It wouldn't have been a question of anyone 'relinquishing' power...it would have been a democratic Republic...what part of that don't you understand? There was always a small Orange Order contingent in the 1700's who favoured creating a UK with Britain. This subsequently happened in 1801, after London, wishing to 'claim' the island of Ireland, used its usual trick of 'divide and conquer' & encouraged more moderate Protestants who had previously gone under the United Irishmen banner to go pro-UK.

Yes that was a typo haha. But why do you think the prods change their allegiance from Ireland to England. Because they realised mother England across the water was a less of threat to their power than the catholics living amongst them. Do you think these people would have voluntary relinquished their power to the majority after the rebellion?

Scotland is about to go through a great political change over the coming years, my fear is that those that support the Union play the Religious card......if fact I've heard George Galloway play it already. My hope is that the people of Scotland will move towards an Idependant Scottish Republic....I live in hope...........ALBA GU BRATH!

Yes, it's not half as black and white as some have tried to make out. Also, it was the Anglican church that championed the Irish language and quite a few Presbyterians in NI spoke and prayed in Irish (Gaeilge). Today, there is still a Presbyterian bible group in county Antrim that pray and study in Irish. The Catholic church actually discouraged Irish in favour of Latin. It's amazing how history has become very skewed to suit certain sections of society. Ireland - United we stand.

bacabu30: I'm from Scotland. I don't recall being taught anything of this part of history, had to stumble acroos it myself.......British/Irish history was condensed down to the point where it was simple.....IRA/Rebels = Catholic & Everyone else = Protestant......could you get any further from the truth?

Yes, indeed. A lot of brainwashing and misinformation has gone on for ever so long unfortunately.
Are you from NI or Scotland?

No, not true actually. Surely you mean 1798? What do you even know about the 1798 Rebellion? Under Wolfe Tone, the United Irishmen (who consisted of Protestants and Catholics alike) declared their belief in a peaceful future for Ireland in which Protestants and Catholics could live together in peace and with equality. They wanted to set up a French-styled democratic republic in Ireland, which was independent of Britain.
So, what's your point?

Not so much that they forget.......more a case of us not being taught this part of history in the first place.

If the proddies has won in 1789, the whole of Ireland now would be just like the north. The catholics ruled by the protestants.
