"Legends of Ireland. To St. Patrick’s Day" Automatic translate

Sunday March 20, 7 p.m.

Duration - 75 minutes

Irish music sounds, Irish dance conquers the world. And, then - Ireland is alive. Alive, no matter what. This is not very customary to talk about, but, along with African slaves, the ships of the slave traders massively brought Irish to America. These slaves cost much cheaper (5 pounds - against 50 pounds for an African), but, on the other hand, it was much easier to get them. Without the need to risk life, conquering Africa - everything is at hand. The power of the state is against the helpless poor. Modern historians are trying to hide the national disgrace of European slavery under the term "contract servants", yes… alas, this history will not be redone. Jacob the Second, Karl the First and Oliver Cromwell - are tainted by the Irish grief. That’s just the Irish failed to break. After all, the stronger you compress the spring, the more inevitably it straightens. Irish music sounds, Irish dance is gaining more and more fans around the world.
