Full Video: The Transatlantic Slave Trade (Story of Ghana's Slave Castles) | Jamii Yangu 

I'm an English teacher in France. For my lessons on Black History, I needed a short documentary on the Transatlantic Slave Trade for my students and I find this video very useful. Thanks for this.

Thank you for this waited episode. May the heroes of our past rest in their graves.

The video leaves out vital information about how the captive were sold to Europeans by people along the West African coast and the coastal people bought the captives from interior Africans who acquired them my many means. Warfare being the most popular then slave raiding . Please let us remember that

In Rio de Janeiro there is a place called Cais do Valongo and this place was the largest slave port in the Americas, the estimate is that 4 million enslaved Africans arrived

I have gone to this castle. What happened to those people was horrible. They missed to show the room where they stored their food provisions. It had more ventilation than those poor people were held captive. They had to relieve themselves in the same room and then sleep in the same place. The white people were really cruel to the indigenous Africans.

That was really sad the story

After the transatlantic slave trade stopped, our African politicians continued from where they stopped, is a big shame.

I’m surprised that the building is still standing, hopefully it’s not sold this just upsets me I just can’t understand how a group of people could let this happen. For the love of money is the root of all evil

GREAT PRESENTATION VIDEO ON #GOLDCOASTGHANA .. THE #TRANSATLANTICSLAVETRADE BEGAN IN #GOLDCOASTGHANA .....

It’s a great video, but what were the specifics of how people were taken across the TA? how was this trade being conducted? Under what circumstances

But why would the Ghanaians sell their own people to the Europeans ???

my history exam is gon be lit this is very helpful!!

00.57 the look on the man's face on the right is heartbreaking. Defeated. How can those monsters have been so cruel.

They are using the word “captives” like the Portuguese and others captured these Africans and made them slaves. It was a TRADE. That’s why it was called The Trans-Atlantic Slave TRADE ! They were captives , but captured by their fellow African Tribes and then TRADED to the Portuguese and other European countries. Also, everyone teaches slavery as it started at this point. It has been going on forever and wasn’t about race , it was about TRADE and POWER. The word Slave comes from the word Slav, meaning a Slavic person. It was coined this word because of the Slavic people being enslaved by the Moors and other African and Muslim peoples. History hurts and I’m not discounting any pains by pointing out the truths of the the Slave TRADE and that slavery existed well before that point and that Africans were doing most of the slave trading then and now. As there are more slaves on earth today , then there was back in that time. Where is the fight for all of their freedom ?? Where is the fight for reparations for all the enslaved peoples in Africa and Asia ??? We need to recognize truth in everything and realize this was never about race but about the vulnerable being turned into resources. God bless you all. And I welcome you to fact check anything I wrote and ask any questions.

Great video but I’m really surprised that you titled it about present day Ghana slave castle but yet did not include Ghana is your list of countries. Are you suggesting enslaved Africans were not taken from present day Ghana?

Thank you sir

How a shame desecrating the name of God for benefit themselves. I am terrified for all that African women and babies endured. They must be compensated. Was a paradise for paedophilia.

why is the fact that slaves were captured and sold by blacks to the europeans. at that time not illegal. morally not right. but nobody has a bad word to say about the black slave traders. why?

Sold by their "own brothers". Tell it like it is!

Some things you might not know, the trans Atlantic slave trade accounted for 10% of traded slaves in the last 1000 years. Africans were already selling slaves for decades before the "English" showed up to buy slaves. 10 times more African slaves were sold east to Arabs where they were castrated. There are more slaves in the world now than were sold in the transatlantic slave trade. The largest slave owner in history was an African king. The "English" fought and died to end slavery worldwide, a part of human history for hundreds of thousands of years by all peoples and it was the English that stop it and drove it underground making it illegal worldwide. The word slave comes from slav which means white people. We have all been slaves. White people ended slavery.

Steve Harvey led me here

I'm looking for a full movie about slavery .Any suggestions

Slave castles sites should be serious pilgrimage destinations for Africans!!! Such are great locations to pass on our history to our children!! Why can't the AU invest in this for learning and business?????

It seems the Portuguese lead the charge everywhere followed by the Dutch and later the French. The British reaped the rewards after they paved the way. History has conveniently forgotten the viciousness of these colonial conquerors. Humans need to know their treacherous history. We have become too comfortable in our own skin.

Welldone😢❤😊

Wow.

Next year I'm going to Ghana and I know I'm going have to be strong the door of no return smh

I'm Portuguese, we're not cruel.. In the time of the kings it was difficult even for us, we all know how difficult it was in the time of the kings. Portuguese just memories. Lengths for Nana Addo

They also leave out the torture and the rape of child etcetera.

Life is precious, but life without freedom is truly a life in hell. This place reminds me of how fortunate I am….

Please it's not European's discovered American point of correction. It's the senior brother of Mansa Musa who discovered South America and pat of North America thanks 😊 👍

Wow

Christ Jesus came to set us free!! Thanks to the ALMIGHTY GOD ! I'm free from all these generational curses!

Who are indigenous Africans? Indigenous Africans are multicultural/Lingual with diverse skin colour tone and stature from North to South, East to West and Central Africa. We are uniquely O-/O+ blood group and A,B,C,D or E haplogroup ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Em1GFuUcFlY.htmlsi=b-xCGWEVJZxqYxP2 that make us the cradle of humankind. Indigeneity makes us Kind, Open-minded, Brave, Honest, Patient, Brilliant... indisputable manners, gift of nature.

They can show me a castle but can't show me a slave ship. They have an upkeep on a castle to trophy their "accomplishments" but have no ships or documents . It's weird

Cape coast castle is not the biggest. It is Elmina castle that is the biggest

How does the Architecture look so modern??

All we can do is learn from history we can’t change it or try to benefit from it unfortunately. The world is mixed now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know better than to question god.. but our ancestors would've appreciated it if he reminded them that he loves them.. cause the whites was really going Thanos on us😢

Does this Ring a Bell

Painful History Of Mankind.

Its crazy black people did this to other blacks and sold them to Europeans. They need to make a movie about them capturing other tribes and selling them.

It’s a fort but why the cannons are facing to the waters and not inland because if your kidnapping folks why not have the cannons inland to fight the family’s that’s tryin to get there folks out. 🤷🏾🤔

It’s crazy to think if you were from a different tribe you’d be sold off to the European slavers.

Dang can you imagine people that look like you are selling you off to people that are completely different

Time to Build ! @TheOriginalManRising

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

....This is how I and my People arrived here in America the Not so Beautiful. We did Not come here by way of IMMIGRATION and We have been here for 400 years....Until the PROPHECY is fulfilled. Never the Less... We will be FREE!....My G-d We will be FREE!

Are u aware that there are people saying that the trans Atlantic slave trade never happened or happened in reverse

😔

Looks more like a prison to me then a castle.

Who run the slave castles? Private companies or government bodies? They soldiers guarding them

Why is the tour guide claiming other west Africans were brought there and notvtalking about the people in present day Ghana and surroundings. The Fantes will take Asantes POW and sell them off or hand them over to the Europeans. And yes Asantes sold slaves.

Also, before the European trade was the Arab trade, some Islamic texts talk about it. And the worst part is in North Africa still going on. Why does no one care about this horrible dehumanizing business?

This shit got me tight

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Who did the European Slavers trade with??? Hmmm that part!!!

This is vision that Solomon saw that one mother was going to rule over his children

First of all, we shouldn’t forget the first ship that landed on the African land came with guns!, invented guns to scare black people , secondly they created confusion among us! By selling weapons for kingdoms to have access to blacks!. Last thing I want to say is, it was planned by a group of people with equal military mind!. Brought missionaries to preach about Jesus and now replacing the gospel with lies and other new world order!.. GOD made slave masters to have their way! To disgrace black people and used us an experiment!

wasn't those africans captured and sold by thier own people.

This is a video about slavery… the way you’re trying very hard to sound “proper” makes it more hard to watch

They took out mothers fathers grand parents away and kept the children breeded by them here in America

Imagine christians doing this to humans. Portuguese are cruel

The only evil, the only devil that exists is humans.

I think it was luck of knowledge

All the black people that are so shocked and want justice while commenting on their iphones is actually hilarious 😂

Very interesting video and truly horrific to think what they went through. It does seem that you're not very concerned about todays slave trade that is rife in Africa. I guess that doesn't fit with the narrative.

Na wa

Never try to forget or forgive, just move on and ignore wisely. History has proved that human repeat their actions and justify them all the time. People mindset hardly changes. There is no word called as civilization most of it is just words and a show. Becareful. Usually the fire hids under ashes and suddenly emerges out of no where. Because of social media and changes in the international laws, it would not be easy to do such things openly but it is still possible for a period of time to do it with different excuses. I hope all people could learn a global torerance, respect, and peacefulness. But hey! Abnormal people are always part of the societies and usually charismatic with so much power. Learn how to protect and save yourselves.🌹🙏❤❤❤ stay together you will be strong enough

Why does this video not talk about who captured these Africans? It wasn’t the Europeans who went and captured them from inner Africa.

Kamataya. Sa buong European

I didn’t know Angola was part of west Africa Loool Fake
