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.
