Original Note:
It is true that Irish men, women, and children were slaves in the early British American colonies in 1625, before African Americans. They toiled in tobacco fields in Virginia and Maryland. They were also slaves in the West Indies in the sugar cane fields. https://search.syr.edu/discovery/fulldisplay/alma9971534433408496/01SYU_INST%3ASYU
