In my opinion, as a Irish-English girl yes they did. They left Ireland to a handful of englishmen, and those englishmen were landlords to those of Ireland. The Irish popualtion were used as potatoe farmers. They were not compansated for their work. And most were left to starve. Ireland was full of poverty. And disease. The only wealthy people in Ireland were the English occupied areas. It quite sad.
If you look up the history of Ireland, you would be shocked.
Slavery probably first came with the Romans who kept slaves. The Irish slave trade began in about 1625. (By "Irish slave trade" I mean the English enslaved the Irish.) The British had slaves already when they colonised countries so slavery would have been brought with them at the same time.
He is British and Niall is the Irish one :)

Because the ethics and morals at that time allowed for slavery, and they wanted a cheap workforce. But this went for all who used slaves, it wasn't special for the british.
Mainly because other Africans were selling them.
In the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, explorers from Europe went to Meso America and claimed the land, even though it already belonged to the natives. They used the natives as slaves and killed many of them.
The British Irish Ulster Forum was created in 2009.
It was an economically viable option to use slaves.
They're British and Irish... Niall's the only Irish one.
