Ireland's history of slavery began with Viking raids in 795 AD, leading to the capture and enslavement of Irish people. While traditional slavery was abolished by 1102, it was replaced with serfdom. The English colonization of Ireland resulted in the systematic enslavement of the Irish, with thousands sold to the Caribbean, Barbados, and Montserrat. The conditions endured by Irish laborers often mirrored slavery, with brutal treatment and denial of basic freedoms. Historians continue to debate whether the Irish were slaves or indentured servants, but many were forcibly removed from their homeland without legal agreements.
