SlaveVoyages.com is one of the most widely used scholarly resources on the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
I guess I’m not the only one questioning the Transatlantic Slave Trade His-Story. ⛓🚢. I like to hear it from the horse's mouth.
In this video, Dr. David Eltis of SlaveVoyages.com says:
“Black Americans did not come from Africa. They came because of population growth.”
He also says that when you look at the 1870s Census, you will find hardly any Africans. What you will find are native “African” Americans.
That statement caught my attention because these are the same kinds of questions I began asking during my own research.
I believe the Transatlantic Slave Trade happened. I question whether it happened the way we have been taught.
It was questions like these that led me to examine historical records, census records, genealogy, and newspaper archives more closely.
That journey is what eventually led me to shed the “African” label.🪶🪶🪶👆👆👆
