And YOU were right about 'transported', the term you eNglish use to hide what you did...
" The Proclamation of 1625 by James II made it official policy that all Irish political prisoners be transported to the West Indies and sold to English planters. Soon Irish slaves were the majority of slaves in the English colonies." Note the word SOLD...
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/27/1265498/-The-slaves-that-time-forgot money went to whom? The crown?..after expenses, old boy.
And then you eNglish decided to get nasty..don't back off now, laddie..defend, or rather, pontificate.
As for the Irish slaves, Cromwell specifically targeted Irish children.
“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, [Oliver] Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.”
Again..that telling word...SOLD....
Straighten my history out, oh learned eNglishman...oh, and by the by..not Irish, BOY O.
My point being, the eNglish were the MAIN thrust of slavey in the New World AND built your bloody empire on it and the MONEY earned from it, and continue to enjoy the same, Mr 'Transported'. Now a days that would be 'genocide' ol' chappie..
