Synopsis
Excerpt from My Life in Two Hemispheres, Vol. 2
Repeal itself was sought by the mass of the people as a means to an end. In France Irish Nationality is regarded as dead. Here it is not understood. When they fought here, it was for principles and rights, and they cannot comprehend why people should fight for anything else. If you were to tell an American that Celts ought not to be ruled by Saxons,~ he would say you were either mad or drunk.
