The Jewish Transatlantic Slave Trade

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Historical consensus shows that Jewish people played a marginal and minor role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Mainstream historians and institutions have thoroughly debunked theories alleging that Jewish merchants dominated or masterminded the trade, concluding that such claims are historically false and antisemitic.

Like people of various religious and ethnic backgrounds in Europe and the Americas, some Jewish individuals participated in the colonial economy, which included owning and trading enslaved people. However, their level of involvement was proportional to or lower than their small demographic presence in those societies.

The misconception that Jewish people masterminded or dominated the Transatlantic Slave Trade stems primarily from a 1991 publication titled The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews released by the Nation of Islam. 

Mainstream historians from the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery and universities worldwide reviewed the text and found that it relied on highly selective quotes, exaggerated statistics, and a misrepresentation of historical records to manufacture a false historical narrative. The American Historical Association subsequently passed a formal resolution condemning any claims of a disproportionate Jewish role in the exploitation of slave labor as historically groundless.

The Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition is part of the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale University. Since its founding in 1998, the Gilder Lehrman Center has been dedicated to the investigation and dissemination of knowledge concerning slavery and its legacies across all borders and all time, from the distant past through the present day.
