In Scottish Black History, Slavery and the Church Scottish history Tour guide Bruce Fummey takes you to Auchterarder old Parish Church to explain the birth of the Free Church of Scotland and one of the tales from Scotland's history that is often forgotten.
Slavery in Scotland ended before slave income in Scotland ended. I was asked to produce a video on Scottish black history for British black history month and I had a ready made story very close to my home. Few will realise how the split in the Church of Scotland and the Free Church of Scotland feeds into Scottish black history and slavery. This is part of Scotland's story

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As one of Scotland history tour guides people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation of your from the US. So from April 2020 I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

If you believed black lives mattered you'd be shouting all lives matter. Instead of you know, championing the people quite literally oppressing and killing blacks in SA, or chicago. You should have known better from your fore father smith, or hume. But well, the slavers were your forefathers as well with a bunch of socialist slavers statues thrown in the river by the people following in their footsteps, so...

Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire. Yes 100% all lifes do matter. The better person puts all others before themselves. But charity starts at home we must look after our family first , then our friends then & only then shall we see fit to start investing our time & our lifes in others further a field because the ordinary person has only so much money to go around. Would I of sent the money back 100% yes because money is not everything values , freedom thought aswell as liberty of conscience are everything I value in a moral sense so buy sending the money back I would have my values intact. In a way we are all slaves because we are all slaves of the state The British state in my case because if you pay any kind of taxes then to me that is a kind of slavery it's not like they give you the freedom of choice about it now us it.

I’m descended from Scottish Covenanters who decided to exclude members who were slave owners. My ancestors moved from the US south to the north and congregated with others in western PA/eastern OH, some of whom were active in the Underground Railroad. I had never realized Frederick Douglas went to Scotland. What an incredible man!

@TheXanderGrim 2 года назад

Not all who owned owned for labor , some owned as Abolitionists and turned them to indentured and did training in reading and writing , after 7 years the contract was up sent on their way with their family free with money of 7 years wages to start off. My Family were Quakers who were those kind . We actually have issue with those who did not see evils of what had been done to us . My family is also Cherokee and Sauk . And Yes it was not just Western OH and PA we were all up and down the Blue Ridge and Appalachian range, my dad's family hails from Wise VA . \

I've served two Presbyterian congregations, one in Wellsville Ohio and another in Erie Pennsylvania, where members had homes which had safe rooms and tunnels for escaped slaves traveling the Underground Railroad. My own great X3 grandmother, Barzilla Jenkins, either escaped or was released from slavery in South Carolina, and moved to Xenia Ohio in the 1820's. Her mother was from Ghana, and her father, the white oppressor. Thanks Bruce for your "story" and history and reminders of how we still enslave others!

It may seem like an easy question to answer because it's highlighted by today's society, but honestly it would be hard for us to answer when not only was it against the norm, but depending on how far you took it, punishable by law. Not making excuse, but what in today's society will they find morally wrong tomorrow? That being said, the Wesley. Brothers, William Wilberforce, and David Bernard are among a few men from history who I look up to who spoke out against oppressing others. I guess a good litmus test would be "do you stand on your conviction no matter the circumstances or how unpopular?"

@bertiesaurus 3 года назад

I'll be honest, and I won't back this up with evidence so take it as merely an opinion, but slavery must be worse than ever right now, and so many people do just ignore it. When we hear 'sweatshops' 'blood diamonds' and other terms from the lesser developed countries it is so easy to dismiss it as far away and irrelevant to us, one might think ' oh well that's their governments issue to sort out'. If I go to M&S to get some clothes I see 'made in Taiwan' or 'made in china'... but then I've seen countless reporters going to places in Taiwan, and places in china where it is literally systematic slavery within these factories, let alone the children being used as workers. These reporters barely make the headlines, because the headlines want something new and relevant. I've heard and seen of slavery in Africa, millions of people enslaved in large mines and other industries, supplying china who inturn supplies the west. Of course people are taking action, but for me, I can so easily see people in a few hundred years regarding us the same way we regard ignorant people of the american slave trade. 'We are products of our time' or so to say, because it seems we are conditioned not to care about the slavery that goes into not our essential products, but our luxuries..

People have known that slavery was wrong for thousands of years before the European colonization of Africa. No one was ever happy when it happened to them. No one ever easily forgave someone who enslaved them. And there was always violent resistance to the prospect of enslavement as well as violent resistance from the enslaved against their slavers. "Slavery is wrong" is simply an obvious fact. That of course didn't stop people from doing it, or deluding themselves with justifications for doing it. All throughout the European colonization of Africa and North America did you have arguments, protests, and abolitionist movements fighting against the institution of slavery. And you had the mental gymnastics of an entire pseudo-scientific community working very hard on behalf of their aristocratic benefactors to justify what was obviously an atrocity. We have known that slavery was wrong as long as we have known that murder was wrong. People did it anyway when the perceived benefits overcame their moral resistance to the concept, just like they do with murder.

For the record, I enjoy your programme immensely. I've always had an insatiable appetite for knowledge, and this course is feeding that want. My grandmother's family is the Pennants, originally from the Shetland Islands; for some reason, they all left at the same time, around 1850; some went to Liverpool, Australia, and my grandmother ended up in Canada through the programme "British Home Children," in servitude from the ages of 10 to 18; unlike many of the program's cases, however, my grandmother was treated well, and in 1921, at the age of 21, she immigrated to the United States. John Beaumont, my great-great-grandfather, lived in Huddersfield, York, and he owned three sizable parcels of land, yet his will read more like a lease than an indication of ownership. And then there's Lawrence. The Ashton Hall line of the family appeared to be quite prosperous until King Henry the Eighth forcibly confiscated much of their property. Finally, there was the Hawkins family, who remained until 1928, when my great-grandfather, who had been injured in a steel factory accident outside of Middlesborough, died on the kitchen table while doctors attempted to save his life. In short order after that, my grandfather uprooted to New York. Now I'll finally start to understand why the hell the my ancestors would bolted from U.K. And my grandparents make sure I knew I was Protestant..

Fun fact: if Washington, DC gets statehood, the DC will no longer stand for District of Columbia but Douglass Commonwealth. His house in the District is open to the public.
