The Irish Slave Trade – The Forgotten “White” Slaves

[Prisoner Of Ice]

that's only a half-truth

Out of the Irish Catholics fresh off the boat, they all fought for whatever region they settled. There were many Irish Catholics who fought for the South, most coming to America in the potato famine era or just shortly before it around 1820's/1830's and there were several Irish Catholic brigades in the C.S.A. army just like in the Union Army.

It's true most went to places like New Orleans, to work on the levies mainly, but many also settled in other urban or port areas of the Southeast especially southern Georgia, Charleston, SC and Memphis, TN to work either on railroads or levies there too.

I don't say none fought for the south. They were willing to fight for whichever side they lived. But there were not many Irish slave owners. Like I said there was just not much opportunity for that. I am sure you could drudge some up. There were some scots-irish slave owners but still probably a lot fewer than among the english and scottish.

How are Germans supposed to look? Do the Bavarians look like the Prussians? Did the people from the Palatinate look identical to the people at the far northern border? Like I said, Appalachians have been mixed from the start.

bavarians are strong alpines. Prussians look more Nordic. Hessians look like Keltic-Nordids and some more close to the border of Switzerland looked more Alpine like Bavarians.

are we referring to catholics or protestants? Catholics were not prominent land owners in America. So it would be financially impossible for an impoverished immigrant to own slaves.

you have provided nothing but bullshit as far as I am concerned. Not even a picture of yourself to determine 'irish' claim. You are full of shit until otherwise. Ugly 'guy' thanks I would rather be ugly than some homosexual looking Nordic swede. 'with no sources or information' hahahah that sounds like you not me. I personally attack you because you don't provide any family records or information backing up your claims. Not only that your anti-white views precede you.

Who knew universities and archival records are bullshit you have nothing lol Now you are trying to completely make this about me again like when you said my having African ancestry makes my opinions invalid lol

Yes it was mostly alpinids, seemingly.

Look at some german amish from ohio and you will know what most the "german" immigrants to US looked like.

I think you misinterpreted his meaning.

Germans did not settle Appalachia heavily. Infact I view them more as anglo-saxon-celtic than continental german. They are very resistant in nature which is very un-German.

trolling is positive however you deserve to be trolled. Why? You spread Afram foolishness online and think you are superior. Yet you do not produce any Irish heritage which you speak of. No surnames just a picture and say your irish. If anything you must have got it from google

I am not going to put my surnames on here and I stated long before this conversation my heritage with no one challenging it now; I pity you for resorting to such anti-intellectual posturing.

same with Penn state with that group of Amish. Many people in my family look atypical German. Only a minority in my family look Keltic Nordid.

I have nothing else to prove to you regarding my lineage, I have stated since I started on these forum my history. You are just some guy trying to rile me up with no sources or information.

Just like most of the people thumbing me down; no sources just bullshit and personal attacks of what I am.

For what it's worth, I'm not one of them. You know your own heritage and your own history more than anybody here. Now, I dare not bring up the Italians (June Tolliver) in the colonies. That might really open a can of worms.

then you are ull of shit. Irish people can detect what is irish purely on surname alone. You are descended from Afro-Saxons to me. Your not irish. If a Gael surname does not pop up you are not irish to me. Irish surnames are clan based and if you cannot provide any information then you are a fraud to me.
