What Barbary Pirates Did to Irish Women in 1631 (Hidden History)

It was the middle of the night in 1631 when the doors were kicked in. In a single terrifying event, the entire population of Baltimore, Ireland, was dragged from their beds by Barbary Pirates. Over 100 men, women, and children were loaded onto ships and taken to North Africa to be sold in the slave markets of Algiers. Most would never see their home again. Only two ever returned. But the Sack of Baltimore was just the beginning. Historians estimate that between 1530 and 1780, more than 1 million Europeans were captured and enslaved in the Ottoman Empire. This is the brutal, untold story of the trade that history books often forget. What really happened to the women of Baltimore? 📚 Sources & Citations: Robert C.
