Original Note:
The note above is incorrect. The first source actually refers to black slaves being traded by Irishmen, not white slaves; and the second one is misleading because it conflates slavery with indentured servitude. Various sources go into other details, here one: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/17/us/irish-slaves-myth.html
