here’s a site that documents somewhat the history of irish slavery, a fact that many on the left want to whitewash and claim was nothing more than ‘indentured servantude’

https://newspunch.com/almost-one-million-irish-slaves-at-risk-of-being-scrubbed-from-history/

some places these irish slaves were sent to- the slaves made up over 65% of the populations there- They were ‘cheaper to import’ than black slaves, and so the loss when being beaten to death by the owners were less than the loss they would take if they did the same to a black slave- the children of irish slaves were also kept as slaves- as property- and were treated just as cruelly as their parents- likely even worse because they didn’t cost the slave owner any money to purchase

it is filthy of the left to try to whitewash irish slavery by claiming they were ‘indentured servants’ - and downplaying what actually took place- they are playing one race against another- in an effort to support their ‘reparations for me but not for thee’ agenda- As I mentioned in other posts- many races all down through history were bought and sold as slaves- Christians and Jews all down through history were bought and sold as slaves and were very brutally treated as well- But the left think, and portray the agenda that only black slaves matter-

Considering how short life times were then and an indenture being 7 years dying in servitude wasn’t hard to do. Also indentures could be extended for infractions, a few of those and your enslaved for life.
