Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade — A Global System of Human Suffering

This video tells the entire story of the Atlantic Slave Trade, a vast system that connected continents and shaped the course of global history for centuries. Beginning in the 15th century, European traders, African intermediaries, and colonial powers became part of a network that transported millions of African men, women, and children across the Atlantic Ocean. Forced onto ships and carried through the Middle Passage, they were taken to the Americas and the Caribbean, where their labor became central to plantation economies. The system influenced trade, wealth, and power across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, while deeply affecting the lives of those who were displaced and their descendants. Over time, resistance, changing ideas, and abolition movements brought the trade to an end, though its impact continued long after. #HistoryForSleep #AtlanticSlaveTrade #WorldHistory #darkhistory Want more sleepy history?
