Question for Oliver Cromwell (or as I Prefer to Call Him, Unsung Monster of the 17th Century)

"Sir, it has come to my attention that a large segment of the Christian slaves that Admiral Blake freed from the Muslim strongholds in Algiers and Tunis were Irish. My question is, were these newly freed men permitted to maintain their emancipation............or were they ultimately a part of 50,000 Irish slave contingent that you ferried off to Barbados some time later? Just curious."......Fair question, no?
