Description du produit
The previously untold story of over 50,000 Irish men, women and children who were transported to Barbados and Virginia.
Between 1652 and 1659 over 50,000 Irish men, women and children were transported to Barbados and Virginia. Yet until now there has been no account of what became of them.
The motivation for the initial transportation of the Irish was expressed by King James 1 of England: "Root out the Papists and fill it [Ireland] with Protestants."
The author’s search began in the library of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society and its files on Irish slaves. Sean O’Callaghan for the first time documents the history of these people: their transportation, the conditions in which they lived on plantations as slaves or servants, and their rebellions in Barbados.
