Synopsis

This book delves into the complex history of Ulster, Ireland's northernmost province, exploring its unique and tumultuous past. The author delves into the province's early history, the colonizations it endured, the religiously motivated upheavals that shaped its destiny, and the impact of the arrival of British settlers. The book sheds light on the deep-seated issues that have divided the region for centuries, exploring the tensions between the native Irish population and the Protestant settlers, and the lasting impact of events such as the 1641 massacre and the Williamite Wars. This book offers a comprehensive overview of Ulster's troubled past, aiming to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the historical underpinnings of the ongoing conflict in the region.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ulster question is only properly understood by Ulstermen, residents in other parts of I reland having, at the best, an incomplete grasp of the real deep-down issues. It may, I think, with equal truth be added that mere residence in Ulster is not in itself sufficient to lay bare the inner soul of the people, there being in the case of the native part of the population a very wide gap between their secret feelings and that which appears on the surface. In moments of acute political interest this gap becomes sensibly lessened. North Tyrone has been the scene since the Redistribution Bill of more closely-contested elections than any other Constituency in the kingdom; and as one who has taken an active part as principal or otherwise in all of these contests, I have perhaps had exceptional opportunities of getting occasional rather startling glimpses of the real soul of Ulster. ERNEST HAMILTON, M.P. for North Tyrone,
