It is almost a commonplace of the political moralists that every failure on the part of England to satisfy the moderate and constitutional demands of the I rish people for reform has been followed invariably by a deplorable outbreak of extremist activities in I reland. Unfortunately for the moral, that constitutional demands should therefore be promptly and fully conceded, the statement is almost exactly the reverse of the truth, if I rish history as a whole be taken as the field for induction. The I rish Nation cannot be said to have at any period abandoned its claim to independence. Of the meaning of that claim there was no question from the Conquest to the fall of Limerick. The whole of that period is occupied by a long struggle between the English and the I rish peoples for the effective possession of the island.

Robert Mitchell Henry, Professor of Latin, Workers’ Educator, and author of The Evolution of Sinn Fein (1920). This passionate and brilliant intervention in politics was published just as the Government of Ireland Act (1920) was dividing the nation Henry loved and placing the poor Catholics of the north in an even more hazardous position.
