When did slavery actually end in the United States? - Karlos K. Hill and Soraya Field Fiorio

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Get to know the history of Juneteenth, a commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War. At the end of the Civil War, though slavery was technically illegal in all states, it still persisted in the last bastions of the Confederacy. This was the case when Union General Gordon Granger marched his troops into Galveston, Texas on June 19th and announced that all enslaved people there were officially free. Karlos K. Hill and Soraya Field Fiorio dig into the history of Juneteenth. Warbler: This is just silly. we are so concerned about the past (and apparently bringing the past into the present) that we fail to realise that there are 42 million slaves around the world. Yet the USA continues to navel gaze about the past (and now pretending we still live in the past)

I like the illustrations, but I have critique of some them. Like add at 4: 47 a sign of Breonna Taylor s face & SayHerName etc too, the Crown Act too. At 4: 45 Show an African American woman s face being covered by a white hand too. Show Malcolm X & Angela Davis etc. At 2: 32 show that AfricanAmerican women were in chains too. It s odd, these historic details were ignored or forgotten.

Lots of neoconfederates in the comments. If you're scrolling by and see a hot take about calling them Union states or we have prisoner's rights, actually do yourself a mental favor and do not engage. They know they can stay rich by turning back the clock, and they're doing everything they can to do it, and they're starting by vaporizing our education system.
reply

It didn't. If you have extreme mental illness you are 5x more likely to be in jail and still above average just for any mental illness whatsoever. These people do forced labour. These people are therefore both kept against their will for reasons beyond their ability to work without reward for the people who benefit from that ableism.

Thank you for a nice video. I use ted-ed videos to study English, especially for improving listening ability. I think that the volume of background music is a little louder for me, not a native speaker of English. It's a little difficult to focus on English spoken, so I'd like you to turn it down a little if possible.

Wow wow wow! People! It s 2023! Yeah so no. Now just hear me out on this. Make no mistake, time to move on from the past! It s the past. It passed. It s done. Live for today and tomorrow! Seriously. OMG!

Youth of today are sooooo obsessed with slavery and race and skin color. It s incredibly irritating. Studying history is one thing, but it s just annoying at this point. America has made so much progress, there are other countries that still utilize slavery to this day.
reply

It's still utilized as a punishment for a crime, outlined in the 13th amendment. The video does mention this, but it is not hard to find widespread slavery conditions in US prisons with the justification that it is a deserved punishment even when that is not the case.
reply

The fact that you have to use the word except when talking about the 13th amendment is crazy. Then they wonder why law enforcement and the judicial system is so hyper-focussed and harsh on the descendants of slaves. Literally nothing has changed except technology
reply

It didn't end, it is persisting in different ways, through human trafficking for example, or investing in mines or other industries in African countries, using African citizens as a workforce, paying them cheaply while they work in very bad conditions, etc.
reply

Thank you. This is very educational.
I hope everyone realizes that this is a well prepared overview.
The details are also important for Americans to be aware of.
I m grateful to have received a real education in California.

I know it's not really the point of the video, but holy cow that background music is incredible! The animation too. It's honestly hard to pay attention to the content when the animation and music are so distractingly awesome.
reply

People forget that the even when slavery ended in the south, it still did slavery for a time during the reconstruction. What the south did was share cropping which was kinda like slavery.
reply

Slavery has not ended in the United States. The Prison Industrial Complex has enslaved millions of people and is perfectly legal due to the Amendment not banning slavery for prisoners.
reply

It existed WAY before white people and will continue WAY after white people stopped with it. Somehow it was only a problem when white people did it. Mass psychosis in the world.
