They came as slaves; vast human cargo transported on tall British ships bound for the Americas. They were shipped by the hundreds of thousands and included men, women, and even the youngest of children.
Whenever they rebelled or even disobeyed an order, they were punished in the harshest ways. Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment. They were burned alive and had their heads placed on pikes in the marketplace as a warning to other captives.
We don’t really need to go through all of the gory details, do we? We know all too well the atrocities of the African slave trade.
But, are we talking about African slavery? King James II and Charles I also led a continued effort to enslave the Irish. Britain’s famed Oliver Cromwell furthered this practice of dehumanizing one’s next door neighbor.
The Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.
From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.
During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.
Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Slaves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish.
The irony is, we are slaves today.
This. Taxation is slavery.
People get mad about their ancestors being slaves, but seemingly don't care that they are one.
Now I understand the Irish deep seated hatred for the English.
For anyone who has an interest in Ireland's relationship to England I highly recommend the book "Ireland 1845-1850: The Perfect Holocaust and Who Kept it 'Perfect'" by Chris Fogarty. It's primarily about the Irish Potato Famine and how it was deliberately exacerbated by the British to induce a genocide of the Irish but also goes into detail of the centuries long campaign waged against Ireland. Very enlightening book on the subject.
Interesting comments here, thanks
The Romans started it as divide and rule tactics against the British Isles, and it persists to this day. Remember we do not struggle against flesh and blood. In fact there are probably none among us whose ancestors haven't been seriously wronged in some way.
I demand reparations for the 9th century raids by the Danes on my ancestral indigenious scotish lands!
yeah, the book does alot to explain it. Remember, 2 years of African Slaves in America. 800 years of English incursions into Ireland. The Great General Wellington (Waterloo) once commented that Ireland would provide Cannon fodder for England for centuries.
Too true. Remember the scene in Braveheart when the commander of the British forces countermanded the order to prepare to fire a volley of arrows? "No, send in the Irish, they're cheaper," or something to that effect.
Never saw that one, but I believe the intent of the words were correct.
(((English)))
Ireland is occupied by British troops to this day.
English were slaves as well. The so-called "Barbary Pirates" did raiding parties from the North African coast to snatch English people from the SW coast which is to say Cornwall and Devon. Took them back to Africa as slaves.
And the Barbary pirates...were muslims!!!!!
To the shores of Tripoli!!!
They raided American shipping after the British lifted protection. This is why the marines were created. To defeat the Tripoli Muslims. Leathernecks...thick leather collared uniforms...harder for Muslim swords to cut off heads.
Whole villages in the west country vanished overnight, the Corsairs came in with the dusk and took everyone.
The Royal Navy was active in suppressing the slave trade, 2,000 sailors died in this evolution, where are the reparations for them?
How much will I get for reparations??? Is the check in the mail??? 🤣
Read the book, as an Irish-American found it interesting. Author says many white Irish women force into Marriages with blacks to produce more Brownish slaves. This could be check easily. The 7 Daughters of Eve theory says that since everyone gets their Mitochondrial genetic Material from the mother only, there should be a LARGE amount of Black people with the white strain in the cell nucleus. Someone should do an inquire into this. I'm surprised no one has.
I'm pretty sure they have. Ancestry and 23 & Me are compromised and are likely hiding the truth.
There was a report somewhere that found people at 23 & me were arbitrarily adding 1% black to ALL reports. The bastards. I wish I could find, Ill have to see if I can find it.
Wow. Funny you say that. I was going to include in my comment that my Polish and Italian buddy got his results saying he was 1% Jewish. He was pretty pissed (reason I deleted it), but now I'm wondering if there is an agenda here. 🤷♂️
They are playing with our minds. "See, your one of them yourself so how can you say ANYTHING derogatory about them?" cute game.
Oh please. Surely you're not suggesting that this never happened.
And just going with the most efficient means to producing more "brownish" slaves, one white plantation owner impregnating multiple black slaves could produce dozens of "brownish" slaves in the same time as one black man impregnating a white woman would.
Like slave owners wouldn't rape their slaves because of some ethical or moral issue they have. 🙄
What in the hell does that have to do with your statement that plantation owners weren't raping their slaves?
Do you think that they knew about mitochondrial DNA back then?
And this is just taking it as a given that the info about the 7 daughters of eve theory is correct, which I can't say because I'm not yet familiar enough with it.
Edited to add: I'm surely not an expert in DNA, but are you suggesting that due to whatever it is that the 7 Daughters of Eve theory thing says, that White Ass Daddy plus Black Ass Mama does not (at least sometimes) produce "Brownish" Ass Babies?
Bonus points if you recognize the Archer reference.
White daddy's an Black mama's would produce black babies and they would reflect mother's mitochondrial material. you forget racism. Many English Whites would rather have black men make mixed babies with Irish mothers than do it themselves. they disliked Irish more than the black and thought it suitable for the Irish women to have multiple black babies. The book explains it.
I don't need a book to tell me if a white dad and black mom could have a "brownish" baby. I've witnessed it in real life.
I'm having a hard time believing that this book is saying what people are suggesting it's saying.
Well, I understand that. I read it a couple of times. being Irish in ancestry and from reading other books about the attitude of the English towards the Irish can I can believe that their attitudes would have led them to do what they did. I for myself would like to see a study done on the Mitochondria. It would be a fascinating study i think. pick up a copy of the book. she wrote it as a half Japanese half Irish investigating the history of her mother's people.
My people☘️
I’ll take $5 million on Irish Slaves in California Mr. Hooters Man.
Schools should teach slavery history month. Keep it all in context.
Slaves date back to almost the time of man. There were slaves in the Old Testament. Even the Jews had slaves before David was King. Some even sold themselves into slavery in those days. (I assume they were indentured),
In Leviticus God gives the Jews his laws on how to treat the slaves.
I remember telling this to my Irish friend who was claiming that the black were the first slaves. He is a very educated person and even he knew that the Irish were the first to be slaves, he called me a racist for saying the Irish was the first and shut me out of his life. This is the same friend who also thought that I was a conspiracy theorist/alt-right for saying the clotshot will kill people. I did not even mention President Trump at all in my communication to him, yet he made the claim I'm using right wing talking points to "refute" him.
This was like 2 something years ago so Idk what's up with him as he have totally cut off all communication with me and my wife (we all were good friends in college and he was my roommate for a good portion of my college life).
Sad to see someone who had a lot in common with me and was awesome to talk to, has gone the cucked lifestyle now due to his wife, who is a massive SJW faggot.
Slavery as institution was widespread throughout the world in fact it’s one of the few notions that appeared to rise independent of cultural interactions. With it being noted in historical records in the Americas, New Zealand, and Asia well before contact Official contact with Europeans.
And according to official information we have thus far. It was Europeans and later Americans who began making the earliest concerted efforts to combat the slave trade following the rise of abolitionist sentiments. Though the British seemed to take it the most seriously. The most prominent example of such efforts being The British West African Squadron.
Though into the Imperial Era. European Imperial Powers still were making efforts to curtail and halt the trade in their Colonies.
9 'Facts' About Slavery They Don't Want You to Know
In 1830 there were 3,775 free black people who owned 12,740 black and white slaves. https://howafrica.com/9-facts-about-slavery-they-dont-want-you-to-know/
SLAVERY IN AFRICA TODAY:
Slavery has historically been widespread in Africa. Systems of servitude and slavery were common in parts of Africa in ancient times, as they were in much of the rest of the ancient world.When the trans-Saharan slave trade, Indian Ocean slave trade and Atlantic slave trade (which started in the 16th century) began, many of the pre-existing local African slave systems began supplying captives for slave markets outside Africa. Slavery in contemporary Africa is still practiced despite it being illegal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa
Then there is the Chinese labour that was used to build the American and Canadian transcontinental railways, as well as the Trans-Siberian one: One can argue they were badly treated slaves.
https://www.history.com/news/transcontinental-railroad-chinese-immigrants#:~:text=%E2%80%9CChinese%20received%2030%2D50%20percent,at%20times%20from%20some%20supervisors.
In Canada, they received even less pay:
https://torontorailwaymuseum.com/?p=1152#:~:text=It%20appears%20that%20approximately%20700,pay%20of%20their%20white%20coworkers.
The Russians were a bit more humane:
Paying their railway workers MORE meant that the trans-Siberian railway was built in record time - faster than the Canadian one
https://history-groby.weebly.com/uploads/2/9/5/6/29562653/trans_siberian_railway_1.pdf
I mention railways, after watching the Railway Man https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2058107/
It is based on the memoirs of someone who took part in the building of a railway for the Japanese, in Burma (now Myanmar), who used POW labour, while starving them. If they died - no matter. It was stated that the building of railways in history is fraught with human rights abuses for the labourers.
They kinda cleaned up the term by using indentured servant instead of slave but it was the same thing!
Can we please all educate everyone on the origins of word "slave". Slave is what it is because slavs were in the middle ages used as slaves
Indentured Servants is what they called them. Working for sponsors that paid their way to the Americas. When debt was paid they were freed. This process was often entered into willingly by the servants involved as they wanted to get to the Americas. African slavery was a LIFETIME deal until the Emancipation Proclamation. Apples and Oranges.
Now do the Chinese slaves that were brought here to America to work on the railroad and in the mines.
Who owned the slave ships?
J j j j j ummm
And Muslims.
Stop noticing things!
Aaaannnnndddd back to my regularly programmed sheeple mode....
Great question...
This is old news.
Come on Ian.
You are back to who can be the biggest victim again. Of course their were white slaves.
Get help on this issue man.
ALL of history is old news.
I'm celebrating White History month, gaslighter.
And you are celebrating achieves or stories that you had NOTHING to do with lol.
That's what tribal people do.
They look at OTHER people's stories to boost themselves.
As I said, friend.
I'll work on building my own stories. I use history to improve myself.
That's all it's good for.
Whatever makes you feel better.
I'll work on thinking about the future of ALL people. Not some silly tribal battle of "My Tribe" vs "Your Tribe" crap.
Very Essenic of you..
Of course they were wiped out, but you do you.
Where did God say that Nature was NICE???
Nature is hardcore.
When a diaster happens. I am not going to default to tribal instincts to survive. Lower IQ people will do that.
Their demise didn't come from nature - but men, who didn't hold the same altruistic views as they did.
The disaster already happened, and you are none the wiser. Low IQ indeed.
And human beings' demise will come from listening to "Tribal Leaders" who lie. Why did so many take the Jab???
Because they listen to the Tribal Leaders. They went along with the culture.
A group of truly indie thinkers cannot be controlled.
You are only looking at the small picture.
There is HUMAN NATURE that goes along with ENVIRONMENTAL NATURE.
Both impact each other. When humans are LOW IQ/TRIBAL of my tribe vs your tribe.
That means they will fight each other due to their lack of ability to reason through conflict.
Things like "We must separate" or "We must go to war" are tribal emotional instincts. Why do you think the Cabal is pushing ethnic/gender/sex battles?
They know it's LOW IQ emotional instincts. They know if we fight over this. It's just easier to get us to destroy each other while they wait to take all the assets.
God created us from one race of species. We can PROCRETE with each other as long as it is a HEALTHY MAN and a HEALTHY WOMAN.
It's time to stop tribal wars and to UNITE.
You simply can not be serious.
It is always tribal - those that weren't, aren't here anymore. Ponder that long and hard. Why is that so?
You are tribal. You care more about your cells than the cells of other bodies.
Your family is tribal. They care more about family members than of the others.
Your neighbourhood is tribal.. your community, your nation, your hemisphere, etc, etc, etc...
The vapid virtue signalling is choking you. How low does an IQ need to be, to not see the truth written in history? Not see it written in our genes? Not see it, when it is in action all around you? Fish dont think they are wet?
