nations to participate. Greeks and Rome stayed top side northern Afriuka, Rome attempted to try Kush/Nubia but was made a offer Rome could not refuse (leave them alone or risk total elimination) Arabs have been invading Afriuka since Hyksos "shepherd kings" in 15th dynasty.

I'm glad I came across this. Cause of course with the recent Nick Cannon drama and other recent events, people of European decent first argument is always "well Africans sold Africans ". It was always a dum argument to justify 1 evil doing to another. But I also knew it had to be the fear of becoming enslaved themselves. But this video was deeper and more educational than I could've ever explained it. Thanks for the info.

They did it for wealth and power not out of fear. They traded in goods and guns. Slaves were war captors. They were warriors not fearful victims. They made power moves in the best interest of their tribes.
