There is a great band called The Wolfe Tones... obviously named after the Irish revolutionary. They play great rebel music. One can learn a lot about the struggles and history of Ireland through their music.

I know you only had 3 minutes but the Battle of Ballynahinch? Battle of Saintfield? In Ulster and beyond many Irish Rebellion leaders were Protestant Presbyterian ministers. Many were hung for their rebellion. Good job in covering this significant rebellion in 3 minutes. Best wishes from the Belfast Castlereagh hills.

That's absolutely correct. Too bad that this aspect of Ulster protestant history has been airbrushed by Unionist society today . Brave men deserve their memories preserved. I'm a Catholic from the Republic btw.

Hi Conlaiaria. The problem of 'airbrushing' Irish history by possible Church, State, or Orange or Black, Protestant, historians, was made worse by the teaching offered in State schools. Here school governors reckoned that their students would be wanting to go to 'superior' English and Scottish Universities. For this to happen, English school curricula needed to be studied in State grammars. Thus the set curricula for O and A levels in N Ir. State schools excluded anything of Ireland, in history, geography, English literature/poetry, art etc. If you hadn't passed English Board examinations, mainland universities would not allow you entry. Net result most Protestants of my era learnt nothing of Ireland at school. Being brought up a Protestant, my knowledge of Irish history has been self taught, after I left school and Uni. Having left grammar school decades ago I am honestly not sure if things have changed substantially for the better in State schools. Best wishes from the Belfast Castlereagh hills.

1. It was basically outlawed to be Catholic 2. By law you had to pay fees to the state religion, even if not a member 3. There was a Parliament in Ireland and great strides were made like building the canals (latest technology of those times) 4. Restrictions/taxes on trade from Ireland were imposed to do with protecting Indian cotton 5. Republics were formed in USA and France - France was a *very* big power in North America 6 30,000 people died in 1798 rebellion as they declared a Wexford Republic 7 Property-owners such as Gardiner in Dublin fought in militias to protect the Kingdom 8 Parliament in Dublin voted by big majority in 1799 AGAINST disbanding 9 Parliament in Dublin voted in 1800 FOR disbanding itself - bribed hugely, as mentioned in the video 10 Republican and pro-European ideas took a back seat till Wellington helped Catholics with rights after he was Prime Minister 11 Daniel o'Connell led a campaign for American-style democracy (and his nephew o'Connor led the Chartists to march on Westminster for similar change in London) 12. The Famine was seen as a disaster of Governance and propelled Independence movement for a Republic which the British tried to soften by promising a Home Rule governemt but the First World War was started 13. 1916 the Republic was declared by people who knew all the above...
