Original Note:
The claim "first slaves in America were Irish" is inaccurate. Africans arrived in 1619 . Irish were indentured, not slaves . "Irish slaves" myth misleads. Image unrelated. usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/18/fact-check-irish-were-indentured-servants-not-slaves/3198590001/ time.com/5653369/august-1619-jamestown-history/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_slaves_myth
