How Hispanics helped slaves escape to Mexico on the Underground Railroad 

Nobody cares

México outlawed slavery in 1829 by Vicente Guerrero a multiracial men he had african roots from his mother for that reason he was the first brown president of Mexico before Benito Juárez the second brown president of Mexico the first Mexican president was Guadalupe Victoria a criollo son of Spaniard people and then the next president who fought against slavery was Antonio López de Santana a former captain of the Spanish army before change side to the independence insurgency almost all Mexican presidents were white Mexicans including Porfirio Díaz because his father was white criollo or son of Spaniard people.

@@mexicohispanico6499 this is awesome to know!!!

Your not black 😂

They did not teach me this in school and am from Texas!!!!!!!

Exactly!

Not just during Slavery but during Jim Crow era too. Phylicia Rashad and her sister Debbie Allen, spoke about this. Their Mom took them to Mexico. In a few Cosby show episodes, one can hear Phylicia Rashad speaking in Spanish.

Yessir my great grandmother was one of them

Thank YOU

Mexicans ARE Hispanic.

Yeah the "nobody gets left behind.."if I eat..we all eat" mentality is forever stapled in mexican culture

Beautiful

Mexicans hate on Dominicans and Puerto Ricans thoo

@@JOHNDOE-vg9geI know many Mexicans that are very to Puerto Ricans if u talk of racism talk to the Dominicans who happen to be racist towards their own ppl…

@@JOHNDOE-vg9geand puerto ricans and dominicans hate mexicans😂 in florida people tell me mexicans are the bottom of the barrel

ummm us latinos ARENT just mexicans you see how white people just label latinos JUST mexicans

Hebrew Israelites Baruch 3:8 “Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God.” 1 Kings 8:47 “Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;”

@@cassidylava2587yeah but most spanish countries still had slaves during this time, Mexico abolished slavery in 1822 and then the USA had its war on slavery against the confederate south in 1863. 1820 most Latin American nations were still fighting slavery at a very slow pase might I add, not only that but Mexico was of the first Mestizo nations to abolish slaves. Until the Yankees came into Texas and brought them as servants with a permission slip by the thousands along with Anglo-Saxon families

​@@cassidylava2587Latinos are much better than Anglosaxon people, Latin people came from ancient Romans!

Mexicans are Hispanics, Latinos just like me

That's a lie

💯

Mexicans are Hispanic. 🤦😂😂😂

It was Mexicans get it right!!! Mexicos 2nd president was A BLACK MAN VICENTE GUERRERO!!

Only when hispanics do bad things they don't hasetate to say Mexicans and when Mexicans do good things they don't want give them credit thats ashamed 😕

@jaime-xs9vb it's always been like that idk why so much hate on mexicans

Very few people know that

They stole Mexico like they steal everything else.

You can read the " Duel of the Eagles" very good book and is in Engllish

It's not that bad anymore. Current college books on texas govt say that making slaves illegal in texas was one of the 3 main reasons for the texas revolution; along with feelings of white superiority.

yeah your ggpa sounded like such a great man to look up too. hope you sensed the sarcasm.

My 7G Grandfather was born in San Antonio in 1823 when it was part of Mexico . His parents moved to the UK and he joined a whaling ship then moved to NZ in 1845. They all left as they refused to live under US oppression and detested all slave owners

Exactly, according to the US (texas schools) mexico attacked its own mexican territory (texas) been the dictador bad guy killing its own people and the US came and liberated all the people the savior The US is the biggest liar criminal ever in the entire history , of course they don't say anything about slavery and the pilgrims going into mexican soil illegally killing Mexicans refusing to abolish slavery ,declaring independence in a land they were illegal and stealing half of mexico territory

The slaverya was been abolished in mexican territories since 1810 with the declaration of independence from spain...

@@periclesperez103 slavery was before that abolished. Actualy Isabella la católica already abolished slavery . still there was a Long process over all but the "leyes de Indias " and "leyes de Burgos" are Milestones in direction human rights . A fact that the anti Hispanic Propaganda created by the anglos to balkanize the Hispanic Sphere and legacy. One has to have in mind that the mindset of anti slavery in Hispanoamerica comes from the Hispanic Empire and the Hispanic faith and culture . It was above all the Catholic Church And the Spanish Crown wich fought against slavery and protected the indigenous by law. The Nahua religión and culture was deeply rooted to slavery , Mass sacrifices (including children) and ritual canibalism. Meaning the source of the humanistic mindeset in Mesoamérica comes from the Church and Spain . Wich is logical. In fact the Mexican goverment (after independencia) even Took away significant privileges and rights the indigenous had in the Hispanic Empire . wich led to conflicts with the Apache-chiricahuas for example . The Indigenous Allied nobility became Part of the Hispanic nobility. when New Spain (México+) was created as a result of Spanish -indigenous alliance. The Fusion was not one sided. both influenced each other. Spanish has 1500+ loanwords from indigenous languages. Etc Mexico was Not a victim but a very part of the Empire , Spain and Mexico was one and the same. ...and to be honest, México even beeing the Most important Part of the Empire richer then Spain It selfe. Voting together with Spain And the Other virreynatos the global supermacy back Then. There was no mexicsn identety Outside the Hispanic sfere Back then . The identety was created after the independencia. Saludos ✌🏼

@@unomasdelsur lastima que la mayoria de leyes aprobadas desde españa no entraron en vigor en la vida real en America. Fueron palabras escritas sin ejecución real por varias circunstancias. Tampoco creo en la leyenda rosa que nos quiere hacer creer que españa trataba y mantenia muy bien sus colonias, cosa que es inexacta. Si asi fuera, la gente no se hubiera entregado a luchar por la independencia con tanto fervor.

In coahuila México is a place called Nacimiento de los negros, was an exclusive blacks Town.

The difference is that those people escaped from Spanish colonizers and the people in this video are the ones running for freedom from the slavery in the US

In Veracruz state you can find the black heritage places by their names: Mocambo, Mandinga, Yanga, La Matoza, La Mancha,

😆 yes I have a couple of friends from Costa Chica that look African it's crazy!

True, I am black man from Acapulco

Mexicans are Hispanic 🤦

Wth are we then tf?

Hispanics are any Spanish speaking race in Latin America. This video is specifically about Mexicans so they should have said Mexicans not Hispanics, credit where credit is due

@@judyleon830 Hispanic is NOT a race it's a ethnic group. 🤦😂

@@Yvonne19903 Most Mexicans are real Americans, Native Americans. . most are not.

me too man, hey perhaps this is our open door to to revisit our history and build a synchronized future for all

This is embellished. It's pathetic black people are so ignorant of their own history they believe anything they're told.

If that made you cry? Wait till you find out West Africans sold and profited from selling their fellow man.

Yes , look up Vicente Guerrero and how mexico celebrates Juneteenth

Is not black history, it is African American history, Anglo-American, latin Americans, Asian American etc..

No fight

Mexicans have obviously always helped the af ricans they're the ones k ill ing our vulnerable people.

I know right, but its starting to look like this history can actually help with that. The thing is Blacks like myself don't know this. Now I put it together doing my own family history but never the less.

It's división that is created ok purpose by the elite

Look up how mexico celebrates Juneteenth

Tell that to your people they seem to forget that we helped them alot and this is how they pay us? By robbing our innocent Mexican street vendor, by calling us racist slurs, and the famous “build the wall”, and telling us to go back to Mexico smh

I remember telling students this in high school back in2014. In the end I got in Trouble because here in the USA you have certain information THAT YOU DO NOT TALK IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.. THATS WHAT I WAS TOLD AT THE OFFICE.

You got love for them. You stupid they don’t like blacks either.

No

@@StyleswithCourtney?

They have to make Hispanics feel equal😮

@@Shaq-pm9zq And we really aren't, Argentina is "Hispanic" but they did some nasty stuff after WW2 and now they are broke. I don't relate to them at all as a Mexican.

​@@Shaq-pm9zqmost Americans think all Latinos are Mexicans anyways

why do you wish that? so you'd hate mexican people less?

i wish i had found out sooner that bp are a stereotype when it comes to what's below the belt but don't let that secret be known they would not like that.

It's a mostly a lie you shouldn't be so gullible.

They won't teach you this in school because the education system here wants pale skin to be glorified, not the tan people to the South of the Texas fake border.

@@Goosgoos-222 You're insane.

Thank you Mexico! My esposo is Mexican and I have learn so much from his people. They are warm, loving, hard working and intelligent people. The Americanized ones are so so different. Anyway, again thank you Mexico for helping my ancestors escape chattel slavery. God bless you. Dios los bendiga a todos!

Actually, California was NOT admitted as a slave state, and Az and NMexico were not states til after the Civil War, as I recall. Texas, well, they went that way already - keeping slaves, which broke their lease from MX, has been given as a reason for the Mexican American war as well.

Meanwhile... What was the white slave trade called? The Barbary slave trade involved slave markets in the Barbary States. European slaves were acquired by Barbary pirates in slave raids on ships and by raids on coastal towns from Italy to the Netherlands, Ireland and the southwest of Britain, as far north as Iceland and into the Eastern Mediterranean.

From bases on the Barbary coast, North Africa, the Barbary pirates raided ships traveling through the Mediterranean and along the northern and western coasts of Africa, plundering their cargo and enslaving the people they captured. From at least 1500, the pirates also conducted raids along seaside towns of Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, England, the Netherlands and as far away as Iceland, capturing men, women and children. On some occasions, settlements such as Baltimore, Ireland were abandoned following the raid, only being resettled many years later. Between 1609 and 1616, England alone had 466 merchant ships lost to Barbary pirates.[29] Slave quarters Edit At night the slaves were put into prisons called 'bagnios' (derived from the Italian word "bagno" for public bath, inspired by the Turks' use of Roman baths at Constantinople as prisons),[30] which were often hot and overcrowded. Bagnios had chapels, hospitals, shops and bars run by captives.[31] Galley slaves Edit See also: Galley slave Conquest of Tunis by Charles V and liberation of Christian galley slaves in 1535 Although the conditions in bagnios were harsh, they were better than those endured by galley slaves. Most Barbary galleys were at sea for around eighty to a hundred days a year, but when the slaves assigned to them were on land, they were forced to do hard manual labor. There were exceptions: galley slaves of the Ottoman Sultan in Constantinople would be permanently confined to their galleys, and often served extremely long terms, averaging around nineteen years in the late seventeenth-century and early eighteenth-century periods. These slaves rarely got off the galley but lived there for years.[32] During this time, rowers were shackled and chained where they sat, and never allowed to leave. Sleeping (which was limited), eating, defecation and urination took place at the seat to which they were shackled. There were usually five or six rowers on each oar. Overseers would walk back and forth and whip slaves considered not to be working hard enough. Number of people enslaved Edit According to Robert Davis, between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries.[33][34] However, to extrapolate his numbers, Davis assumes the number of European slaves captured by Barbary pirates were constant for a 250-year period, stating: There are no records of how many men, women and children were enslaved, but it is possible to calculate roughly the number of fresh captives that would have been needed to keep populations steady and replace those slaves who died, escaped, were ransomed, or converted to Islam. On this basis it is thought that around 8,500 new slaves were needed annually to replenish numbers-about 850,000 captives over the century from 1580 to 1680. By extension, for the 250 years between 1530 and 1780, the figure could easily have been as high as 1,250,000.[5]

Thomas Jefferson When Thomas Jefferson became president, the pirates increased the cost of the tribute and Jefferson refused to pay it. Instead, he sent United States warships to the Mediterranean Sea, which eventually began bombarding the pirate bases. The pirates surrendered in 1805 in what came to be known as the First Barbary War.

I found out a couple of days ago they even celebrated Juneteenth in certain parts of Mexico.

👋🐸HOLA CYNTHIA BIEN GUAPA 😍

But let’s not also forget that white Mexicans also had slaves.When the Spanish and Portuguese brought all the slaves to south and Central America. As well they also tried to erase that black people even existed in the country,and actually succeeded on doing so. The Argentinians tried that too,especially since they wanted to keep their country completely white,but they failed.

​@@Bumbumbr-zu5gcWhat's your source?

@@surcalifas503 History?

I didn't know this either. Why is it that stuff like this is not taught in school?

It’s taught in Mexico we just have a huge and vast history it’s hard to cover all of it at once quite literally, but it’s not unknown to us Mexicans that there are Mexicans of African decent, some just want to feel the victim of not being recognized by the world but I love every culture from my beloved Fatherland 🇲🇽 I’d hate to see these topics mingle with woke culture and watch how things take a turn for the worst, and remember to all my African Americans we may have some people in Mexico that are black but that doesn’t mean we come from the same backgrounds cultures and so fourth so please be respectful embrace the culture learn the language and have fun learning be mindful and please don’t come to Mexico expecting Mexicans to speak English on our soil all of a sudden, exclusively for you who might be reading this or any other “yank Anglo Americans”

It was black mexicans that helped, and the mexican that knew they were afro these mexican now dont know their history, they want to be Europeans now

It wasn't just some Mexicans, the whole country all the people were willing to go to war to protect slaves after the US demanded the return of all slaves fleeing the country A big No from mexico followed of a big F yo pilgrims

Or maybe her African descendents were brought as Slaves to Mexico by the Spaniards. They were brought mainly to Michoacán, Guerrero, and Jalisco.

Sáquese a tu pariente se lo trajeron de África y ya.

Thank You!!! Dont be so broad as to simply say "Hispanics" when this subject specifically depicts historic events between slaves and Mexico

Honduras has black people and we’re once slaves so as Panama and some small towns in Guatemala

Exactly 💯👍

Be careful that offends the other hispanics. How dare u get to be associated with america in such an intimate way🤭

@@citizencoy4393 don’t forget that they also get offended that in the U.S there is dominance of Mexicans culture (ethnic-centrism) in which plenty of folks hate. They start using Chicano as theirs. Even though it means people of Mexican descent and etc…

Slavery was abolished in 1865. Maybe these Mexican nationals were forced to work, but not slaves?

Mexico, led by the Spaniards, was never able to make slavery work. They weren't against it, it just required more work than they were willing to invest in it.

@@rebeca3284 why do think they have June 19th in Texas

@@jaime-xs9vb From what I understand, June 19th, is now an official holiday across the United States. It was on June 19, 1865, that news got to Texas that the war had ended and all slaves were free.

Yes, we must also remember Africans were also brought as slaves to Mexico by Spaniards.

In Guerrero and Oaxaca too. A place called La Costa Chica has a lot of Afro Mexicans

Thanks Dr. Galvan for not being to proud to speak about this.

The first President of Mexico was a Black Mulatto.. Vicente Guerrero.. not surprising at all.

Vera Cruz had been a port for slavery.

Mexico abolished slavery before the us which is why many slaves escaped to Mexico. The 2nd president of Mexico abolished slavery and was of black and Mexican descent -vicente Guerrero. Also there is a small town in Mexico that celebrates Juneteenth. You can find these videos on youtube

That's why you don't make assumptions on others, and think you know all there is to know about them. Get to know about other countries, cultures, and people before you feel "a way" about them, or pass judgment on them. I have a link for you, about a slave who escaped to Mexico, and what happened to the slave catcher who dared cross into Mexico, chasing him.

I hope if anytime you were racist against Mexican now you apologize.

I truly believe a lot of our (Mexicans and African Americans) anger and frustration is genetically linked to the slavery, murder, torture, rape that our ancestors endured. I know as a Mexican male I often have crazy dreams and always wish I could go back in time and witness what my family had to endure compared to the life I live now

Only one percent of Mexico isaf rican.

​@@MediCali951We're not related they just live in Mexico cause the yts would have kept them in c hinz.

@@lykndeltoro8412 we are related actually. Africans fled before Columbus arrived and started families here. Mexico helped free the slaves from USA and they fought us over it including the Alamo. They won’t teach you that in American schools

@@MediCali951 if that were true we'd look like brazilians or Dominicans. Af ricans are one percent of the population. More lately since the mass migrations.

Best thing said

That is the reason why is not teach in the USA they don't want us to be united.they are afraid of us

Muzquiz, Coahuila? I remember meeting black people from this area in Mexico when I was a child.

Oaxaca?

Kansas is Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

The name is Yanga in Veracruz State

El pueblo se llama Nacimiento. Yanga fue el primer pueblo libre de toda América fundado por esclavos originarios de África que se rebelaron al Virreinato de la Nueva España.

If they were born in the US, then they are Americans. They are only Mexican if they were born in Mexico. 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

Exactly 💯

Those sl Aves were also different from the ones today.

So what are you saying you racist scumbag that blacks are beautiful cuz there mixed nah they are fine cuz there black and that's bullshit most of them black people are not mixed there full black and yeah some mixed

Maybe In their neighborhoods. There aren't afrolatinos all over Mexico. Most of us don't have contact with them or know any.

@@lykndeltoro Maybe you haven't paid enough attention, because they are everywhere. Remember it's a mixed raced country, don't expect them to look like those that have only been mixed once, that is a stereotype of how african descendants "should look".

Cause blacks don’t know this is my first time hearing of it and I’m 75 years of age.

Yeah they will if ppl like you weren't so rude and entitled

The video is about Mexicans not latinos. The only people helping sl Aves were Mexicans.
