Thanks for the additional context. It was fascinating to me to discover the story behind our deployment of Marines to Libya and especially to find that it happened so long ago when our nation was just starting out. That was an additional nugget of knowledge that I learned in the telling of the story of enslavement of Irish people which was the reason that I originally bought the book. I had no idea that the British had shipped so many into slavery in the Caribbean to provide labor on sugar plantations. For years, my understanding was that most of the non-native labor was supplied from east African slave markets. There is so much to unpack in that story.
