What is Maafa

This chapter focuses on the African resistance. After some Africans were apprehended, at least 10% of them rebelled – usually en masse and en transit to their final destination. In this chapter, the ship's design as well as its carriage is explained. Slave mutiny/mutinies is/are defined. A handful of significant slave mutinies are discussed such as Amistad and the Meermin as well as the outcomes of said mutinies. These examples are acknowledged, and they are discussed in order to show that many Africans fought for their freedom even after they were captured. In other words, there was a resistance that points to the fact that these Africans knew they were captured, knew this was not African slavery (i.e., indentureship), and knew that they did not want to be any White man's slave. Finally, solutions and recommendations will be discussed followed by a conclusion.
