Historians studying the Netherlands’ history sometimes refer to the 17th century as the “Dutch Golden Age.” The term refers to an era of unprecedented wealth in the Dutch Republic, when artists such as Rembrandt van Rijn and Johannes Vermeer painted masterpieces and intellectual life flourished in cities like Amsterdam and Delft. But this glittery phrase obscures a dark truth: Many of the republic’s wealthiest residents made their fortunes through the enslavement, sale, and exploitation of African people. However, unlike the Portuguese, the Spanish, Britain, the French, and the USA whose involvement in the barbaric act of the slave trade is well-known, the Dutch hope to bury this truth and continue to deny. Just like the Argentines wiping out their black population and keeping the records off history, the Dutch want the world to forget they ever played a part. Infact, Dutch hagiographers busy themselves by blaming the victims of slavery, claiming that African chiefs sold their people to God-fearing traders from Europe, in a bid to make slavery seem like a fair deal. While the small country has done a great deal of hiding its dark past, this video is going to reveal all the dirty secrets, and brutality of Dutch slavery that once wiped out African civilizations, tore families apart, and treated human life like cargo to be bought and sold. We are going to reveal the steps Dutch has taken to make restitutions for its dark past. 🤝 We need your support! Please consider buying us a coffee to help sustain and grow our content.
