Was Ireland fated to be a place where violence was the norm rather than the exception? Tellingly, many of the giants of Irish nationalist lore between the 1790s and the early years of the 20th century were Protestants. The Irish freedom struggle was therefore never a monochrome movement, nor was Ireland's Catholic community ever of one mind about the resort to violence in the name of nationhood. Often overlooked in the war of words between "Orange" and "Green" today is the fact that Ireland's modern revolutionary tradition once imagined a united front of Protestants and Catholics in the common quest for Irish freedom. This lecture explores what happened to that progressive ideal. The University of Washington is committed to ensuring digital accessibility in our services, programs, and activities.
