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.
@Mr. E#2794 there are some weird little golden bugs that eat off the potatoes and its leafs and making the potatoe die out
I mean yeah, what do you expect when the brits practically oppressed them and didn't care for their food supplies much.
@Deleted User No, it wasn't those.
@Deleted User well shit, they were surrounded with sea, why didn't they go fishing
Or farms.
They did.
Yeah it was some disease.
You can't live off fish
in Ireland
not enough.
@Deleted User Try moving all of your industry into fishing in an area that dosen't have that many fish in it to begin with, instantly.
fish contains omega 3 fatty acids that help with your brain @Mr. E#2794
I know.
And?
@Deleted User Do you know what you are talking about?
@Deleted User yeah
Really dosen't seem like it.
but erm
they could eat other plants
like turnips
apples
unless they were diseased aswell
