THE BIGGEST POSSIBLE BALL OF SUCK: The story of Atlantic slavery.

You probably think you know the history of slavery from, like, Roots or whatever. I know that I did. But I learned a lot while researching this episode, and the most important thing I learned is a recurring theme on Crash Course World History: No one is exempt from either the triumphs or the abominations of human history. 

I hope you enjoy today’s episode. Let me know. Thanks.

  25. shevralay said: It didn’t disagree with anything I was taught about slavery by Senegalese people while living in Senegal, so I’d say it was sensitively handled. Good episode!
