10 Common Slavery Myths
Comments are disabled because of the sheer amount of bigotry. This channel does not allow such behavior. There's a comments response video, but spreading hate there or anywhere on this channel will results in a ban.
There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the institution of slavery, especially here in the United States. These myths often serve pernicious political purposes that can be highly detrimental to a proper conception of history. So here are 10 of those myths debunked in no particular order.
For general reference and mistakes:
-I'm tired of all the racism in the comments, so they are now disabled - if you have a comment, here is a comment response video. Watch that before commenting (because you're probably just another racist, and here's why): https://youtu.be/Rzs62Y0qJ0o
1 - one example of white slavery I could have mentioned were the Amerindian slavers of Tans-Mississippi West, who would raid Spanish/Mexican colonies and visa/versa - but that is way too complicated for this myth.
2 - 3:20 - my bad, 1922 was the fall of the Ottoman Empire, 1918 was the end of WWI
5 - 7:10 - "any power not expressed" (the not is kind of difficult to hear)
7 - 8:30 - typo, Marx was born in 1818 not 1918, LOL
