@untoldstoriesofhistory: "Africans sold Africans to slave traders." It's true, and it's nowhere near the whole story. A Kongo king who wrote more than 20 letters begging Portugal to stop. A queen who fought them for nearly 40 years. And the reason the Atlantic trade was unlike anything before it. #historytok #africanhistory #BlackHistory #learnontiktok #History
The whole "Africans sold Africans" is so interesting to me bc it paints Africa as a monolith with a singular culture. It's like trivially referring to all wars in Europe as "Europeans battling Europeans"

Chattel slavery, is a different type of slavery. We talk about descendants breeding like horses breeding farms experiments hangings torcher. You talking about logistics and all technology and shit not touching on American slavery, chattel slavery, who was brought from Africa had long passed.

I love responding to this with Europeans fought other Europeans in WW2, since they love simplifying things so much. 💀

Can we break down slavery vs chattel slavery… with the incorporation of race?

I took a course in undergrad titled West Africa and the Diaspora. It was eye-opening to a lot of the people in the class.

Secondly, this take doesn’t hit on the fact that slavery looked different as there were typically prisoners of war and treated as indentured servitude that wasn’t passed down to descendants. It would be nice to add the framework of how it worked and how they were treated and the diff from what it became in America.

My Fiance is black , we did her ancestry, she’s related to an English family that can trace their lineage back to the 1500’s . It’s really insane , she’s also half cousins with a guy that defended the Alamo and a union general . We also found a run away slave ad that was posted in 1840 with one of her grandfathers that escaped from the Egypt plantation in NC

Great explanation. I’ve always looked at it as the elite issue than an African one. The elite sold out their people for more power and wealth as they usually do

I’m West Indian x East African so both sides of my family were involved in 2 completely separate slave trades, that’s so crazy to me!
