I’m an Irish man and i was taught this in school. Today it has been removed from the history books and we Irish are now considered “white” and held responsible for everything that label now implies. Thank you for telling the truth about us.
My Irish ancestors suffered more than any other group who came to the new world. Trying to pretend that the Irish were oppressors is beyond ridiculous.
What do you mean "was"? Just because they call it human trafficking now doesn't change the reality of that exploit. Enjoy chocolate? Look up who picks the stuff? Like Apple products, look up who makes that stuff. It's not was, it's is, and still everywhere.

What's crazy is that slavery was the norm before the idea of democracy and constitutional republic was established. The conqueror was the master and the conquered was the slave. From Asia to Africa to Europe to the Americas, slavery was practiced everywhere. If it wasn’t for American constitutional amendment that abolished slavery it would have been still in practice.

The English of the 17th and 18th centuries considered all Catholics as non Christian so the Irish and Highland Scots were targeted for slavery and deportation. Since they weren't bought like the Africans were they were subject to a LOT of abuse and even killed for infractions of the rules for slaves. Many of the Irish and Scots were sent to the Caribbean plantations where they were bred with African slaves to obtain a heartier slave. There are still many blacks in the Caribbean with Irish and Scottish sir names.
@@fyrdman2185 the Highlanders were Catholic and therefore targets of the British crown, just like the Irish. Lowland Scots were Protestant and they are probably the ones you are thinking of.
You're spot on about slavery being a world wide practise. Ireland used to send ships to Wales to capture slaves. A young man was taken as a slave from Wales to Ireland, he then managed to escape back to Wales. Years later he was sent from Wales back to Ireland by the Pope to bring Christianity to Ireland. He later was declared Saint Patrick, patron saint of Ireland.

@@cryptozoomauler5505 Irish people were against slavery of all forms was one of the earliest countries in the world to abolish it with the roman catholic church states of Venice and The Vatican. Under Penal laws Irish people could not own property so having slaves was not possible in English rule. What made black slaves unique was a change in law that saw them go from indentured servants under British law to slaves under African law in the 1760's in a court ruling that set precedence. The difference being African slaves were slaves for life thereafter.
Umm they were called 'Indentured servants", yes they could buy their way out eventually still not free, and i don't know who you talk to, but their ignorance of history is outstanding... they existed ,,, probably just easier to say of blacks were in that Situation .. altering history helps no one
@@TexanforHarrisWalzyou realize there has been centuries of life on earth right? I think you Irish slave deniers just look at ONE century 1800s and make your decisions based on that.

Check out a book Stolen Village. It's about a small Irish village on the coast. They were raided by Barbary pirates - later to become muslims - in 1651. The Stolen Village: Baltimore and the Barbary Pirates written by Des Ekin.
'It was voluntary indentured servitude.' Some people say. Oh, sure it was. You'd like us to believe that. Sort of waters down and sugar coats a bitter reality, doesn't it?
right ! Cause being forced to leave your family and never see them again and possibly die in captivity is “better” then slavery. It’s the same thing. Different name because slavery was “illegal” but clearly still practiced!
@@mikes51501 Every races were mistreated at one point in history. Muslix killed 1.5 million withes in slavery in the middle ages.. But strangely enough non whites don't talk about it.. they rather feel oppressed and blame everything on whites. You did not understand the quote?
Right now there's some black Americans and their fellow professional victim class peers debating on who besides RUclips will they complain to so they can report they don't "feel safe" cause this video "takes away" from Black history month.
I like that you want people to be autonomous, and I understand that. But remember, the effects of that part of history is still very much in effect and even the descendants of those enslaved Irish partake in those racist ideologies. You need to take the full picture in comsideration
Slavery existed for thousands of years before blacks were brought to the American colonies. During that time, outside of Africa where blacks enslaved other blacks, most slaves were white, enslaved by other whites. Irish slavery was just one small part of that reality.

I was surprised to learn that all the help to feed the Irish during their famine was sitting in their landlord London banks. It was one of the roughest seas in a century and they where too weak to make seaweed eatable at the end Best definition ever of move around, start swimming, get out!

I grew up in a poor neighbourghood whit a lot of drugs and criminality and some of my whites and blacks friends become excelent professionals and great human beings.
Irish slaves are a really blown out concept when slavery is a universal blight every society has suffered from. Coming from a family in Carlow that was extremely poor, the suffering Ireland endured was overwhelming, but public consciousness really warps it to pity. Most don't know what laws and discrimination were in effect to form an educated belief on the matter, so they choose to cut to conclusions and claim a genocide. Life was very different and unfortunately we carry weight when discussing these topics instead of thinking it through.
They also used to take women who couldn’t speak English cause they were speaking gaelic and burnt them as witches the slave women in the states. Or “servants” I guess you’re not a slave unless you’re darker and I’m not very politically correct but it’s in plenty of books written pre 1950s.
Not politically correct to point out the truth. The Irish were the first slaves, not Black people. When I was working on the Island of Antigua I took a tour of the island with a local guide. We went to the former sugar cane factories, saw the slave housing & we were shown the place many slaves committed suicide when they couldn't take the horrible treatment any longer. He pointed out that the original slaves were Irish & Native Americans but they died too quickly in the climate which was the reason they switched to Africans. The climate was much more similar to what they were used to in Africa. The point is that slavery had nothing to do with skin color, any psychopath that thought it was O.K. to enslave people really didn't care about that & only wanted free labor. The Irish suffered horrible abuse over a thousand years, mostly by the English. When they came to the new world it was the same.
You are aware that pre-christian Ireland had slaves. St Patrick (the Patron Saint of Ireland) was actually Welsh. He was taken by a Celtic raiding party and brought to Ireland as a slave, he escaped, went to Rome and returned to bring Christianity to Ireland. I often feel this was when things started going downhill for the Irish...
Also the first slave in the English colonies was an Irishman aboard the Mayflower. What this leaves out is that the Celtic Irish invaded Romanized Briton centuries before the first Viking raid - Saint Patrick was taken in a raid when he was 16 years old and was a slave in Ireland for 6 years until he escaped and fled back to Briton.
The Irish used to take Britons as slaves, st Patrick was one such slave taken by Irish raiders. The Irish weren't really slaves but indentured servants, and it wasn't unique to the Irish, there were Welsh, Scottish and English indentured servants too. The difference was Irish 'slavery' was used as a talking point by irish nationalists to get support
Now days, in these modern times of equity, etc. People have turned themselves into voluntary Wage Slaves to banks and other financial institutions. Once upon a time, within my life time, a man went to work and the income he earned could support a wife and his children. He was able to purchase a car and buy a modest home on a mortgage and pay it off in about 15 years. So that by the time his children left home in their early 20s, he paid off the home and enjoyed many years of reasonable financial freedom and could look forward to retirement. Then houses got bigger, the prices went up, the mortgages got larger and now there is no end in sight to financial freedom. So now people will spend their entire working life, paying off the mortgage, paying personal loans and paying credit cards and filling the house up with more and more consumer goods. So they are working their entire lives and paying most of their earnings to the banks and finance companies. People in the Middle Ages worked as simple farmers and paid the overlord 50% or even two thirds of what they grew as rent to the Baron or Duke. Now the banks are he Barons and overlords, and the work force are Wage Slaves.
The man who became known as St. Patrick was English, and was a slave of the Irish when he was a boy. So, it is safe to say the Irish inslaved people as well.
Everyone enslaved everyone back in the day basically.. not only for purposes of labour but to bring fresh DNA into isolated areas so they wouldn't have as many ill effects of inbreeding.. it still goes on to this day in some places..
Every people group has enslaved others or been enslaved by others at some point in history. Scapegoatinf one ethnicity for all slavery while it still occurs across the world today, and is perpetuated by many of the actual most prolific slaver cultures in history, is both racist and utterly misguided. Instead of attacking those whose ancestors once owned slaves, we should be trying to free those people who are atill in bondage today.
I was once a slave, at least that's the example I found in a huge unabridged (Webster's?) dictionary when I was assigned to the Pentagon. "Slaves in the Pentagon worked nights and through the holidays to revamp the budget - T.R. Phillips"
I would be hard pressed to find any people, any where, who where not slaves at some point in time. Consider St. Patrick--home to the British Isles and becoming a slave of the Irish.
Let's not forget that the Irish were prolific slavers themselves..... St Patrick being the most famous. Indentured servitude was indeed a 'great' way to get around anti slavery laws and was used extensively across the British Isles including Ireland.
Watch the movie, captain blood. It's a pirate movie. It shows you right there where they came from. They were not voluntary and dentured servants. They were sold. They could not work their way out. One of the most famous horses in history, the Morgan was created and bred by an Irish slthey. Use them to pull the wood, the trees out of the woods. That's why they had that big horse. These Biggers in the cloud stales. From what I understand they're almost extinct now.There's no use for them and people haven't taken care of them
The Gaels enslaved all the natives of Ireland in their slow conquest of Ireland the native tribes of Ireland, often with branches in Britain and Europe such as Brigantes, Dumnoni, Monapi and Belgae were conquered or forced to pay the dreadful boruma and starved. The currency of the conquerors was the Cumail or slave girl. Incidently St Bridgets mothers name in Gaelic accounts. In Welsh and other accounts she is Dumnonian/Leigin royalty.
Does the understanding that slavery is wrong constitute as as sign of some form of change/adaptation in humans? because they had no issues with it forever. Even today people are still doing it but in our culture it is considered psychopathic to take a person against their will and keep them in your home and force them to serve you. We think that is insane but to them in the past; they lived next to people who owned people and likely let them babysit their kids.
My ancestors were sent to Talbot County, Maryland in the late 1600s as soon as called indentured servants!!! Slavery??? They ultimately mixed with English families and became farmers near Easton. Slainte!!!!
The Irish had it so rough. I’m American obviously but ethnically I’m part Russian (East Slav, Chuvash, Tartar, Cossack,) mixed Sicilian, and Irish and Welsh, as well as some Cherokee (only like 1/8th). The word “Slave” actually comes from the “Slav” ethnicity, doesn’t it? Because they were always enslaved in the early days. So I’m not saying some black slaves didn’t have it bad in the old days, but tbh, they certainly didn’t have it the worst either. Slavery for blacks ended in 1865 (the union had it longer than the confederacy actually) and then the north just started using the Irish illegally as slaves in HORRENDOUSLY bad conditions, probably well into the 1930’s. My Russian great grandparents were essentially slaves in the coal mines of Brookside and Cardiff, Alabama, as well as their parents, who were killed while in the coal mine with other slavs by explosives, while the Anglo workers were all “coincidentally” off that day. Hmmm. So yeah, pretty much every group had it had, not just blacks. Sorry to ruin the ethnocentric victim mentality for “the worlds most important group.”
As an Irish woman with rich Irish history. I say rich history because there is the Irish privileged class who are descendants of prodesant Englishman People who were not persucuted, singled out and punished in Irish sociaty Throughout history, the privileged class in Ireland are the ones writing our history, and Irish history is different in their eyes. It is similar to America that has a thing called white privilege. The Irish have people called brithish privilege. To learn more about this, you do not need to look far it is in our history. Some war tactics used by british intelligence were to persucute and devide the Irish through class and religion, leading Irish descendants to Catholic and English descendants to protestant. The after effects of centuries of colonisation are clear to see today in modern Ireland. Slavery and the genocide of the Irish were real. The privileged class wrote Irish history. I think it's time for a change. Whereas the irish man tells our story.
The institution of slavery in Ireland did not begin with the Vikings. It was part of native Irish culture from time immemorial. St. Patrick was brought to Ireland initially as a slave.

@@cryptozoomauler5505no one mentioned the irish selling irish if you have to pull an argument from your ass you have no argument.
@aheroyaheroyalproductions7631 I thought we were talking about Ireland here.
@@cryptozoomauler5505 Irish people were against slavery of all forms was one of the earliest countries in the world to abolish it with the roman catholic church states of Venice and The Vatican. Under Penal laws Irish people could not own property so having slaves was not possible in English rule. What made black slaves unique was a change in law that saw them go from indentured servants under British law to slaves under African law in the 1760's in a court ruling that set precedence. The difference being African slaves were slaves for life thereafter.
We've all been slaves in one form or another through out history. Thank you for the lesson.
Greetings from San Diego CA, sincerely Jose Silva thanks.
Hello there!
thank you , ive been telling people this for a while now
Sadly, there are children who are taught there WERE no Irish slaves..
Because there were none. Even native Irish scholars agree this new narrative is fake.
Umm they were called 'Indentured servants", yes they could buy their way out eventually still not free, and i don't know who you talk to, but their ignorance of history is outstanding... they existed ,,, probably just easier to say of blacks were in that Situation .. altering history helps no one
@@TexanforHarrisWalzyou realize there has been centuries of life on earth right? I think you Irish slave deniers just look at ONE century 1800s and make your decisions based on that. If it wasn’t happening at the same time as the African slave traders were selling out their own people yall don’t count it?
Check out a book Stolen Village. It's about a small Irish village on the coast. They were raided by Barbary pirates - later to become muslims - in 1651. The Stolen Village: Baltimore and the Barbary Pirates written by Des Ekin.
'It was voluntary indentured servitude.' Some people say.
Oh, sure it was. You'd like us to believe that. Sort of waters down and sugar coats a bitter reality, doesn't it?
right ! Cause being forced to leave your family and never see them again and possibly die in captivity is “better” then slavery. It’s the same thing. Different name because slavery was “illegal” but clearly still practiced!
I wonder how far down the algorithm RUclips has buried this channel? Great work, exposing real history
So there’s a false history?
The privileged ones don't talk about it
What do you mean?
@@mikes51501
Every races were mistreated at one point in history. Muslix killed 1.5 million withes in slavery in the middle ages.. But strangely enough non whites don't talk about it.. they rather feel oppressed and blame everything on whites. You did not understand the quote?
Maybe because the transatlantic one was deadlier in terms of scale
@@1Yh8HHbecause they have everything to blame on whites you want them to blame Indians?
Thanks for this introduction Colin.
Best Wishes to everyone.
Same to you!
Awesome work again, sir. Thank you, love and respect from Calgary ❤️🤙🏻

Valhalla Rising with Mads Miikkelson was an amazing movie.
It sure was.. on several levels.
I agree. Very trippy…literally.
I’m a bit surprised that he left out the Barbary pirates 🤔
We have a show on them, but focused upon those that came to the New World
Thanks again Mr Heaton 👍
Any time!
Right now there's some black Americans and their fellow professional victim class peers debating on who besides RUclips will they complain to so they can report they don't "feel safe" cause this video "takes away" from Black history month.
Probably 🤔
Screw them
@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL God bless you good Sir. Screw them indeed.
Amazing! I’ve been telling my subscribers to check out your channel. It’s such valuable information.
But the media told me that slavery was only ever done against those from Africa.
And they would never lie to me.
Slavery has existed from the beginning of time across humanity, but only one group feels entitled enough to expect reparations
Cough cough black Americans cough
because they have been programmed that way from birth
I like that you want people to be autonomous, and I understand that. But remember, the effects of that part of history is still very much in effect and even the descendants of those enslaved Irish partake in those racist ideologies. You need to take the full picture in comsideration
I can’t believe that they didn’t pound this in our heads at public schools😂😂
Slavery existed for thousands of years before blacks were brought to the American colonies. During that time, outside of Africa where blacks enslaved other blacks, most slaves were white, enslaved by other whites. Irish slavery was just one small part of that reality.
Thanks for another informative and interesting video
It was slavery if one was forced against their will, and many were
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNELIt's one reason of many that Oliver Cromwell's name is so hated in Ireland.
Thank you 😊❤
The serenity prayer.
As my kids are being propagandized by our state schools, Im proud to support real historians that are Vets and care about the truth and this country. I suggest to those that can afford 5 bucks a month to support this channel and cause. Than you again to all those that work to put these shows together. Hopefully, if the people can end this deep state madness You and others alike can make real school US history books for our children.
Did they forget that Irish owned slaves and had big big big plantations in America. So somebodies laying.
One-Eye and the dudes holding him captive in the thumbnail are Norse.
I was surprised to learn that all the help to feed the Irish during their famine was sitting in their landlord London banks. It was one of the roughest seas in a century and they where too weak to make seaweed eatable at the end

Volunteer meant “sign here or die”
I'm from Puerto Rico and my mothers grandparents were from Spain. Two of my grandparents were brown skin and I have black, blondes and mix cousins all around. Through this day I can't understand black people in United States that still thinking about what happenes more than a 100 years ago and keep beleiveing that because of their skin color they can't be whatever thay want to be. I grew up in a poor neighbourghood whit a lot of drugs and criminality and some of my whites and blacks friends become excelent professionals and great human beings.
Irish slaves are a really blown out concept when slavery is a universal blight every society has suffered from. Coming from a family in Carlow that was extremely poor, the suffering Ireland endured was overwhelming, but public consciousness really warps it to pity. Most don't know what laws and discrimination were in effect to form an educated belief on the matter, so they choose to cut to conclusions and claim a genocide. Life was very different and unfortunately we carry weight when discussing these topics instead of thinking it through.
I love the Irish. I'm Hispanic we were also slaves, my Native American ancestors
Thanks for watching
Hell yeah! Wheres my reparations.??!!
Super interesting as usual.
They also used to take women who couldn’t speak English cause they were speaking gaelic and burnt them as witches the slave women in the states. Or “servants” I guess you’re not a slave unless you’re darker and I’m not very politically correct but it’s in plenty of books written pre 1950s.
You might find it interesting that urish werr slavers for 800 years. St patrick from south England was an english slave sent to ureland as a boy.
Just as the natives of England were for a thousand years+ until the arrival of the Normans.
Not politically correct to point out the truth. The Irish were the first slaves, not Black people. When I was working on the Island of Antigua I took a tour of the island with a local guide. We went to the former sugar cane factories, saw the slave housing & we were shown the place many slaves committed suicide when they couldn't take the horrible treatment any longer. He pointed out that the original slaves were Irish & Native Americans but they died too quickly in the climate which was the reason they switched to Africans. The climate was much more similar to what they were used to in Africa. The point is that slavery had nothing to do with skin color, any psychopath that thought it was O.K. to enslave people really didn't care about that & only wanted free labor. The Irish suffered horrible abuse over a thousand years, mostly by the English. When they came to the new world it was the same.
100% True!
The irish were not the 1st. But slavery existed everywhere and for many thousands of years.
@@cryptozoomauler5505You're correct, not the first. I was referring to the Caribbean. Slavery has existed for thousands of years.
You are aware that pre-christian Ireland had slaves. St Patrick (the Patron Saint of Ireland) was actually Welsh. He was taken by a Celtic raiding party and brought to Ireland as a slave, he escaped, went to Rome and returned to bring Christianity to Ireland. I often feel this was when things started going downhill for the Irish...
He brought Catholicism to Ireland
The Catholic church is not Christian
@@mistiroberts1576it was until 1054 when it was excommunicated from the rest of the church over the filioque in the nicene creed
@@mistiroberts1576it’s a death cult.
The Catholic church is the one true church founded by Jesus Christ ...@@mistiroberts1576

I demand reparations from north Africa ✊
Good luck!
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Thank you brother.
Also the first slave in the English colonies was an Irishman aboard the Mayflower. What this leaves out is that the Celtic Irish invaded Romanized Briton centuries before the first Viking raid - Saint Patrick was taken in a raid when he was 16 years old and was a slave in Ireland for 6 years until he escaped and fled back to Briton.
Very informative. A nice production.
Oh those poor Irish - like they didn’t take slaves? Many Irish took Cornish slaves, many Irish were Viking!
Thanks Colin
The Irish used to take Britons as slaves, st Patrick was one such slave taken by Irish raiders. The Irish weren't really slaves but indentured servants, and it wasn't unique to the Irish, there were Welsh, Scottish and English indentured servants too. The difference was Irish 'slavery' was used as a talking point by irish nationalists to get support

@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL Thanks for reading my comment
That's true
Google AI disavows all these images. None of them are dark enough at all.

Now days, in these modern times of equity, etc. People have turned themselves into voluntary Wage Slaves to banks and other financial institutions. Once upon a time, within my life time, a man went to work and the income he earned could support a wife and his children. He was able to purchase a car and buy a modest home on a mortgage and pay it off in about 15 years. So that by the time his children left home in their early 20s, he paid off the home and enjoyed many years of reasonable financial freedom and could look forward to retirement. Then houses got bigger, the prices went up, the mortgages got larger and now there is no end in sight to financial freedom. So now people will spend their entire working life, paying off the mortgage, paying personal loans and paying credit cards and filling the house up with more and more consumer goods. So they are working their entire lives and paying most of their earnings to the banks and finance companies. People in the Middle Ages worked as simple farmers and paid the overlord 50% or even two thirds of what they grew as rent to the Baron or Duke. Now the banks are he Barons and overlords, and the work force are Wage Slaves.

JEWISH people were very heavy involved in the slave trade and the slave ownership...
Yet no whining about reparations 🤔
I'm Irish
They don't cry for reparations
🇺🇸
The man who became known as St. Patrick was English, and was a slave of the Irish when he was a boy. So, it is safe to say the Irish inslaved people as well.
True
Everyone enslaved everyone back in the day basically.. not only for purposes of labour but to bring fresh DNA into isolated areas so they wouldn't have as many ill effects of inbreeding.. it still goes on to this day in some places..
St Patrick was not English as England did not exist. He was probably a Romano Celt but definitely not English.
Every people group has enslaved others or been enslaved by others at some point in history. Scapegoatinf one ethnicity for all slavery while it still occurs across the world today, and is perpetuated by many of the actual most prolific slaver cultures in history, is both racist and utterly misguided. Instead of attacking those whose ancestors once owned slaves, we should be trying to free those people who are atill in bondage today.
They did and also released him, he didn't escape on his own.
I once read that slavery is the natural human condition.
Yes, but was it a human saying it, or an alien villain character?
Thank you
You're welcome
English also enslaved Scots
Scots mounted slave raids into England
You should read about Sally Miller from the early 1800s in New Orleans.
Please do the Claddagh ring story. The famous ring was made by a Irish slave owned by a Muslim
My great grandmother was Irish and she was an indentured slave when she arrived in America.
I heard something about this in school year ago the teacher didn't get to deep into it
Irish tribes kept slaves too, this was fairly common, St Patrick was brought to Ireland as a slave. This was all part of those times

Where’s my reparations?
I was once a slave, at least that's the example I found in a huge unabridged (Webster's?) dictionary when I was assigned to the Pentagon. "Slaves in the Pentagon worked nights and through the holidays to revamp the budget - T.R. Phillips"
Spent four years there. I slaved.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNELI spent over six.
I would be hard pressed to find any people, any where, who where not slaves at some point in time. Consider St. Patrick--home to the British Isles and becoming a slave of the Irish.
Let's not forget that the Irish were prolific slavers themselves..... St Patrick being the most famous. Indentured servitude was indeed a 'great' way to get around anti slavery laws and was used extensively across the British Isles including Ireland.
DALRIADA, Viking attacking monk's..Battle of Largs . No monk's they fought that time
Even those who signed were lied to about what to expect in their employment contracts.
Olaf Guthfrithsson is my 34th great uncle.
Watch the movie, captain blood. It's a pirate movie. It shows you right there where they came from. They were not voluntary and dentured servants. They were sold. They could not work their way out. One of the most famous horses in history, the Morgan was created and bred by an Irish slthey. Use them to pull the wood, the trees out of the woods. That's why they had that big horse. These Biggers in the cloud stales. From what I understand they're almost extinct now.There's no use for them and people haven't taken care of them
The Gaels enslaved all the natives of Ireland in their slow conquest of Ireland the native tribes of Ireland, often with branches in Britain and Europe such as Brigantes, Dumnoni, Monapi and Belgae were conquered or forced to pay the dreadful boruma and starved. The currency of the conquerors was the Cumail or slave girl. Incidently St Bridgets mothers name in Gaelic accounts. In Welsh and other accounts she is Dumnonian/Leigin royalty.
Cromwell dispised the Irish. He transported them to the West Indies.

Does the understanding that slavery is wrong constitute as as sign of some form of change/adaptation in humans? because they had no issues with it forever. Even today people are still doing it but in our culture it is considered psychopathic to take a person against their will and keep them in your home and force them to serve you. We think that is insane but to them in the past; they lived next to people who owned people and likely let them babysit their kids.
I don't think it is that simplistic
My ancestors were sent to Talbot County, Maryland in the late 1600s as soon as called indentured servants!!! Slavery??? They ultimately mixed with English families and became farmers near Easton. Slainte!!!!
The Irish had it so rough. I’m American obviously but ethnically I’m part Russian (East Slav, Chuvash, Tartar, Cossack,) mixed Sicilian, and Irish and Welsh, as well as some Cherokee (only like 1/8th). The word “Slave” actually comes from the “Slav” ethnicity, doesn’t it? Because they were always enslaved in the early days. So I’m not saying some black slaves didn’t have it bad in the old days, but tbh, they certainly didn’t have it the worst either. Slavery for blacks ended in 1865 (the union had it longer than the confederacy actually) and then the north just started using the Irish illegally as slaves in HORRENDOUSLY bad conditions, probably well into the 1930’s. My Russian great grandparents were essentially slaves in the coal mines of Brookside and Cardiff, Alabama, as well as their parents, who were killed while in the coal mine with other slavs by explosives, while the Anglo workers were all “coincidentally” off that day. Hmmm. So yeah, pretty much every group had it had, not just blacks. Sorry to ruin the ethnocentric victim mentality for “the worlds most important group.”

Where do I apply for my reparations
Now give us retribution.
As an Irish woman with rich Irish history.
I say rich history because there is the Irish privileged class who are descendants of prodesant Englishman
People who were not persucuted, singled out and punished in Irish sociaty
Throughout history, the privileged class in Ireland are the ones writing our history, and Irish history is different in their eyes. It is similar to America that has a thing called white privilege. The Irish have people called brithish privilege. To learn more about this, you do not need to look far it is in our history. Some war tactics used by british intelligence were to persucute and devide the Irish through class and religion, leading Irish descendants to Catholic and English descendants to protestant. The after effects of centuries of colonisation are clear to see today in modern Ireland. Slavery and the genocide of the Irish were real. The privileged class wrote Irish history. I think it's time for a change. Whereas the irish man tells our story.
..i want reparations!
There have been human slaves, of every color, since there have been humans. As long as profit and laws are on their side, it will continue somewhere.
Did the vikings enslave others?
Yes
The institution of slavery in Ireland did not begin with the Vikings. It was part of native Irish culture from time immemorial. St. Patrick was brought to Ireland initially as a slave.
