Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 24:7
It is amazing how many things we were not told in our high school American History classes. We were being a little bit indoctrinated rather than educated. It has gradually, throughout the years, been more of an indoctrination rather than an education. I think that it was accomplished partly in high school but at the university it was a lot worse. I even had a Communist professor at one of the universities that I attended.
Irish slavery in America and the West Indies spanned for over 180 years. It occurred both before and during black slavery in the British colonies. In the 1600s, Irish slavery was paramount as England captured over one million Irish inhabitants and carted them off as slaves or indentured servants to help populate the new territories of Great Britain. And in addition, President Thomas Jefferson sent two of his newly created armed forces (Navy and Marines) to help end white slavery. But there is something very strange about this event. There is nothing of this episode in the American high school history books.
