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.

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.

theMEHness :: modern european history: Workhouses
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." With the word comes images from Oliver Twist, but this post specifically wishes to discuss workhouses in Ireland. Workhouses were created in Ireland under the Workhouse Act of 1838 (encompassed in the Poor Law Act. The Workhouse Act passed in spite of significant Irish dissent. ("Eighty-six pe...

May 26, 2009. Regarding Andra's question here. Which asked about Irish/English relations in the present. I couldn't find a lot on this in official sources, but I did come across an interesting sort of forum. In which the same question was being asked. Here are some quotes which I think illustrate a myriad of viewpoints. Fine I would say". I see the irish as a bunch of lovable alchaholics[sic] who are handy whenever a road needs to be repaired". There's also the political history to take into consideratio...

http://themehness.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-ireland-became-free.html
May 25, 2009. How Ireland Became Free. This is a good question, posed by Andra here. It's kind of a departure from what I've been talking about, but why not go into this quickly? Or rather, I will try to, since I think one of the problems I've been having in this project is focusing on the big picture, the entire project; I get tunnel vision at points, but here goes. Is a really good resource. In 1921, a treaty was reached which maintained Ireland as a part of the British Empire, but with Dominion. I am ...

theMEHness :: modern european history: Act of Union (pt. I)
http://themehness.blogspot.com/2009/05/act-of-union-pt-i.html
May 19, 2009. Act of Union (pt. I). I currently have three books checked out of the library, all having to do with Irish history. I was doing some reading on Friday, cleverly wrote down some page numbers on my hand, and then, even more cleverly, I got a manicure and washed my hands several times. Not my finest moment perhaps, but I digress. The three books are this (we’ll call this source 1). In fact, the Act of Union is nicely summarized by this. There was to be free trade between Ireland and Britain.
