[Albion Wilde]

I was stunned to learn that the most slavery in fairly recent history was of the Irish (by the English). Far exceeded the number of black slaves.... The Irish were sold into slavery all over the world.. the numbers were staggering.

Having both Irish and English forebearers, I'll have to write myself a reparations check.

This is one of the great accounts of the oppression of the Irish and their eventual revolution, written by Thomas Keneally, the same author who wrote Schindler's List: The Great Shame: And the Triumph of the Irish in the English-Speaking World"

Thank you so much for referring me to that book. I will certainly trot down to the library and check it out.
