you'd be surprised at how many people believe that slavery didn't exist before america

[lazy]

It’s very rare to see someone talk about slavery like this. A totally unbiased perspective with facts rather than opinions makes this so enjoyable to watch. I just learned 10 times more about the horror of slave trade than I did throughout the entirety of the education system.

[robertellis]

Thank you for covering modern slavery. It’s an absolute tragedy people will deny it and demonize slavery as something just one country did, and refuse to acknowledge that it continues to this day.

[trojanincrypter]

Not to downplay American slavery at all, or slavery in general, but this just goes to show that slavery occurred almost everywhere in the world, and is still going on today. Yet I see so many people acting as if the American slave trade was some type of uniquely vile thing. Just opens up your perspective a little, which is always a good thing.

I'm glad someone is pointing out modern slavery during one of these videos. The cold fact of there being more slaves than ever before is lost as we "abolished" slavery across the world. Even though something is illegal and frowned upon, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Thank you for being brave enough to point this fact out, as we believe we are more civilized than we actually are as a species. Slavery will never end, we can only hope to limit it as much as possible.

This should be taught in grade school, too many people are not aware of the real history of slavery. Brief but accurate and to the point.

[RobinDunbar-gjly]

This is probably the best informed summary of slavery I have ever read or listened to. A properly global perspective, and very succinctly done.

[ibarny]

As a black American, this video helped me escape the matrix and stop being so touchy about this topic. Popular culture makes it seem like our people are the ones ones that had to go through it, when that's not true at all. I am now much less vulnerable to the antics of the left when it comes to things like this, thank you.

[deonallen]

Thank you so much for this. I teach Middle School American History and this video is an absolute blessing for covering the background of slavery outside of our borders.

[sherylannnarvasa]

It would have been helpful if pre-Columbian slavery in the Americas was addressed, as well as sub-Saharan African slavery, which existed before the Arab slave traders arrived in that region of the world. Also, a look into slavery in East and Southeast Asia from the last few thousands years would also help to show the ubiquitous nature of slavery.

[ShubhamMishrabro]

You briefly mentioned berber slave trade but a description of barbary wars would have been great too.

[mertceylan]

incredible accuracy, details and visuals. thank you!

[Willcaballero]

Man... I was feeling so confident for humanity as major countries started to outlaw slavery one-by-one, only to have the video end with by mentioning that there are now more slaves on earth than at any previous moment. Really puts things in perspective. Humanity can be so incredibly cruel.

[richrumble]

Seriously, I appreciate the accuracy of the video. The attention to detail is very good. For instance, the map is updated to reflect Louis XIV's expansion into the Low Countries; Avignon is shown as a papal enclave in pre-Revolutionary France; the British Union of 1707 is shown; the Mosquito Coast settlements are represented, etc.

[lowellfinn]

Cant believe my eyes when this is a video not just shorts. Luv ur videos so much. Huge fan!

[LibertarianGal]

Great video. I usually check out on videos like this, but it held my attention for the entire time.

[santigamerprogamer]

I love how you made the frontiers change while the years pass. Those frontier changes were so pleasant to see!

[twotrucks]

It should be mentioned that the Mamluks did also secure a lot of their mamluks from Central Asia. The ruling classes were either Turkic (Bahri) or Circassian (Burji) depending on the era

[commonomics]

What this tells me is that almost every major civilization practiced slavery

[spinach]

Focused way too much on the european slave trade neglecting other slave trades, though still a gem of a video
