An image doesn't prove it.

do research about anthony johnson

I don't care for it though.

Also it doesn't matter if they're the captains.

I care about the slave owners and traders.

And of course the slaves.

I don't care about the first slave owner. Just the majority.

Doesn't mean he shouldn't of been condemned no, of course not.

mhm i see

just so you know, blacks werent the only ones being enslaved by americans, irish people were enslaved too

but oh well why does that matter

That's a myth.

well thats them

https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-227aed62ed509633707c3ae8c207bd94 i guess they were enslaved because they resembled negroes

British Revolution?

not sure, really

Industrial revolution*

I meant

they were poor

Not slaves

Treated poorly yes, but not slaves and not as bad as slaves.

Surely at some point in america treated worse than blacks but weren't slaves.

it could be that irish were weak and underdeveloped compared to USA and britain

@Deleted User The irish were not in any sense weak, afterall, they managed to successfully defeat them in their war for independance.

*that being the british

good point

The potato famine

Defeated by potatos

if they made vodka from potatoes they could have survived, blyat

No defeated by lack of food

In general

lemme guess, they didn't have any good agriculture so they just ate all the potatoes and never re grew them?

Nope

Potatoes had a disease or something

they probably had some of those little golden bug fuckers

?

@Deleted User No, disease made the potatoes inedible, meaning that the main and practically only crop grown in ireland became useless.
