Udgivelsesdato: Nov 27, 2021

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade is one of the most horrific and shameful parts of human history. From 1525 to 1866, an estimated 2.5 million African people were forcibly taken from their homes and shipped halfway across the world to endure lives of brutality and abuse as slaves in the New World. Before they even reached the New World, however, 1 in 5 died because of the horrific conditions aboard the ships that took them across the ocean. We couldn't possibly sum up the tragedy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in one video, and it would be insulting to try, but today we're going to take a little look at life aboard one of these slave ships and the horrifying truth of what innocent African people endured because of the slave trade.
