Evidence 2
Irish-Americans workers . . . were sometimes used as substitutes for slaves within the South. Gangs of Irish immigrants worked digging ditches and draining plantations, building levees and sometimes clearing land because of the danger of death to valuable slave property. One Southerner explained the use of Irish labor on the grounds that: “n-----s are worth too much to be risked here; if the Paddies (Irish) are knocked overboard. . . nobody loses anything.”
Warrant 2-
When you say Irish are thrown over board... you don't lose nothing
Then they are not valued like other white people.
