How did the trade in enslaved people affect African societies? - BBC Bitesize

Learn how the trade in enslaved people brought power to some African rulers and societies, but robbed the continent of many of its people, and contributed to famine, instability and loss of culture with this Bitesize National 5 History revision guide.

Slavery had existed in West Africa long before the Europeans arrived there.

Prisoners of war captured in battles between rival kingdoms or tribes were commonly kept and enslaved. These enslaved people could be put to work in mines or even put to death in religious rituals.

European slave traders seldom captured and enslaved African people by themselves. The terrain was too difficult and the kingdoms that ruled these parts of Africa were often too strong for a handful of white slavers to fight. Most enslaved people were sold to the Europeans by other Africans.

African states such as Ashanti (in modern day-Ghana) traded enslaved people in exchange for goods – such as textiles, alcohol, and guns.

They then used their new resources to become more powerful and to fight wars against their neighbours. This meant they could capture more people to enslave, and their society could grow stronger and wealthier.

African slavery and chattel slavery differ significantly in their definitions, practices, and societal implications, particularly regarding the rights and status of enslaved individuals.

Definitions​

• African Slavery: This term encompasses various forms of servitude and slavery that existed in Africa before and during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Slavery in African societies often involved individuals being enslaved due to debt, warfare, or as punishment for crimes. Enslaved individuals could sometimes integrate into their captors' families and might regain their freedom or improve their status over time.
  
  
• Chattel Slavery: This is a specific form of slavery where individuals are treated as personal property, with no rights or autonomy. Chattel slaves are bought and sold, and their status as slaves is inherited by their children. This system was prevalent in the Americas, particularly during the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and it established a permanent, hereditary condition of slavery.

Slavery in West Africa was not the same as the chattel slavery practiced in America, nor does the fact that Africans had slaves justify or excuse what whites did.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

Eggplants and humans share some of the same DNA. That is not a assumption, that is a FACT.

Is that so? You seem well informed. How did eggplants evolve into humans without fairy dust?

I understand one thing. No wonder so many blacks struggle to succeed in the present due to their time-consuming hateful fixations on past atrocities committed by people they did not know on people they did not know.

We are told how the so-called founders of this country created the way to end slavery when they wrote the constitution. Many will cite the fact they made the importation of slaves illegal by 1808 as evidence. But refusing to stop importing slaves did not end the slaving business in the United States. What it produced was an original American industry-slave breeding.
And this is where the excuse makers' argument begins to die.

“According to database-backed estimates by David Eltis and David Richardson, only about 389,000 kidnapped Africans were disembarked in the ports of the present-day United States, the majority of them before independence.”

“By 1860, those few hundred thousand Africans had given way to four million African Americans.”
-Ned & Constance Sublette, The American Slave Coast: A History of the Slave -Breeding Industry

According to this information, 389,000 slaves landed on the shores of what is now America. By 1860, four million slaves were living here. The importation of slaves was made illegal in 1808. So from 1808 until 1860, the number of slaves increased by at least one thousand percent. If we allow for the Africans selling each other, Africans would be responsible for approximately 389 thousand slaves. What about the 3.1-4 million additional slaves? Africans did not create them. This was done by forced slave breeding for business, pleasure, and entertainment.

So again, whites who try to make the Africans sold slaves argument have no leg to stand on. Slavery is not the sole argument, and whites who keep trying to argue about slavery to evade their responsibility to end the current strain of white racism are making a dishonest argument. So do use God while using such dishonest tactics.

Seems that only whites like you have that problem because you have been told that it is your responsibility to end the racism that exists right now that you practice. Those people in the past gave you what you have now white man.

More disingenuous BS. I know what the African slave trade involved. From the white man's and Africans' perspective. You don't.

The narrative of the African running up to whites on the African coast yelling, “We got slaves for sale,” is untrue. If I buy drugs from a drug dealer, it is not the drug dealer’s fault that I became an addict. I chose to purchase the drugs. In the same way, Europeans decided to invade Africa and purchase African war captives. I have not been able to find research whereby Africans loaded up slave vessels that landed in Europe to sell slaves. I see no record of any West African shipping company that sailed the Atlantic, dropping off slaves in South America, the Caribbean, and then America.

Things are not as simple as “Africans sold other Africans into slavery.” It is not as simple as blacks invented slavery, and that we should be forever grateful to whites for being so kind as to end it. I was told as a child that half the truth equals a lie. Half the truth is what the tale of Africans selling other Africans is. You cannot make a sale if no one buys. I learned that the hard way years ago while trying to sell insurance. Africans did not own the shipping companies that carried the slaves to America, nor did they swim across the Atlantic to get here. And I repeat, Africans did not make U.S. laws.

your full of bull shat what i posted was facts and you dont like it the fact is blacks sold blacks into slavery its facts

There were far more whites fighting against slavery than there were democrats fighting for slavery.

I'm sorry I cannot help those poor deluded souls who believe that rich whites must be racists for taking advantages offered Americans because of slavery. Such a warped and erroneous view of history and society is doing great damage to those who have been fooled into thinking such nonsense.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: A Community’s Struggle to Access Clean Water - Nigeria Health Watch

By Ohanu Dabri Olohije (Lead Writer) In ensuring access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene for ALL, we cannot overlook the needs...

articles.nigeriahealthwatch.com

Half the people of this country do not have close access to drinkable water and 1/3 have no water service at all. A country of 232 geniuses cannot figure out basic water, sanitation and waste removal. Women have to walk miles to get water and carry it back. Children in regular contact with shit water.

It is estimated that 48 million Nigerians shit out in the open with no toilets!

(((((White people of the world please pay attention! We need you to rush down to this country and risk your lives(It is dangerous there) to help show these idiots the most basic concepts of water and sanitation. Show them how to make a toilet and how to dig a well. The Chinese are making coal plants for them but only white people solve the problem of shitty water and open defecation.
You owe them whitey!))))

So Biden's comments about Obama being clean was insightful perhaps brilliant because most black people in the world are not clean?

Look at the video. How do they wipe themselves? Because of white people you have clean running water a toilet and paper to wipe with. So STFU and just say thank you.

Democrats in big blue cities have seen major increases in homelessness, crime, and open defecation in their streets in the last 15 years or so.
