To compare slavery in America to Irish Immigrant experience in America is about as ignorant as you can get.
That is your comparison, not mine.
It is different but you really should read up on history. Irish slavery did exist and somewhat predates African slavery. They did not do as well in the West Indies as African slaves and were first even "cross breed" to produce better property. It was eventually abandoned because the Irish were not worth as much. They were more diseased and did not tolerate the climate as well. Therefore, lesser property. Africans were more valuable. The Irish were also exported to Australia. To think that any human being was considered property is unconscionable! Unfortunately, humans have never been very kind to other humans. I.e. Hitler. Japan to the China, Stalin to everyone.
Also, read up on who could own property in the 1800s! Inheritance had nothing to do will selling off children.
