I’m Irish, and my ancestors were sold into slavery. Most everyones ancestors were slaves at one point.

Yes, almost the entire European peoples were enslaved for hundreds of years circa 700AD until 1600ish. Instead of slavery they called it serfdom.

Just about everyone that got here prior to the civil war was an indentured servant (slave for an agreed amount of time).
