theMEHness :: modern european history: Catholic and Irish?
http://themehness.blogspot.com/2009/05/catholic-and-irish.html
May 13, 2009. If so, you'd have some problems in 18th century Ireland. At this time, around 3/4th of Irish people were Catholic, despite attempts on the behalf of England to convert them to Protestantism. These attemps first took the form of the establishment of the Church of Ireland. But after disappointing results, the mother country turned to force. In the 18th century, if you were Catholic in Ireland and under the rule of England, you could not:. Hold office or practice law. Go abroad to study. Sourc...

May 13, 2009. By the late 18th century, you had some more freedoms. Vote at parliamentary elections. Bask in your newfound freedoms for a moment. Done? You still could not:. Sit in parliament (I believe this means be a member of, not actually sit. Though I could be wrong). Be a colonel in the army. Be a captain in the navy. Be a minister in the government. Hold anything higher than a junior office in the civil government. Roberts Rinehart Publishers. Niwot, Colorado. 1995. This entry feeds into this.

January 29, 2009. The Pleasure of Hating (Other Nations). The pleasure of hating.makes patriotism an excuse for carrying fire, pestilence, and famine into other lands." -William Hazlitt, "On the Pleasure of Hating". I often like nothing better than finding a connection between classes. In this case, the above quote arose from a personal essay that Non-Fiction was assigned to read. It automatically made me think about the making of nations, as discussed in Chapter 21 of Western Civilizations. As I was rea...

theMEHness :: modern european history: A Letter (?) on Multiraciality
http://themehness.blogspot.com/2009/04/letter-on-multiraciality.html
April 26, 2009. Dear Ms. Cogito et Histoire de la Folie,. Tradition will be maintained, but culture individually innovated.". The one point which I take issue with is this. You wrote that, "In fact, that racially plural, digital face does not represent the people of the future; we're here right now, and guess what? We've always been here." While I agree that "We are here right now," is true, stating that multiraciality is not so much for the future. A few days after Mildred Loving had died. I guess a...

theMEHness :: modern european history: Famine
http://themehness.blogspot.com/2009/05/famine.html
May 25, 2009. Responding to Andra's post. In your post, you comment that, "However, the potato famine was not created by the British, which means that the Irish left the homeland due to a natural disaster, if I may call it that, rather than because of their oppression by the British." You also inquire as to whether there might be a trend in people emigrating from their homes because of oppressive occupations. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Let's Talk About.MEH.

http://themehness.blogspot.com/2009/05/workhouses.html
May 25, 2009. A quick aside on workhouses which were briefly mentioned in my previous post. A workhouse, as defined by. Is "a place where people who were unable to support themselves could go to live and work."

There's also the political history to take into consideratio...
