Thomas Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence contained 28 grievances against King George III — not 27. The final grievance, the one Congress cut before signing, accused the British king of waging cruel war against human nature by trafficking enslaved Africans across the Atlantic, forcing slavery onto unwilling American colonists, and then inciting those same enslaved people to rise up and kill their enslavers. Did King George III and the British monarchy actually bear responsibility for slavery in the 13 colonies? Or was Jefferson's grievance a strategic sleight of hand — an attempt to pin a uniquely American system onto the crown he wanted to escape? Historian Brooke Newman, author of The Crown's Silence: The Hidden History of the British Monarchy and Slavery, joins us to find out. She traces the British monarchy's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade from Queen Elizabeth I through King George III, examines what Jefferson got right and what he got wrong, and delivers her verdict on one of the most explosive what-ifs in United States history.

The United Nations has voted to recognise the transatlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity”, after a proposal from Ghana. It comes after years of campaigning from African and Caribbean nations, calling for reparations for the largest long-distance forced movement of people in recorded history.But not all governments supported the vote. The US, Israel and Argentina voted against it and 52 countries - mostly members of the EU - decided not to take part. The wording of the resolution has received criticism, with some arguing it implies that some crimes against humanity are worse than others.So what does this vote mean - and how could it change the way we look at this chapter of history in the future?BBC Africa reporter Daniel Dadzie joins us for this episode to explain it all - along with two students based in Accra, Malisecullen and Abena. We also hear from Meghan in the US, who shares her thoughts on her country rejecting the vote.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Iqra Farooq Producers: Mora Morrison, William Lee Adams and Chelsea Coates Editor: Verity Wilde

3.25.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Ghana’s Prez Confronts Slave Trade Legacy. Reparations Push Grows. Trump Tariffs Hit Small Biz Ghana's President John Mahama led a wreath-laying ceremony at the Africa Burial Ground National Monument in New York to pay tribute to Africans who were enslaved and buried there, part of a continued effort for reparations. We'll speak to a Howard University Professor of American Foreign Policy next. Small businesses are taking major hits from Donald Trump's Tarriffs, and a report from the Small Business Majority's Network shows rising costs, declining revenue, and growing concerns about reduced consumer spending and corporate monopolies. We'll speak with a small business owner and a member of the Small Business Majority's National Council to break down these findings. It is now Day 26 as the War with Iran continues. Iran has rejected a plan to end the war from Donald-the-con Trump. Coming up - we'll talk about what exactly that plan is. And, looking to trace your roots and find your family's lineage?

In this Short Suck, we dive into the Haitian Revolution - the only truly successful large-scale slave revolt in human history - where the enslaved people of Saint-Domingue rose up, burned France's “cash machine” to the ground, and then fought France, Spain, and Britain for more than a decade to create Haiti.

Many papers in economics have shown the scale of the damage that slavery did to Africa, but can we also make the argument that the slave trade helped cause Europe's economic development? Ellora Derenoncourt of Princeton is the author of a recently published paper which uses new methods and new data to investigate this question.  She talks to Tim Phillips about what historical records can and cannot tell us about that link, and what this data tells us about the growth of European port cities.

Slavery has been a ubiquitous practice throughout much of world history–and the Muslim world was no exception. Slave soldiers, concubines, and eunuchs can be found throughout Muslim writings—which, as Justin Marozzi points out in his book Captives and Companions: A History of Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Islamic World (Pegasus Books, 2025), ends up giving us a selective and narrow view of who slaves were, and what they did. Justin tries to dive into this history–sometimes very patchy history–to figure out the full extent of slavery in the Muslim world, from the very start of Muslim society, through the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary Pirates, to abolition and the final decision by Mauritania to abolish slavery in 1981. Justin Marozzi is a former Financial Times and Economist foreign correspondent. He is also the author of several books, including Baghdad: City of Peace, City of Blood (Allen Lane: 2014) and Islamic Empires: The Cities that Shaped the Modern World (Pegasus Books: 2020).

Most of the time, when we think about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, thoughts of stolen ancestors and the exchange of goods comes to mind. And of course, the primary basis of the Slave Trade was for the trafficking of human beings from Africa, which was the major economic driver for slavery and the free labor that came from it. Of course, the commerce connection is the strongest element, but the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade impacted several other facets across the globe, including religion. Listen in on a fascinating conversation on how the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade affected how and when the birth and blending of religious practices came to America.

In this episode we talk about the central role of Sierra Leone in ending the slave trade.

We review the 2024 Democratic National Convention and its emphasis on “unity,” “joy” and “multicultural patriotism” as Trump and the GOP intensify their voter-suppression gamble on selling a vision of a white nationalist patriarchy and the international landscape that could alter the race continues to shift. The third Saturday in Black August comes one day after the United Nations' “International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and Its Abolition,” established in 1998 to mark the night of August 22-23 1791, which marks the beginning of the Haitian Revolution.

In the 18th century, when the triangular trade between Europe, Africa and the Americas was booming, Denmark and Sweden established footholds in the West Indies. They tried to make money on trade, buying and selling sugar, tobacco, cotton–and people.

The spectre of the EnlightenmentWhat the Enlightenment a net positive or a net negative? Or is that the wrong question, and should we look at it simply as a historical period?Join Professor of History Aviva Chomsky as she dissects one of the most important periods in modern history from the lens of a critical historian. The Enlightenment was not just a period that produced thoughts and ideas - it was an excuse and a reordering of world hierarchies. Do you agree with her conclusions?

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next.

Has our focus on the impact of the transatlantic slave trade blinded us to the diversity and complexity of Africa's past? That's one of the arguments at the heart of Luke Pepera's new book Motherland, which spans 500,000 years of the continent's history. Luke speaks to Matt Elton about some of the stories that shine the spotlight back on African people.

Appleton Oaksmith was a swashbuckling Civil War-era sea captain whose life intersected with some of the most important moments, movements, and individuals of the mid-19th century, from the California Gold Rush, filibustering schemes in Nicaragua, Cuban liberation, and the Civil War and Reconstruction. But in his life we also see the extraordinary lengths the Lincoln Administration went to destroy the illegal trans-Atlantic slave trade. That's because he spent years working as an outlaw mariner for the Confederacy and later against the Klan.Oaksmith lived in the murky underworld of New York City, where federal marshals plied the docks in lower Manhattan in search of evidence of slave trading. Once they suspected Oaksmith, federal authorities had him arrested and convicted, but in 1862 he escaped from jail and became a Confederate blockade-runner in Havana. The Lincoln Administration tried to have him kidnapped in violation of international law, but the attempt was foiled. Always claiming innocence, Oaksmith spent the next decade in exile until he received a presidential pardon from U.S. Grant, at which point he moved to North Carolina and became an anti-Klan politician.To look at this story is today's guest, Jonathan White, author of “Shipwrecked: A True Civil War Story of Mutinies, Jailbreaks, Blockade-Running, and the Slave Trade.”
