Matt Walsh's "The Real History of Slavery" documentary is pretty solid...

It was released yesterday on The Daily Wire's YouTube page. He doesn't touch the whole history of slavery but he definitely goes in depth about how it wasn't strictly-speaking a problem or practice unique to America. He talks about the Kingdom of Dahomey, the Barbary Pirates, and more!

Slavery is like war.
It's a terrible thing that all human cultures have engaged in.

There was a kingdom of da homies?

A few points that stood out:
You were far better off being a slave in North America than anywhere on earth especially Africa.
White European nations were responsible for the abolition of slavery. Go white men!
The largest slaveowner in South Carolina at the time of the civil war was a black man who donated to the confederacy.
And the part where those ruthless people floated their canoes in the blood of murdered slaves. Yep, you don’t hear that in school.

I've watched similar videos. The mooslums were the biggest slavers in history. It's like they told white slavers:

The documentary didn't say he was the largest, just one of the largest. And what I really liked is how he was considered a respectable member of South Carolina society despite being a black man.
A bump for those who want to watch this on their Saturday morning.

Watched the show earlier this week, pretty good. Walsh says he is going to do a series of real history shows in an attempt to educate the young skulls full of mush who are not being taught real American history anymore.

Nah bruh, slavery only existed in America and every white dude owned about 500 of them. Half of our income should go to reparations!

I listened to the Hard Core History episodes on slavery and it’s insane how far back the practice went and how brutal it was in the med-east. If you listened to that how does this compare? I’ll add this to my list of things to watch the next two weeks.

Any reasonably informed person understands this^^^ but the public school system has taught 3-4 generations that the US is unique with regards to slavery. The leftist school system has taught generations of Americans that slavery built the US and it was white people who were capturing Africans for the global slave trade.

I'm fairly certain Dan Carlin's podcast goes into more depth than Matt Walsh does. His is a multi-hour podcast series, whereas Walsh is more focused on slavery from the last 300 years or so. The farthest back he goes is the 17th century with the Barbary Pirates raiding Ireland and other European countries to take whites back as slaves with them to North Africa.

Antebellum South could elevate a free Black man to the social status of a White man. They could also devalue a white man for what they deemed just reasons.
Also in the South, integration was real. Many slaves attended church with their masters, ate and slept in the same house. Most slave owners had less than 5 slaves and they worked side by side in the fields together. Not the master standing over them with a whip.
The image that the entire South was just sprawling plantations with hundreds of thousands of slaves was not the norm.

Yeah. I have to admit for a brief moment I thought Walsh was making a joke with the Dahomey tribe. Imagine a culture so brutal they sacrificed enough human bodies, bled them out and floated their king in a canoe floating on blood. Walsh said the captured Africans who ended up in America and other nations as slaves had a much better outcome than those who were used for blood sacrifices.

It is noted that after the slave revolts in Haiti, many of the freed Blacks said there were better off in bondage in the US than free in Haiti.

Indentured servitude was how my great, great, great, great .....grandfather arrived in the US in the late 1600's, he was a musician, was essentially kidnapped, put on a boat and ended up in the US as an indentured servant for several years.

As slavery is most often identified with the Civil War, historians often leave out some important facts about a large group of southerners who fought.
It is often written that the only (or main) participants were the leaders of the military, destitute whites doing the bidding of wealthy plantation owners to preserve slavery, and slaves who had to obey their masters. However, history seldom mentions the middle class farmers and tradesmen who owned no slaves, and the free blacks who fought alongside them.
Their motivations were very different than the historical narrative suggests but they suffered the same horrors of defeat and reconstruction as anyone else.
