There are more slaves in Africa now than ever existed. But let's all spend on our time living in the past like that loser friend we all know that isn't successful because of someone else's fault 15 years ago.

That Baltimore raid is infamous in Ireland. Irish history books say the Irish slaves melted just before they got to Algiers due to the hot weather.

“The fishermen and coastal dwellers of 17th-century Britain lived in terror of being kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa. Hundreds of thousands across Europe met wretched deaths on the Barbary Coast in this way. Professor Robert Davis investigates.”

It’s so important that patriotic Americans (left and right) know our history and halt the rampant radical left revisionism that erases our accomplishments, revels in our errors, and teaches our children to hate their country.

Barbary pirates captured & enslaved thousands of Americans as well. Some men were castrated or killed. Women & girls forced to be sex slaves. US paid a jizya to Algeria - 16% of our fed budget at the time - to try & keep our citizens safe. It didn’t work, so the US Navy was born.
