In the new world there were many white slaves
English slaves : Convicts, Prostitutes ,Vagrants, Children [ The word Kidnapper ie Kid-Napper ; comes from the men (called “spirits) who use to steal children in London and Bristol in order to sell them as slaves in the new world] and others ( poor children, prostitutes children like in london, kidnapped Adults)
Scottish Slaves : Mainly prisoners sold by Cromwell, Aberdeen was a dangerous town for chilfren, there was a lot of kidnapping down there. Scotland was a hunting grown for slaves like west Africa.
Irish Slaves : Mainly Prisoners sold by Cromwell the butcher like the Scots. Irish were sold as slaves in the new world in order to made space for the English colonists into Ireland (Lands, Properties). They were called the “White-Niggers” in the United States and they went through many riots because of their nationality.
In Barbados they were the “Red-Legs” and they were the poorest they even survived because of the charity of Black slaves. Some white masters even called them “White Trash”….
The White slavery ( called falsely “Indentured Servant” or “servant”) was the capital and economic basement for African slavery ( see Eric Williams and Gabriel Debien). The people who sold white people and gained capital from this business like in Bristol or Liverpool turned to Africa and destroyed that continent with their former experience in selling human beings…
Spanish (Hispaniola) and Portuguese started first…The Portuguese used to send vagrant Portuguese children as slaves in India, in order to accomodate “well” with the climate….African could’nt have any chance against these professional , experienced criminals….Some slave traders sold both Africans and Whites in the new world…
They were whipped, raped, tortured, killed before the black men and women took their place for economics reasons….
There are many books who tell their story :
J A Rogers : Sex and Race Vol II (British west Indies and America)
J A Rogers : Africa’s Gift to America (America)
Eric Williams : Capitalism and Slavery (British West Indies)
Eric Williams : From Colombus To Castro (British West Indies)
Michael Hoffman II : They were white and they were slaves ( Very Informative but this guy is a big racist, he hates black people you can feel it when reading his book….)
Don Jordan and Michael Walsh : White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain’s White Slaves in America , This the best book I’ve ever read about white slavery in the New world , very informative.
Gabriel Debien : ” Les engagés pour les antilles” for people who reads french…
Neheshy,
Why should any blackman or blackwoman give a damn about another cracker enslaved another cracker. There is no difference between them,they’re just evil.They killed all Men,Women and Children in Tasmania to steal their land.Don’t forget and forgive the African Holocaust.These evil simulated race are not our friends.
I don’t give a damn about irish slaves and you can shed your crocodile tears.
To hell with the pinkman(european),you are all evil.
Visit this site and see how they killed black people.

This “article” was one of my comment. I think the main purpose was to learn people that the basic foundation of Black or the African salve trade was based upon the white slavery.
Whipping, Raping, Branding, Tortures were already inflicted upon the white slave from antiquity ( Rome and Greece) until the Middle Age…And even further because the last white slaves were freed in Russia in 1861 ( and later in many parts of russia).
The purpose is to show to african descendant that the slave by definition was a european or white man from Antiquity to the 16th century. In the Middle Age , Spain was full of european slaves from Greece, Sardainia, from Eastern Europe. We could find the same situation in Italy ((Greeks, Tartars, Slaves ) , Portugal and France (mainly the south).
The African slavery oppression system has been studied and applied for centuries in Europe against white folks, this is the most important thing to understand.
The Belgium sholar and international reference about white slavery during the middle age i.e Charles Verlinden showed in his impressive research that Spanish and Portuguese and Europeans generally speaking has exported their colonial and slavery habits into the new world.
SO THEY LIE WHEN THEY SAY THAT AFRICAN USED TO ENSLAVED EACH OTHER SO THEY JUST BOUGHT SLAVES FROM THERE… They also kidnapped people on African soil ( John Hawkins and many others) and they set people one against the other in order to buy them and sell them.
You can verify this last fact by reading books about Native Indians slavery (the first slaves before the europeans). Europeans applied the same slave catching techniques in the Carribean ( Cuba, Hispaniola, PR, Jamaica etc) , in South America, and North America : LIES, VIOLENCE, DECEPTION…
Africans didn’t have a chance when we see the fate of many Native Indians in many carribbean islands, or in the american continent ( north, central, south)…They were already trained for many centuries…
PS: By the way I’m 100% African and the Slave trade is THE REASON why we still have problems in Africa. Any people in history have suffered what we suffered

It is no wonder that so many view our people as ignorant morons, with such RACIST HUMAN GUTTER TRASH as you claiming to be a black man. Our people do not hold an exclusive right to being oppressed by others. However, we do hold the exclusive right to oppressing ourselves.
You are if anything nothing more than an ignorant little black boy parroting your masters oppressive views. A slave is a slave no matter the color of their skin, nor the color of their masters skin. It’s not any white mans fault that your Mama chose to be a two bit slut,
Get up off your bigoted knees boy, it’s time to stop acting like the ignorant slave boy that you are, the time has come to start acting like a real man, and stop acting like your Daddy, who had to have been a worthless N.I.G.G.A. to give life to a vile little worthless nobody like you. Don’t like it? Tough, the truth is what it is boy, and it defined the likes of you and your “Down Low Boy” Shabazz a long time ago.
Rasta bonds all people, I and I have all been slaves to Babylon…
im asian but my adopted grandmother would tell me stories about ireland and how horrible the british were to them. at any given point in history almost every single race, culture, religion, gender ect. has been enslaved. to point the finger at one , you must point the finger at yourself as well.my biological mother from thailand would buy thai slaves just as easily as she would rice. slavery over there did not officialy end until 1950’s. Nehesy i think its wonderful that you wrote this. Slavery has been around forever, sadly, it is still going on today, please keep bringing to light the unkown history of the world that has stayed covered up, hidden, repressed and ignored by so many.
The lack of informative information and current mindset regarding white slavery can only be attributed to Publishers and Literary Agents. As a writer, due self-censorship by Publisher and their Agents for sake of Political Correctness, I am hampered and restricted when it comes telling the truth as to the realities of the past. Political Correctness is not a Government thing, Political Correctness stems from pretentious Publishers and Agents that in the last fifty years have blocked the truth all in the name of morality and their view on society.
Publishers and Agents have for years have practiced a self-censorship ideology as to what they will print and not print. The idea of forced sex on a female or even a male slave is inconceivable to these men and prohibited in their literary guidelines.
There have been many different thoughts and responses to chattel slavery. For a human being to be treated as property by another is utterly dispicable. I wish that the masters could have been enslaved to see how it feels
