Journey Through Time

This is a fascinating piece of history very well presented, well worth a listen.

I have enjoyed listening & understanding parts of American history have not been exposed to before. And to be honest, narrators are important. I find them to be clear, pleasant and easy to listen to for the full length of time

Excellently balanced writing… voices meld well together..imho…it’s a solid pod….thank you all for your work.

History is routinely rewritten or censored. These experts aim to expose the forces at work as sentinel moments occur. Slavery in America and British Empire is often characterised as Whites owning Blacks for a few centuries and it’s seen as evil. The practice was ended primarily because Europeans, especially British, thought it unethical or immoral. (The British Royal Navy inhibited, with effort, transatlantic slave trade. Arab trade slowed later.) Yet Africans owned Africans as slaves for DOZENS OF CENTURIES (as far as I understand). Slavery was an ordinary, acceptable and moral way of life. ie Enslaving fellow Africans and selling them to foreigners was an acceptable method for making a living for centuries. So why and how is slave trade different when Europeans and Americans get involved? Africans enslave each other routinely and history seems to ignore this. Africans sell their fellow Africans to foreigners and history takes notice. What’s up with that? I can’t find podcast type discussions of this topic or those that are similar and wish there were.
