According to tradition, Ham was the ancestor of the Blacks and other peoples.The Torah speaks of three branches of post-Flood mankind: Ham, Yefet (Jafeth), and Shem (the three sons of Noah; Genesis ch.10).

The children of Ham include the ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Nubians, Bantu (and sub-Saharan Africans in general), Canaanites and many others.
The children of Yefet are (broadly speaking) the Europeans (Caucasians).
The children of Shem include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, and other Semitic peoples. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Hebrews, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others.

What happened to noahs son ham?

Noah's son Ham is primarily known for an incident described in the Book of Genesis, where he saw his father Noah naked and drunken after the flood. Instead of covering him, Ham told his brothers, Shem and Japheth, who then covered Noah without looking at him. As a result of Ham's actions, Noah cursed Ham's son Canaan, declaring that he would be a servant to his brothers, which has led to various interpretations and implications throughout history.

How was the myth of Noah's curse used to subjugate the people of African descent?

The curse of Ham is a biblical fallacy perpetrated by people who wanted to justify the enslavement of black people. The premise was that Noah cursed Ham, his black son, and doomed him to a life of servitude to others (slavery). In actuality, there is no curse of Ham, who was Ethiopian, but a curse of Canaan, who was not.
