The more you type, the dumber you are appear to be. I posted about slave rebellions in west Africa and in the Americas. The title of the paper literally says “A Study of West African Slave Resistance from the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries”.

And these people were young at the time. We can’t judge them to why they did or didn’t do certain things. Some died as teens, some reached the age of a young adult.

“Median ages for black and mulatto slaves suggest that the population was young.

Population pyramids exhibit a narrow base and top with a broad middle. The high proportion of slaves between 10 and 30 years of age and the increase in population size between 1850 and 1860 were mainly related to the importation of slaves and only partly due to natural increase.”

I'm not downloading no fukkin links. But here's the summary for that article.

Abstract​

Accompanying the dawn of the twenty-first century, there has emerged a new era of historical thinking that has created the need to reexamine the history of slavery and slave resistance. Slavery has become a controversial topic that historians and scholars throughout the world are reevaluating. In this modern period, which is finally beginning to honor the ideas and ideals of equality, slavery is the black mark of our past; and the task now lies before the world to derive a better understanding of slavery. In order to better understand slavery, it is crucial to have a more acute awareness of those that endured it. Throughout the period of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade in West Africa, slaves consistently resisted slavery as both a condition and as an institution. Slaves represented various ages, tribes, sexes, regions, but resistance was its one true constant theme that crossed all other categories. Examining the different stages of slave resistance during the height of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade in Africa, and the diverse ways in which Africans stood against the practice of slavery, researchers will better understand not only the people who endured slavery, but the institution of slavery itself.

Never does this shyt,nor any of the articles you posted mention continental Africans aka the mothafukkas that sold us fighting Europeans. They all say slave rebellions. Meaning captured Africans who already stripped of everything. I'm talking about the ones who made the deals with these devils who had the numbers and the resources to stop that shyt. You stupid bytch.

You will not read the whole paper, but cite what suits you? Okay. Just say you don’t know this history that well and get it over with.

Let’s go deeper into this conversation and cite some other parts of the paper: “A Study of West African Slave Resistance from the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries”.

“It was in the interior of Africa, not at the coast as some assume, that resistance began.”

“First, while some Africans participated in the slave trade, large populations of Africans resisted not only their own personal capture, but the slave trade itself. Resistance was not merely against slavery or the trading that was taking place with the Europeans, but resistance was against the institution, no matter the final outcome or destination. Instances were recorded where whole villages of men were willing to die in order to stop the enslavement of their people.”


What makes this history even more complicated is domesticated slavery (indentured servants) vs foreign slavery in the new world.

Furthermore the paper explains:

“Despite the case that many historians such as Suzanne Miers and Igor Kopytoff had made stating that “domestic slavery” in Africa is more of a kinship based social relationship; such definite resistance at initial contact makes it clear that Africans facing the possibility of becoming enslaved did not distinguish between foreign and domestic slavery in their forms of resistance, risking their lives if necessary to avoid capture. Therefore, from a potential slave’s perspective, scholars need to rethink the distinction between domestic and foreign slavery.

Through their resistance at the point of capture, we can see that Africans resisted slavery without regard to destination and may not have had any reason to distinguish domestic and foreign slavery until much later in their journeys.

Although the African people opposed being sold into any and all forms of slavery, with the growth of the Trans‐Atlantic trade between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, Africans taken as slaves became even more defiant when being transferred from African to European traders. Often, coordinated revolts took place at holding places where slaves were to be sold from the African raiders to the European shippers.”.
