Life on A Slave Ship

In today's video we are discussing a difficult topic, and we have to say it would be impossible to sum up the African slave trade in a few short minutes, and it would be disrespectful to try. We want to make it clear that is not our intention. Instead we're going to try and show you just a slice of how horrible the living conditions on a slave ship actually were.

The one topic no country wants to talk about

[ChaeNels]

The fact that people were okay with treating people like this during the time is beyond me

[truestorysounds]

As an African American I’m beyond speechless. Fighting back tears….Lord have mercy. The things people will do for money! With hatred as a backdrop.

[bbygrl]

I feel sick to my stomach watching this 😞 Humans are so cruel.

[deathridder]

Why is one of the slaves“the girlfriend”

[entity]

Let's get some history on African empires like Nubia, Mali, and the Songhai.

[jrad]

Such a horrific experience, couldn’t even imagine it. And it still has ramifications today

[mayanksingh]

They were tortured
They were humiliated
But they still survived
Now they are some finest leaders

[smnfpxf]

I really admire how respectful this show is - their show of integrity really comes through💕

[keitesipraise]

This is so cruel I can't imagine humans doing this to other humans

[JailanSimon]

Went to a public school. Education on African history was slim

[travelingjohn]

And they tell me and other Blacks to get over it. The least my ancestors are owed is to have their stories told and not sugar coated. Thanks Infographics.

[snirambaya]

So you're trying to tell me these people took about two hunid years to find out that the people from Africa are actual people?

[Mikhail_the_great]

Some people forget how recent this is my grand parents’ grand parents may have very well been slaves. Crazy world

[jasonb]

It was a whole different type of evil back then

0:10 "The Girlfriend" was alive in 1694. The Infographics Show lore continues to expand

[Blake]

The infographics show should make an episode on Jim Crow and life after slavery for the black community.
