Download or read book To Hell Or Barbados written by Sean O'Callaghan and published by Brandon Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1652 and 1659 over 50,000 Irish men, women and children were transported to Barbados and Virginia. Yet up until the publication of this book, there has been no real account of what became of them. The motivation for the initial transportation was expressed by King James I of England: 'Root out the Papists and fill it (Ireland) with Protestants.' This revealing work uncovers, for the first time, the history of these people: their transportation, the conditions in which they lived and their violent uprisings.
