Original Note:
There were no Irish slaves in the Americas. People who claim there were are conflating indentured servitude with chattel slavery- two distinct forms of servitude. White indentured servants had legal rights; unlike Black slaves, indentured servants weren't considered property https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_slaves_myth https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/irish-slaves-early-america/
