Shocking: Native Americans owns black slaves too!

The forgotten history of Native Americans in the 18th century proved to have owned black slaves too. The Cherokee tribe for example owns 4000 black African slaves in 1800s. #slavery #nativeamerican #cherokee #forgotten #history

As Thomas Sowell puts it, Slavery existed before humans could even read and write. Furthermore, do not be so surprised. Before Europeans came, Indigenous Americans enslaved other Indigenous Americans. Also, the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee (formerly called "Creek"), and Seminoles) mainly sided with the Confederate States of America (CSA) on whether to preserve their own sovereignties or their own practices of slavery.

Then are many African Americans claiming and being proud Cherokees not Africans😢

[garyscheerer]

It's a shame they hide all this from us in our schools!!!

[alexhatfield]

Fun fact; the Cherokee fought for the Confederacy and their leader, Stan Waitie, was actually the last rebel general to surrender to Union forces.

Tired of telling black people we don't have any friends

[roseyellowrobe]

Also they should talk about how native Americans were also sold into slavery it wasn't just blacks the Irish it was also a native Americans that were sold off as slaves also.

Indigenous Peruvians owned blk slaves too in the XVII - XVIII centuries in Peru.

Here's something you wanna teach, the first successful slave riot, being in Mexico. Owned Native American slaves but no one wants to teach that.

So many Evil People Who Served the Unclean against GOD by doing this Shame on all who Enslaved Humans

[robertceniceros]

A European still trying to speak for us… go figure

[sano]

Slave doesn't automatically mean Afrikan. Most of the slaves were melanated indigenous people. Yes, "the Five Civilized Tribes" owned slaves but many American Indians were enslaved as a result of Anglo-Indian War prisoners of War were sold as slaves.
This propaganda is designed to counter the ⏰ awakening that is going on in the indigenous community.

Why did the animators make him dance like that . I Also the white man who made this felt really good about himself I can hear it on the voice over 😂 sad thing is the cherrokke had slavery pushed on them they thought they could make up for what they lost with the power of slaves but it was wrong . They was brain washed .

Those Cherokees were mixed, specifically with colonists.. That includes their Chiefs like Elias Boudinot, and Stand Watie.

[EzraRoberts-kgpy]

Only 6 percent of Cherokees owned slaves that were bought not captured. Yes they were slave owners but from war. It was thought in school and it’s still available to learn about. Facts are important

[aubreylindsey]

This Has Me Thinking "Wait I'm Part Racist?"

[tonyafrica]

Wow, they never taught this to us in school!

[RaymondBrown-bpjj]

I’m black American or just American the term African American makes no sense because I don’t have a tribe I come from, african American is a white liberal term to downplay black Americans citizenship, and most black people who are native Americans come directly from slavery, so idk why some black Americans cling to natives but deny having European ancestry due to slavery

[secretsantaification]

Natives raided and kept slaves before Europeans arrived so what would you expect

[westnerrs]

It’s only shocking if you wasn’t taught history. I’m not condoning slavery I’m only saying I knew this fact!

[mlegacywlyfe]

My gma mention this to me when I was little.
Lol at the dance at the beginning!
