re: Some Truths about SLAVERY

quote:

---

- Irish slave trade: 1625 30,000 political prisoners sold as slaves to Brits in the West Indies. Whites made up of most of the early slave trade here. From 1641-1652 to 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and 300,000 sold as slaves. Irelands population fell from 1.6 million to 600,000 in a decade. Negro slaves were worth more than Irish, and thus treated better.
