Full video: youtube.com/live/LFZh9rcEH… "[They] take you away from your parents or your children - or both - people that you love & everything you've ever known. They put you in chains and they drop you off someplace else and they work you until you die. How long would you live?"

I am so proud of the work @saytheirnamesIr has done in identifying Irish-born slave holders in South Carolina. This is genuinely seminal research, the product of years of research. IAAM CFH has published it online on our archive iaamcfh.omeka.net/s/IAAM_CFH/pag…
