Though the Irish Rebellion was led by some of Ireland\u2019s greatest political figures of the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century, the rebels were unable to make any gains outside of County Wexford. The aftermath of the Rebellion, as well as the Union Act of 1800, eventually caused an influx of emigration to the United States, Canada, and Australia. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukessays.com\/essays\/history\/the-act-of-union-between-ireland-and-britain-history-essay.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Society of United Irishmen<\/a>, an Irish political organization formed by Theobald Wolfe Tone, a leading Irish revolutionary figure and nicknamed the father of Irish republicanism, joined forces with James Napper Tandy of the Whig Party, and Thomas Russell. On the 11<sup>th<\/sup> of February, 1791, a resolution was passed to apply to Parliament to seek national sovereignty and form a society for the united Irish. Wolfe Tone proposed several resolutions for the new society over the course of six months: denounce the continuing interference of the British establishment in Irish affairs; full reform of the Irish parliament; a union of all religious faiths in Ireland and give Catholics political rights. The society was founded in October 1791 \u2013 the movement spread rapidly across the country. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201c<a>The<br \/>\nweight of English influence in the government of this country is so great, as<br \/>\nto require a cordial union among all the people of Ireland, to maintain that<br \/>\nbalance which is essential to the preservation of our liberties and the<br \/>\nextension of our commerce; The sole constitutional mode by which this influence<br \/>\ncan be opposed, is by a complete and radical reform of the representation of<br \/>\nthe people in Parliament; No reform is just which does not include every<br \/>\nIrishman of every religious persuasion.\u201d <\/a><a href=\"#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The United States witnessed an<br \/>\nincrease of Irish immigration in the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century as the British<br \/>\nGovernment continued to oppress Catholics in Ireland. These laws also<br \/>\nprohibited Irish Catholics from emigrating, meaning that most emigrants were of<br \/>\nScots-Irish heritage, or identifying as Protestant. However, some Irish Catholics<br \/>\ncould make the journey if they agreed to work as indentured servants without<br \/>\npay for up to five to seven years for free passage. Statistics relating to<br \/>\nIrish immigration to America estimate that approximately half a million people<br \/>\nhad originated in Ireland. Of these, over two-thirds are said to have been<br \/>\nScots-Irish from the province of Ulster. <a href=\"#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However,<br \/>\nmany of the Penal Laws, first introduced in the late 17<sup>th<\/sup> century,<br \/>\nwere later redacted in the 1790\u2019s, making Irish emigration a possibility for<br \/>\nthousands of Catholics. Seeking Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,<br \/>\nthe Irish sought a new life in America to escape the harsh reality of British<br \/>\npolitical oppression. <\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\nHardships<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 During<br \/>\nthe late 18<sup>th<\/sup> century, Ireland was ruled by the Church of Ireland,<br \/>\nor Anglican landowners and aristocrats. Most of the population was not<br \/>\nAnglican, and even if they could accumulate wealth and land, they were excluded<br \/>\nfrom political power. Ulster was dominated by Presbyterians who had displaced<br \/>\nearlier Catholic settlers of that region. Outside of Ulster and Dublin, the<br \/>\npopulation was overwhelmingly Catholic. However, the complex religious division<br \/>\nbetween class and geographic lines created by the British Government lead to<br \/>\nthe idea of dividing and ruling. This system of religious discrimination<br \/>\ncontained Penal Laws \u2013 a series of laws forcing Irish Roman Catholics and<br \/>\nProtestant dissenters to accept the denomination defined by the British. <a href=\"#_ftn3\">[3]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The<br \/>\nIrish witnessed severe disciplinary action if they participated in Catholic<br \/>\nworship, including imprisonment, fines, and sometimes death. These laws barred<br \/>\nCatholics from owning land, voting, holding public office, practicing religion,<br \/>\nand education and were sporadically enforced throughout the 17<sup>th<\/sup> and<br \/>\n18<sup>th<\/sup> centuries. However, by 1832, the laws were completely nullified<br \/>\nthrough the 1926 Roman Catholic Relief Act, the Relief Act of 1791, Catholic<br \/>\nEmancipation Act of 1829, and the Roman Catholic Charities Act of 1832. <a href=\"#_ftn4\">[4]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Between<br \/>\nthe 17<sup>th<\/sup> and 18<sup>th<\/sup> centuries, Ireland had been part of<br \/>\nwars and battles heightened by religious division and discrimination. Both the<br \/>\nCatholics and Protestants, on opposing sides, claimed religious motives which<br \/>\nled to many sectarian massacres, causing the creation of sectarian politics<br \/>\nwhich has dominated parts of Ireland ever since. The history of religious wars<br \/>\nand inequalities led to sectarianism in the general population, though Armagh<br \/>\nwas an exception as the population was evenly divided between the Catholics,<br \/>\nAnglicans, and Presbyterians. The Penal Laws continued to cause tension<br \/>\nthroughout Ireland, leading to volunteer companies recruiting and arming Irish<br \/>\nCatholics to help with the cause. In the mid-to-late 1780\u2019s, Protestant and<br \/>\nLoyalist forces began raiding Catholic homes \u2013 unarming, stealing, and on many<br \/>\noccasions, killing them. Dunmurry, Co. Antrim witnessed a bloody raid which<br \/>\ntook place at \u201cThe Diamond.\u201d Soon thereafter, the principal Unionist<br \/>\norganization of Northern Ireland, the Orange Order, was formed. <a href=\"#_ftn5\">[5]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The<br \/>\nIrish upper class, including landlords and aristocrats, and the British<br \/>\ngovernment collaborated in the promotion of sectarianism across Ireland. The<br \/>\nIrish Catholics had no rights and were alienated by the upper class \u2013 over<br \/>\n6,000 absentee landlords living outside of Ireland owned over seven million<br \/>\nacres of Irish land, making it increasingly difficult for Catholics to survive.<br \/>\nSince they were unable to own land, many experienced famines throughout the 18<sup>th<\/sup><br \/>\ncentury, the first of which in 1740 killed 400,000 Irish Catholics. <a href=\"#_ftn6\">[6]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A landlord in<br \/>\nIreland can scarcely invent an order which a servant, labourer, or cottier<br \/>\ndares to refuse to execute\u2026 Disrespect, or anything tending towards sauciness<br \/>\nhe may punish with his cane or his horsewhip with the most perfect security. A<br \/>\npoor man would have his bones broken if he offered to lift a hand in his own<br \/>\ndefence. Landlords of consequence have assured me that many of their cottiers<br \/>\nwould think themselves honoured by having their wives and daughters sent to the<br \/>\nbed of their master \u2013 a mark of slavery which proves the oppression under which<br \/>\nsuch people must live.<a href=\"#_ftn7\">[7]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thomas Paine\u2019s <em>The Rights of Man,<\/em> released in May of<br \/>\n1791, saw over 20,000 copies printed and sold for digest in Ireland alone. The<br \/>\nenthusiasm for the French Revolution by the Irish people sparked interest in<br \/>\nthe book, shedding light on British Parliament. A few months following the start<br \/>\nof the French Revolution, the Belfast Volunteer company celebrated the second<br \/>\nanniversary of the fall of the Bastille. At this celebration, a new society was<br \/>\nannounced. Theobald Wolfe Tone, an Irish-Protestant revolutionary figure had<br \/>\nbeen asked to remark on the resolutions for the society \u2013 The Society of United<br \/>\nIrishmen. <a href=\"#_ftn8\">[8]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The<br \/>\nfoundation of the societies in both Belfast and Dublin occurred in October and<br \/>\nNovember of 1791. The organization initially demanded democratic reforms,<br \/>\nincluding Catholic emancipation, and continued to fight for the rights of all<br \/>\nIrish men and women. In response to pressure placed on the British government,<br \/>\nsome reforms were granted. However, this period of reform ceased in 1793 once<br \/>\nwar with France broke out in the French Revolution. The Society of United<br \/>\nIrishmen\u2019s path to revolutionary separatism was completed when Wolfe Tone and<br \/>\nHenry Joy McCracken, a founding member of the society, met at Cave Hill in<br \/>\n1795, taking an oath and ultimately launching the Rebellion of 1798. The two<br \/>\nrevolutionists hoped that with the French supporting their movement, they would<br \/>\nbe able to dismantle the connection with Britain so that Ireland could witness<br \/>\ndemocratic reform. <a href=\"#_ftn9\">[9]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the present<br \/>\nera of reform, when unjust governments are falling in every quarter of Europe,<br \/>\nwhen religious persecution is compelled to abjure her tyranny over conscience,<br \/>\nwhen the rights of men are ascertained in theory, and theory substantiated by<br \/>\npractice, when antiquity can no longer defend absurd and oppressive forms,<br \/>\nagainst the common sense and common interests of mankind, when all governments<br \/>\nare acknowledged to originate from the people, and to be so far only<br \/>\nobligatory, as they protect their rights and promote their welfare, we think it<br \/>\nour duty, as Irishmen, to come forward\u2026 We have no national government, we are<br \/>\nruled by Englishmen, and the servants of Englishmen, whose object is the<br \/>\ninterest of another country, whose instrument is corruption, and whose strength<br \/>\nis the weakness of Ireland; and these men have the whole of the power and<br \/>\npatronage of the country, as means to seduce and subdue the honesty of her<br \/>\nrepresentatives in the legislature. \u2013 The Constitution of United Irishmen, 1797<br \/>\n<a href=\"#_ftn10\">[10]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\nStart of a Rebellion<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While<br \/>\nmost of the United Irishmen began as reformists searching for equal rights,<br \/>\nthis society was particularly different from earlier movements. Rather than<br \/>\nlobbying for reform, they aimed for the mobilization of the Irish. These men<br \/>\ndid not focus just on Catholic emancipation alone \u2013 they also hoped to see a<br \/>\nfuture where all Irish people, both Protestant and Catholic, would be equal. \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>In December<br \/>\n1796, 15,000 French troops arrived off the Bantry Bay coast in County Cork<br \/>\nmaking it the closest the United Irishmen would come to victory. However, the<br \/>\npoor weather ultimately saved Great Britain from defeat. Because of this failed<br \/>\nskirmish attempt, loyalists flocked to join the British Army. The rebellion<br \/>\ninitially began in Kildare, Carlow, Wicklow, and Meath, which had been<br \/>\nprimarily suppressed by government forces.\u00a0<br \/>\nThe leaders of the United Irishmen Society felt forced to call on an<br \/>\nuprising and set the date for the 23 of May, 1798. This sparked major risings<br \/>\nin County Wexford, as well as counties Antrim and Down. These counties saw<br \/>\nbattles with tens of thousands of soldiers and freedom fighters, while some<br \/>\nareas, such as Dublin, only experienced small skirmishes. <a href=\"#_ftn11\">[11]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>During this<br \/>\ntime, a statement was released by Dublin Castle, confirming that there was a<br \/>\nmajor rebel success in Wexford. Over 100 men from the North Cork Militia took<br \/>\nplace in the engagement at Oulart, making it the most significant battle of the<br \/>\nrebellion. Wexford became a centralized point of the rebellion, pushing the<br \/>\ncounty over the edge. Rumors were spreading of floggings, pitch-cappings, and<br \/>\nhouse burnings conducted by the North Cork Militia just north of the county.<br \/>\nThere were reports of United Irishmen executions, particularly in Carnew, where<br \/>\n35 prisoners had lost their lives. By Spring 1798, the British began attacking<br \/>\nand attempting to destroy the United Irishmen Society, leading to many of the<br \/>\nleaders\u2019 arrests. On the 26 of May, approximately 34 United Irishmen were<br \/>\nexecuted at Dunlavin, south Wicklow. <a href=\"#_ftn12\">[12]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In<br \/>\nApril 1797, another four Irishmen from Monaghan were executed in front of<br \/>\nthousands of soldiers. The United Irishmen, seemingly abandoned by the French,<br \/>\nlacked strong leadership and were practically unarmed, despite having over<br \/>\n300,000 members of the society. The executions were effective at undermining<br \/>\nthe society, though also created martyrs such as William Orr, a United Irishmen<br \/>\nwho was later executed in October of that same year, charged with administering<br \/>\nthe United Irish Oath to a soldier \u2013 deemed an executable crime by the British<br \/>\nParliament. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In<br \/>\na letter from Lord Visount Gosford, Colonel of the Armagh Militia and Major<br \/>\nWardle of the Ancient British Light Dragoons addressed to Lieutenant General<br \/>\nLake dated 24 of May, 1798, the men discussed the failed rebel attempt to gain<br \/>\ncontrol of \u201cthe Town,\u201d presumably located in County Kildare. <\/p>\n<p>This morning,<br \/>\nabout half past 2 o\u2019clock, a Dragoon from an outpost came in and informed Major<br \/>\nWardle of the Ancient British that a very considerable armed body were approaching<br \/>\nrapidly upon the Town. The whole garrison were instantly under arms and took up<br \/>\ntheir position according to a plan previously formed in case of such an event<br \/>\nhappening. The made the attack upon our Troops, posted near the Gaol, with<br \/>\ngreat violence, but were repulsed: They then made a general attack in almost<br \/>\nevery direction, as they got possession of almost ever avenue into the Town.<br \/>\nThey continued to engage the troops for near three quarters of an hour, when<br \/>\nthey gave way, and fled on all sides. The Calvary immediately took advantage of<br \/>\ntheir confusion, charged in almost every direction, and killed a great number<br \/>\nof them (rebels)\u2026 We took another prisoner whom we have spared in consequence<br \/>\nof his having given us information that will enable us to pursue these rebels;<br \/>\nand from this man we learn that they were above a Thousand strong. <a href=\"#_ftn13\">[13]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rebellion ended in October 1798<br \/>\nwhen government forces overran the United Irishmen just five months following<br \/>\nthe start of the violent bloodshed. The conclusion of the rebellion saw 34<br \/>\nmembers of the United Irishmen executed, all of which were leaders of the<br \/>\nsociety \u2013 Theobald Wolfe Tone being one of the executed.\u00a0 Out of fear of further rebellions or<br \/>\nskirmishes, the British Parliament quickly enacted the Act of Union of 1800 in<br \/>\norder to bring Ireland under Britain\u2019s control. Wealthy landowners supported<br \/>\nthe Act of Union which unified Ireland and England as the United Kingdom in<br \/>\n1801. <a href=\"#_ftn14\">[14]<\/a>This<br \/>\nunification between two separate kingdoms caused much disdain and heightened<br \/>\noppression against the Irish Catholics throughout Ireland, despite the British<br \/>\nredacting many of the anti-Catholic laws. <\/p>\n<p>First Article of<br \/>\nthe 1800 Act of Union: That Great Britain and Ireland shall upon Jan. 1, 1801,<br \/>\nbe united into one kingdom, and that the titles appertaining to the crown shall<br \/>\nbe such as his Majesty shall be pleased to appoint. <a href=\"#_ftn15\">[15]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Emigration<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the 1790\u2019s, many of the Anti-Catholic Penal Laws were repealed making emigration more obtainable for the Irish. However, despite the repeals, the effects of years of hatred and oppression carried on for centuries later, leaving some to sacrifice their identity to create a better life for themselves and their families. Other Irish Catholics, however, took this moment to gather as one to rebel against Great Britain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukessays.com\/essays\/society\/effects-war-nationalism-unionism-3727.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">igniting a new wave Irish Nationalism<\/a> \u2013 a wave that carried on for centuries later. Through this new form of nationalism, the Irish continued to rebel against the British in various uprisings throughout the 19<sup>th<\/sup> and 20<sup>th<\/sup> centuries. <a href=\"#_ftn16\">[16]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the early<br \/>\n1800\u2019s, Irish immigration to America increased significantly, partly due to<br \/>\npromotional advertisements placed in Irish newspapers and journals, posters<br \/>\ndisplayed in Irish towns, as well as the continued oppression the Irish<br \/>\nCatholics experienced daily. Many immigrants underwent the three-month long<br \/>\njourney departing from ports all over Ireland, including Derry, Cork, Limerick,<br \/>\nand Galway.<a href=\"#_ftn17\">[17]<\/a><br \/>\nHundreds of emigrants were crammed into steerage of ships, also called \u201cCoffin<br \/>\nShips.\u201d The dismal conditions on board these vessels often caused disease and<br \/>\nillness, such as typhoid, to spread like wildfire. Steerage was the most common<br \/>\nclass for the Irish to travel as it was the least expensive and sometimes free<br \/>\noption for the immigrants, especially for those who agreed to become indentured<br \/>\nservants upon arrival. By 1840, almost half of America\u2019s immigrant population<br \/>\ncame from Ireland, settling in cities, such as Philadelphia and New York, along<br \/>\nthe east coast. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Irish<br \/>\nsettlement into Canada and the United States ignited following the 1798<br \/>\nRebellion, many arriving as political refugees from Northern Ireland. Of these<br \/>\nimmigrants, approximately 5,000 emigrated per year from Ulster alone arriving<br \/>\nin Philadelphia, Newcastle, Wilmington, and New York. Many of the Irish had<br \/>\nexperience in construction, road working, tilling, and clearing land and would<br \/>\nprove to be beneficial to the Americans during the Industrial Revolution. Since<br \/>\nthe Irish were experiencing better living conditions in both Canada and the<br \/>\nUnited States after escaping oppression in Ireland, the immigration flow<br \/>\nincreased, and by the mid-1800\u2019s, there were more Irish in Canada than British<br \/>\nor Scots. <a href=\"#_ftn18\">[18]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As yet it\u2019s only<br \/>\nnatural I should feel lonesome in this country, ninety-nine out of every<br \/>\nhundred who come to it are at first disappointed. Still, it\u2019s a fine country<br \/>\nand a much better place for a poor man tan Ireland. \u2013 John Doyle, a letter to<br \/>\nhis wife. <a href=\"#_ftn19\">[19]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Irish<br \/>\nimmigration gained momentum during the mid-19<sup>th<\/sup> century in the<br \/>\nUnited States and Canada. Thousands of Irish immigrants landed in these<br \/>\ncountries hoping for a better life for religious freedoms, opportunities both<br \/>\nin the workplace and with their land, allowing them to raise their families<br \/>\nfree of oppression and harsh realities. However, in many instances, the<br \/>\nprotestants of the United States still frowned in disgust upon the Irish<br \/>\nCatholics, portraying them as poor, drunk, and belligerent. Life in America was<br \/>\nnot always easy for the Irish settlers, though it did open new doors for the<br \/>\nemigrants, allowing them to make significant impacts the world would see a half<br \/>\na century later: the color photograph, invented by John Joly of County Down;<br \/>\nthe monorail, invented by Louis Brennan of County Mayo; the submarine, invented<br \/>\nby John Philip Holland of County Clare, who later commissioned the invention to<br \/>\nthe United States Navy in 1900. <a href=\"#_ftn20\">[20]<\/a><br \/>\nBetween 1820 and 1930, approximately 4.5 million Irish immigrants migrated to<br \/>\nthe United States. <a href=\"#_ftn21\">[21]<\/a><br \/>\nThe Irish continued to influence the world in many ways, all of which<br \/>\npositively affected the lives of millions around the world. <\/p>\n<p>Bibliography<\/p>\n<p>Bartlett, Thomas. \u201cBBC \u2013 British History: The 1798<br \/>\nIrish Rebellion.\u201d\u00a0<em>BBC News<\/em>.
