“We’re learning that Whites were enslaved in greater numbers than black folks a study now claims-”
I find that very interesting. I had not heard of this before. Can you please provide a link to this study?
here’s the site i saw the study mentioned on:
There was a couple m ore- but i think they refereed to the study too-
here’s another:
When Europeans Were Slaves: Research Suggests White Slavery Was Much More Common Than Previously Believed
one more- Irish were slaves as well here in America and other countries like Jamaica AND Caribbean Islands-
“The Slavery of “Whites” actually goes back some time. It has been said for instance, that Scotch-Irish have been slaves longer than any other race in the history of the world. We are not going to cover all of that here. Instead, we are going to shed some light on a few things that most obviously never heard about in school in regard to white slaves in the Americas.”
In the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series; America and West Indies of 1701, we read of a protest over the “encouragement to the spiriting away of Englishmen without their consent and selling them for slaves, which hath been a practice very frequent and known by the name of kidnapping.” (Emphasis added). In the British West Indies, plantation slavery was instituted as early as 1627. In Barbados by the 1640s there were an estimated 25,000 slaves, of whom 21,700 were White. (“Some Observations on the Island of Barbados,” Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series). It is worth noting that while White slaves were worked to death in Barbados, there were Caribbean Indians brought from Guiana to help propagate native foodstuffs who were well-treated and received as free persons by the wealthy planters.”
