We often hear that slavery was a “Southern issue,” but history tells a different story — one where the Northern states were deeply entangled in and profited from slavery, even as they claimed moral superiority.

In this video, we reveal how banks, shipbuilders, insurance companies, textile mills, and wealthy Northern families financed, insured, and profited from the slave trade, turning a blind eye to the suffering that fueled their economic growth.

From New York and Rhode Island to Massachusetts and Connecticut, we uncover how Northern industries depended on enslaved labor and how slavery helped build the Northern economy long before the Civil War.

📌 Topics include:

The Northern financing of slave ships

How Wall Street was built on slave-backed wealth

Northern textile mills and Southern cotton

Insurance companies profiting off enslaved bodies

Why the North wasn’t as “abolitionist” as they claim

This is the side of history that rarely gets taught — but must be heard.
