Ever imagined what it feels like to have your dignity ripped from you, to have absolutely no control over your life, body and fate? This is what African captives went through during the dark transatlantic slave trade era. Unfortunately, the inhumane treatment, torture and degradation only worsened after the Slave trade was abolished. Enslaved women were forced to undergo the trauma of repeated rape by their enslavers, overseers and stockmen to begin a dastardly program that continues to shock the world over two hundred years later.
Young children were separated from their mothers to be resold into slavery. Men were degraded and treated with disdain to keep them active. The ones bold enough to escape were chased down like dogs by overseers and drivers. Accounts of Slavery have always been gruesome, but in today’s video, we delve into some of the darkest torments ever unleashed on people on the face of the Earth.

Africans played a direct role in the slave trade, kidnapping adults and stealing children for the purpose of selling them, through intermediaries, to Europeans or their agents. Those sold into slavery were usually from a different ethnic group than those who captured them, whether enemies or just neighbors. Slavery has been found in some hunter-gatherer populations, particularly as hereditary slavery, but the conditions of agriculture with increasing social and economic complexity offer greater opportunity for mass chattel slavery. Slavery was already institutionalized by the time the first civilizations emerged (such as Sumer in Mesopotamia, which dates back as far as 3500 BC). Slavery features in the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi (c. 1750 BC), which refers to it as an established institution. Slavery was widespread in the ancient world in Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Africa. It became less common throughout Europe during the Early Middle Ages, although it continued to be practised in some areas.
