The Slave Wars - Dr. History
Chapter One: Introduction to Slave Wars
The Zanj Rebellion: The Zanj Rebellion of 869-883 AD. This major uprising in Iraq against the Arab Abbasid Caliphate by enslaved Africans. The Zanj (Tanzanian) slaves revolted against their Arab rulers, led by Ali bin Muhammad. They succeeded in capturing the city of Basra and other big towns, and formed their own nation, called the State of the Blacks.
In the end, they were defeated but they had ten successful years of freedom.
Slave wars seems an unlikely term to use as a header for this discussion. Slaves or enslaved people, the correct term to use nowadays, are usually described as defeated
and fearful
and are seen as trying to remain invisible and keep out of trouble with those who own them. Nonetheless, the term slave wars
means just that. It’s a series of rebellions and uprisings throughout history by enslaved people seeking to free themselves from their oppressors. In desperation, they were forced into brutal and violent conflict. There were seldom happy endings, but the rebellion paid off in the long run, and the terrible scourge of slavery was abolished bit by bit.
Throughout human history, people have enslaved and abused other people, and enslaved people have thrown off their fears, and their inherent human instinct to survive and embarked on a fight for freedom. Slave wars played a critical role in the fight for the equality and freedom of enslaved people. These wars have also significantly contributed to the broad and ongoing struggle for social justice and human rights worldwide.
