The Slave Trade Mainstream Media Hates To Talk About
The Sahara is the world’s largest desert and crossing it is only possible thanks to scattered oases that provide life-sustaining water to travelers along the way. For those untrained in handling it, the Sahara is a place of death and despair. This was certainly true for millions of slaves who were dragged in chains across that burning desert for a thousand years. This Trans-Saharan Slave Trade is easily overlooked thanks to its more famous Atlantic cousin, but the exchange of unfree people across the desert was a longer lasting and possibly larger system that deserves much ore attention. Today on A Day In History we look at the brutality of the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade and how this institution of slavery and suffering stood for over a thousand years. Don’t forget to live and subscribe to keep up with more videos on historical topics like this one. Origins of Trans-Saharan Slave Trade Slavery within and around the Sahara is as ancient as civilization. Ancient Egyptians extracted slaves from adjacent regions in modern day Sudan and Libya. Later, Phoenician settlers along the fertile Mediterranean Coast, most notably Carthage, established slave trading networks that included slaves taken from all areas of the Mediterranean Basin. But the scattered inhabitants of the Sahara could not satisfy the growing demand for slaves forever. Eventually, traders began using the Sahara as a passageway to access and enslave the people of Sub-Saharan Africa. Historians are unsure who began the trans-Saharan slave trade or when. Herodotus writing in the 5th century BC described a people called the Garamentenes from Libya who allegedly used their chariots to hunt down Ethiopian slaves, and some historians say they were the first trans-Saharan slavers. However, there is no material evidence of these vast slave trading networks and it’s more likely these were just slave raids deepers into the Sahara and not a true trans-Saharan slave trading system. Small numbers of Sub-Saharan Africa slaves existed in Roman North Africa by the 300s. Artwork recovered from Roman villas shows figures who seem to be Black Africans working in fields and hunting, showing that at least some slave trading across the desert existed by this point. However, it wasn’t until the arrival of Islam and the Arabs to North Africa that a larger sustained system of slave trading emerged. Describing the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade Arab armies conquered most of North Africa by the early 8th century. The unified ‘Abbasid Caliphate connected the Islamic world religiously and economically, and slaves would soon move along these connections. Like every major contemporary society, the Islamic world had a great need for slaves, and quickly found that the rural berbers of North Africa were not enough to satisfy the demands of their interconnected world. In time, they would also become suppliers to Christian Europe as well. #transsaharanslavetrade #slavery #history Music: Epidemic music Sources: Keith Bradley, ‘Apuleius and the Sub-Saharan Slave Trade’, Apuleius and Antonine Rome: Historical Essays, (2012) Matthew S.
