Here are the Facts about slavery White students are never allowed to know:
1 - Slavery was deeply embedded in African societies throughout history. Whites purchased ENSLAVED Africans from African coastal kingdoms, which had captured Blacks from the interior through wars and raids.
1.2 - African elites and tribes, such as the Ashanti, Dahomey, and Yoruba, profited by selling Black captives to Europeans.
2- The Arab-Muslim slave trade was longer-lasting than the European transatlantic trade, and more brutal, with higher mortality rates (up to 80% on some routes) due to castration of males and harsh marches in the Sahara Desert.
2.1 - The Muslim trade spanned the 7th-20th centuries. In this case, the Muslims DID NOT buy enslaved blacks but captured the Blacks, and then transported them across the Sahara Desert and the Indian Ocean (East African route) to the Islamic world.
2.3 - Historians estimate that during the Muslim trade 17 million Africans were enslaved and transported over 1,300 years --- whereas 6-10 million were transported by Europeans across the Atlantic.
3- Whites and Christians were responsible for abolishing BOTH the brutal Muslim and the African slave trades.
3.1 - In fact, European colonialists, along with missionary influences, played a key role in the formal abolition of slavery in Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
3.2 - White benevolent colonial powers (Britain, France, Portugal) began abolishing slavery in their African territories in the early 1800s. Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807 and slavery in its empire in 1833.
3.3 - The Africans wanted to continue enslaving other Africans because Africans had no conception of freedom but view each other as objects. But Britain pressured African colonies and African elites to abolish their slave raids.
3.4 - The British acted according to exclusively White humanitarian ideals and concept of human freedom. France similarly abolished slavery in its West African territories by 1905.
4 - Muslims wanted to continue the slave trade. Islam has no concept of human freedom and lacks humanitarian mercy and compassion.
4.1 - Christian missionaries, particularly from Britain and France, advocated for abolition, viewing slavery as morally incompatible with Christian values. They established missions and schools to resettle freed slaves and spread anti-slavery ideology.
4.2 - If it were not for White compassion and freedom values, Muslims and Africans would have likely continued their slave trades forever.
5 - The "Barbary slave trade", conducted by North African corsairs (from Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, and Morocco) between 1530 and 1830 involved the capture and enslavement of FREE Europeans. Around 1.25 million Europeans were enslaved by Barbary pirates between 1530 and 1830.
5.1 - The Barbary pirates were Muslims acting under the auspices of Ottomans in control of Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli.
5.2 - This trade ended because White Christians compelled Muslims to end it through British and French bombardments of Algiers. The French had to conquer the barbaric Algiers in 1830 to effectively end large-scale Barbary piracy.
