There were hundreds of thousands of Scots sold into slavery during Colonial America. White slavery to the American Colonies occurred as early as 1630 in Scotland.
According to the Egerton manuscript, British Museum, the enactment of 1652: it may be lawful for two or more justices of peace within any county, citty or towne, corporate belonging to the commonwealth to from tyme to tyme by warrant cause to be apprehended, seized on and detained all and every person or persons that shall be found begging and vagrant.. in any towne, parish or place to be conveyed into the Port of London, or unto any other port from where such person or persons may be shipped into a forraign collonie or plantation.
The judges of Edinburgh Scotland during the years 1662-1665 ordered the enslavement and shipment to the colonies a large number of rogues and others who made life unpleasant for the British upper class. (Register for the Privy Council of Scotland, third series, vol. 1, p 181, vol. 2, p 101).
The above accounting sounds horrific but slavery was what the Scots have survived for a thousand years. The early ancestors of the Scots, Alba and Pics were enslaved as early as the first century BC. Varro, a Roman philosopher stated in his agricultural manuscripts that white slaves were only things with a voice or instrumenti vocali. Julius Caesar enslaves as many as one million whites from Gaul. (William D Phillips, Jr. SLAVERY FROM ROMAN TIMES TO EARLY TRANSATLANTIC TRADE, p. 18).
Pope Gregory in the sixth century first witnessed blonde hair, blue eyed boys awaiting sale in a Roman slave market. The Romans enslaved thousands of white inhabitants of Great Britain, who were also known as Angles. Pope Gregory was very interested in the looks of these boys therefore asking their origin. He was told they were Angles from Briton. Gregory stated, “Non Angli, sed Angeli.” (Not Angles but Angels).
The eighth to the eleventh centuries proved to be very profitable for Rouen France. Rouen was the transfer point of Irish and Flemish slaves to the Arabian nations. The early centuries AD the Scottish were known as Irish. William Phillips on page 63 states that the major component of slave trade in the eleventh century were the Vikings. They spirited many ‘Irish’ to Spain, Scandinavia and Russia. Legends have it; some ‘Irish’ may have been taken as far as Constantinople.
Ruth Mazo Karras wrote in her book, “SLAVERY AND SOCIETY IN MEDEIVEL SCANDINAVIA” pg. 49; Norwegian Vikings made slave raids not only against the Irish and Scots (who were often called Irish in Norse sources) but also against Norse settlers in Ireland or Scottish Isles or even in Norway itself…slave trading was a major commercial activity of the Viking Age. The children of the White slaves in Iceland were routinely murdered en masse. (Karras pg 52)
According to these resources as well as many more, the Scots-Irish have been enslaved longer than any other race in the world’s history. Most governments do not teach White Slavery in their World History classes. Children of modern times are only taught about the African slave trade.

Did the Romans really enslave the Angles. I thought the Angles were a post Roman people who conquered eastern and Southern Britain creating England (Angleland)
Looking at th east of England now (and East of Scotland) for that matter it does seem to be more Germanic, from Anglo-saxon and later Viking settlements than the rest of the Country
The Roman’s wouldn’t have been enslavj g Angles in Britain. They would have been enslavjng Celtic Bretons or Cumbrians. Anglos and Saxons were invited to Britain by Celtic Bretons to help them defend against the Roman’s. After the Roman’s left the Anglo Saxons essentially turned on the Celtic Bretons. Theirs many theories on what after after that, but most the Bretons were pushed West into Wales and north into the lowlands of Scotland were they formed Strathyclde.
I do enjoy visiting Anglophobic websites though. If the Scots do vote for Independence from the bloodthirsty Nazi terrorist Devil English in 2014 please emaill me and I’ll send Howard brass a bottle of Scotch, I promise.

Get the history and learn whats been hidden from you and your kids.
Then find out why its been hidden – not taught in skool.
Other wise ” anglophobic means” nothing here becoz nothing here is “sexed up” ….what ever blair meant!
I am African American, but in search of truth, wanting to know who I am, and want to know whats been hidden from me and my kids. Want to know my true history, and I have a strong feeling I already know exactly bibilcally who I am. Believe that Yashua is sending the truth in this time so we will know the real truth, that has never been told. This is the appointed time. Hebrew Israelite a great nation, people:
The fine linens,( King Tuts body was preserved in linen cloth.)that’s why we call it a linen closet. Linen outlasts cotton in clothing and for our bed sheets. The Aloe for the skin and hair ” natural” and less expensive that grows in the dessert. The spices at the markets used for many household treasures. The essential oils, not synthetics cosmetics; used from head to toe and in the house. The Almonds to eat and make mylk. More calcium than a cow, because you can digest it better. Yes biblically royalty is what you see in the mirror. Being melanin enriched from THE RICHEST continent in the world. So dam rich, the Caucasians were literally stealing the people; the gold, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, and then the British monarchs were stealing the African history. Staph, Cape, Head crowns, and the Afican Hebrew history made into Old English a white man named James who said he was a king. King of what ? No rubies in England. They must have been stolen! Ok borrowed.
Muwanga, I don’t know what you mean
Anyway Scotland was an Independent country with its own parliament up until 1707 so it was the Scots who exported their people to America as slaves. However white slavery im America did not last as we all know it became a racist thing, Blacks were easily identifiable, if you were a black, you were a slave.
no only in the north mostly for marranoes/jews , in the south curly haired albions were slaves,,study the tragic mulatto an the post at rasta livewire with albion slaves after their release in 1865 from southern slavery ,the people who falsely call them self white because of red rudy skin were the bleac people in middle english you replace an erase what was in its proper place with the fake white aryan race an dont regret that u forget they day to us u were no threat an we raised mankind as men not pets ,mankind steals land an gives us their debts
Great article. If more people knew about the bondage we shared with out Black Brothers and Sisters they wouldn’t let revisionist idiots like Michelle Bachmann spill their vlies .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnQ3kvrIRVs Truth is the only mirror in which we can see our true selves and evolve.
WHO IS RUNNING THE WHITE HOUSE?
All the comments on the truth about slavery are wonderful and long overdue. The one important thing that we’re missing is the fact that slavery was perpetrated by the wealthy and powerful few against the many, regardless of race or country. These same people had the power to shape and control the rules, guidelines and laws by which the slave traded was conducted. And everybody involved in the slave trade got rich. The wealthiest even had enough money and power to influence the politics and religion of the time—both of which helped keep everybody else in bondage. And you were either wealthy or poor. There was no so-called middle class.
In modern-day America, a few super rich and powerful (multi-billionaires and multi-millionaires) now call themselves donors and they represent and finance the group known as the super PAC (Political Action Committee). The Supreme Court recently ruled that the super PACs can raise as much money from anywhere or anybody they choose–legal, illegal or foreign and, they don’t have to tell anybody where or whom they got all this money from. We see the same dynamic as in past times. In modern-day America you are either rich or broke and there is, in reality, no middle class. That’s a class separation and a divisive method used by the rich and powerful few to control the many and pit one group against another.
Karl Rove who was working as a super PAC leader for the Republican Party to raise unlimited money for the election of Mitt Romney in the 2012 Presidential Election raised almost 400 million dollars from these multi-billionaires and multi-millionaires and even from the Canadian government. Talk about slavery!! All this money was pooled together by a few super rich and powerful people to shape the way the American voter felt about the candidates and to influence and control the outcome of the 2012 Presidential election. Their money controlled everything from the Presidential Debates, the media such as Fox News, right down to Beyonce’s lip-synched performance.
But the real unseen motive by these super PACs is not who the President is, because the super PACs, as the highly financed powerful group they represent, wins either way. Slavery has a new face and its name is the Super PAC. They have raised their sights to the office of the President of the United States and we the working class Americans will once again be the prize and the slaves no matter what our race!! So I ask all of you seekers of truth and justice and enlightenment: Pay close attention. Who is running the country—the President or the super PACs???
You are absolutely correct, I find it funny how people always blame the President for everything, and unfortunately the American people are clueless to the fact that Congress runs the country,and Congress is controlled by the super PAC, this is why I have been trying to get people to insist on term limits for Congress,they do whatever the PAC Tell’s them, it’s not a cure but it’s a start?
