Almost on a daily basis someone makes some mention to the black being enslaved in this country. Not only are we reminded, it is almost as if we have to be held accountable; however, in the 1650's, 80,000 to 130,000 Irish men, women, and children were sent into slavery. There were some sent to the US to work on plantantions and there were some sent to the Carribean. As a result, many died from starvation and sickness. So, why is it that we just remember the blacks that were forced into slavery?
