Did The Africans Really Sell Themselves into Slavery?

In this video, we are going to be looking at a brief history of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and really ask ourselves if the Europeans really enjoyed enslaving the Africans. We are going to be looking at the story of slavery from an African perspective.

One of the many cruel ironies of history is that while the institution of slavery was a tragedy for many, it benefited others. One of the more popular aspects of the trade is that as many as 20% of those sold to the Europeans were children.

More shocking was the fact that those involved in this despicable act often rationalized that they were only carrying on a tradition that had existed from time immemorial. And that the slaves from Africa would now be exposed to the Christian faith.
