Ireland

It behooves all to look more closely at the criminal suppression of Irish rights and independence by the British Empire.  Few talk about the hundreds of thousands of the Irish people sent to the West Indies, and the American Colonies as SLAVES (not "indentured servants") during the 17th and even the early 18th centuries.  Perhaps a greater knowledge of this history would help explain the resistance, and the American support of same.





Check out the history of the Irish sent to Barbados, among other places.  Look at the systematic suppression of the Irish by the British over MANY CENTURIES and you will no longer be surprised by the anger.
