The Atlantic slave trade: What too few textbooks tell us
(TED-Ed) European Christians have enslaved each other and others for centuries. Slavery itself has occurred in many forms throughout the world for a long time. But the Atlantic slave trade -- which is thought to have forcibly brought more than 10 million Africans to the Americas [though other theories say that the blacks enslaved in the America were from the Americas, taken into chattel slavery (made property) and killed along with other Native Americans] -- stands out for both its global scale and its lasting legacy. Anthony Hazard discusses the historical, economic, and personal impact of this massive historical injustice. Animation by NEIGHBOR.
