Slavery - Crash Course US History #13
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In which John Green teaches you about America's "peculiar institution," slavery. I wouldn't really call it peculiar. I'd lean more toward horrifying and depressing institution, but nobody asked me. John will talk about what life was like for a slave in the 19th century United States, and how slaves resisted oppression, to the degree that was possible. We'll hear about cotton plantations, violent punishment of slaves, day to day slave life, and slave rebellions. Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, and Whipped Peter all make an appearance. Slavery as an institution is arguably the darkest part of America's history, and we're still dealing with its aftermath 150 years after it ended.

Black people need to get over it
Also black countries treated slaves worse than white countries -

IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO DISLIKE JUST KNOW THERE Was white slavery during slavery not just black people BUT I BELIEVE DUE TO RACISM WERE NOT TAUGHT THAT IN SCHOOL THINK BLACK PEOPLE WERE RAPED MAKING WHITE KIDS WHO WERE SOLD AND PREVIOUS WHITES BEFORE BLACK SLAVERY STILL WERE SLAVES EVEN WITH NATIVE AMERICANS AS SLAVES WE DON'T EVEN LEARN NATIVE AMERICANS WERE SLAVES. WHITE SLAVES WERE TO ROMANS,GREEKS,VIKING WITH BLOND HAIR AND BLUE EYES,MUSLIM COUNTRIES AND EVEN MODERN DAY BY ISIS HAVE WHITE SEX SLAVES AND SO ON THROUGHOUT HISTORY I READ HISTORY OF BLACK MAN WHO OWNED TWO WHITE SLAVES DURING SLAVE TRADE. I RESEARCHED WHITE SLAVE ADS SUCH AS TWO WHITE WOMEN FOR PLANTATION OWNERS.

Stan Muller uses satire and humor to tell in a nutshell the entire rationale and justification to the existence of slavery. But he's white. He can afford to put "a little entertainment" in his depiction of slavery as an institution. As far as it leading to the Civil War, he pokes fun at the black man as being "free." So it was into the mid 19th century and into the early 20th. The "negro" wasn't recognized as equally human under Jim Crow.
As sad as it is in the mid 20th and 21st century, under which the Civil Rights movement became law, the black man has yet to win his dignity. For more black men are killed or in prison; more black people protest their treatment by law enforcement under "Black Lives Matter" where few care, but its focus is on police brutality tactics rather than understanding diversity of cultures; and where millions of African-Americans still live in poverty; undereducated, and abandoning their families to have a single mother raising children (as it was under slavery laws that didn't recognize marriage among the "negro-slave" population).
As an institution, slavery is gone. It's outlawed. It's now called human trafficking, but the business of racism is still alive and well. The Black person may not wear chains anymore, but endures the oppression of intolerance. -
BLESS the Justice reference!!

Need I remind you, the first slaves were Irish. Are we seriously not gonna talk about that?
-
One thing that i would like to see in the US History Course Crash videos is the slave revolts. They are rarely talked about and show that the African Americans, at that time, didn't take slavery sitting down.
-
You didn't mention the Haiti slave rebellion.. I'm assuming when you said 3 major slave rebellions you meant just in the continental U.S then?
