“The Real History of Slavery” by Matt Walsh (Dropped Feb 18, 2026 – 1.5–2 hours of straight fire)

🔥 THE MAIN RED PILL (in one sentence) Slavery wasn’t America’s “unique sin.” It was humanity’s default setting for thousands of years — every race, every continent did it on a massive scale. America got the tiny scraps… then helped end it.

📊 THE NUMBERS THAT BLOW UP THE LIE • Africans shipped across the Atlantic: ~12.5 million • Only 3% (≈ 472,000) ever landed in what became the USA • Most went to Brazil (5.4 million) and Caribbean sugar hellholes

🩸 THE REAL VILLAINS MATT SPOTLIGHTS 1. African Kingdoms — especially Dahomey (modern Benin) • Ran a nonstop slave empire for centuries • Legendary all-female “Dahomey Amazons” raided villages nonstop • Kings like Gezo bragged slavery was the “ruling principle” of their people • Annual customs: 500+ people slaughtered every year • Skulls used as building bricks • Rivers of blood • Disembowelments, ant torture, mass executions • Africans sold their own people to Europeans (they couldn’t sail the ships) • Unsellable slaves? Tortured for fun

2. Islamic / Arab Slave Trade • 17 million Black Africans over 1,300+ years • 80–90% of males castrated (most died) • Barbary pirates (Muslim corsairs) kidnapped 1.5 million White Christian slaves (1500–1800) • From Ireland, Iceland, Italy, England • Whole villages dragged off • Women & kids sold as concubines/sex slaves • Men chained to galleys until they rotted • One night in 1631: Baltimore, Ireland — 100 people gone

3. Ancient & Global Slavery • Babylon (slaves on clay tablets from 3300 BC) • Egypt, Greece (Athens = 35% slaves), Rome (2–3 million slaves + crucifixion for runaways) • Sparta declared annual “war” on their own helots • Native Americans (ritual torture + cannibalism) • Vikings raiding Ireland • English enslaving the Irish • The list is endless

4. White Slavery in America • 60–70% of early White colonists arrived in chains (indentured servants, convicts, kidnapped kids) • Brutal death rates on ships • Black & White slaves worked side-by-side, rebelled together, intermingled • Peak 1860: Only 1.2% of U.S. population owned slaves • Thousands of owners were free Blacks (one owned 63) and Native tribes (Cherokees, etc.)

⚡ THE SPICY BITS THAT TRIGGER THE BLUE-HAIRS • Matt shows raw Dahomey footage: mass sacrifice, skull palaces, “sailing canoes in blood” • Calls out historians for sneaky passive voice (“slaves were obtained…”) to hide African agency • U.S. slavery was actually milder: • Slaves lived longer (avg 40 years) • After 1808 import ban, they reproduced at high rates • Owners had real incentive to keep them healthy • Compare that to Brazil/Caribbean death camps or Dahomey nightmare

🏆 THE FINAL PUNCHLINE No society on Earth abolished slavery until European Christian nations did it: • Britain’s West Africa Squadron • U.S. Civil War (400k Union dead) • French troops ended Dahomey’s horrors in 1894 (brought hospitals, schools, actual civilization)

Reparations? Laughable when every group enslaved and was enslaved. Documentary ends teasing next one: “The Real History of the American Indian” (peaceful noble savages? Yeah, right 😂)

VERDICT Raw. Fact-heavy. Zero apologies. Loaded with archival footage, direct quotes, and receipts. If you’re tired of the 1619-only selective history, this is the antidote. Matt’s core message: “Slavery is human history’s original sin — NOT America’s. And the West ended the shitshow.” Watch it before the censors memory-hole it. PURE FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you very much and God bless you.

They told you slavery was America's unique sin. They lied. Matt Walsh exposes how African kingdoms enslaved millions, Islamic pirates raided Europe for white slaves, and the East African trade dwarfed the Atlantic. The truth about who enslaved whom, and who actually ended it. This is the real history of slavery.

I guess I went to a different school. We learned about the history of slavery back in the 1960s.

Honestly, I don’t know why we keep beating these dead horses. The only good answers are: Slavery is and was bad. We stopped it, at a significant cost to our country. It’s been 160 years and it’s time we focused on getting everyone moving forward.

A lot of these “facts” sound like excuses. There are no excuses to be made.

"Kingdom Coming" lyrics by Henry Clay 1861

Say, darkies, hab you seen de massa, wid de muffstash on his face

Go long de road some time dis mornin', like he gwine to leab de place?

He seen a smoke way up de ribber, whar de Linkum gunboats lay;

He took his hat, and lef' berry sudden, and I spec' he's run away!

CHORUS: De massa run, ha, ha! De darkey stay, ho, ho! It mus' be now de kindom coming, an' de year ob Jubilo!

He six foot one way, two foot tudder, and he weigh tree hundred pound

His coat so big, he couldn't pay the tailor, an' it won't go halfway round

He drill so much dey call him Cap'n, an' he got so drefful tanned

I spec' he try an' fool dem Yankees for to tink he's contraband

CHORUS

De darkeys feel so lonesome libbing in de loghouse on de lawn

Dey move dar tings into massa's parlor for to keep it while he's gone

Dar's wine an' cider in de kitchen, an' de darkeys dey'll have some;

I s'pose dey'll all be cornfiscated when de Linkum sojers come

CHORUS

De obserseer he make us trouble, an' he dribe us round a spell;

We lock him up in de smokehouse cellar, wid de key trown in de well

De whip is lost, de han'cuff broken, but de massa'll hab his pay;

He's ole enough, big enough, ought to known better dan to went an' run away

CHORUS

except for the fact, that without slavery there would of been no economic incentive to keep defeated tribe members alive. So every descendant of slaves today owes their entire family lines life to the practice. Now they just slaughter them, is that really better?

“Peak 1860: Only 1.2% of U.S. population owned slaves “

As usual, a story on slavery is presented with only part of the story, leaving out more important facts that do not look good for blacks.

Here is the rest of the story: In the 1840 census, only 1.4% of whites owned blacks while 24% of blacks owned blacks.
