I have to agree. I only learned this peripherally having grown up here in the states, but my Mom's side came over for the original wave of Jamestown while my father's side arrived as Irish slaves. I learned about it when Mom began to research the family's geneology (actually got invited to join the Daughter's of the American Revolution) and have been reading some book son the issue. Boy, the Irish really have a good case for being abused, yet how often do you ever hear about it?
I guess you don't know your Irish history Mr Stewart. The brits enslaved more Irish folk then pocs... brits killed more Irish then any other peoples including the Spanish and French.
What passes for "history" these days is appalling. Too many hear about the Irish slave trade and then hear CNN talk about how it is "fake news" and take that at face value. There's a reason for "the troubles" over there in the UK.
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

ReplyDeleteedutcher, indeed they did.
