| ARTICLES RELATED TO loyalism | | | |  loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Anglo-Irish War - The TreatyUltimately, the peace talks led to the negotiation of the Anglo-Irish Treaty (1921), which was then ratified in triplicate: by Dáil Éireann in December 1921 (so giving it legal legitimacy under the governmental system of the Irish Republic), by the House of Commons of Southern Ireland in January 1922, so giving it constitutional legitimacy according to British theory of who was the legal government in Ireland), ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Anglo-Irish War - The Propaganda War Another feature of the war was the use of propaganda by both sides. The British tried to portray the IRA as anti-Protestant in order to encourage loyalism in Irish Protestants and win sympathy for their harsh tactics in Britain. For example, in their communiqués they would always mention the religion of spies or collaborators the IRA had killed if the victim was Protestant, but not if they were Catholic (which was more often), trying to give the impression, in Ireland and abroad, that the IRA were slaughtering Protestants. They encouraged n ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Anglo-Irish War - The Truce — an uneasy peace The war ended in a Truce on July 11, 1921, in some respects, the conflict was at a stalemate. Talks that had looked promising the previous year had petered out in December when Lloyd George insisted that the IRA first surrender their arms. Fresh talks, after the Prime Minister had come under pressure from Herbert Henry Asquith and the Liberal opposition, the Labour Party and the Trades Union Congress, resumed in the spring and resulted in the Truce. From the point of view of the British government, it appeared as if the IRA's guerrilla campa ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Anglo-Irish War - Violence Spreads Volunteers began to attack British government property, carried out raids for arms and funds and targeted and killed prominent members of the British administration. The first was Resident Magistrate John Milling, who was shot dead in Westport, County Mayo, for having sent Volunteers to prison for unlawful assembly and drilling. They mimicked the successful tactics of the Boers, fast violent raids without uniform. Although some republican leaders, notably Éamon de Valera, favoured classic conventional warfare in order to legitimise the new ...

| | | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - Outbreak of the Rebellion The nucleus of the rebellion had imploded but the counties surrounding Dublin rose as planned and the long threatened rising began, surrounding districts of Dublin were first to rise and rebels then began to assemble in Wicklow, Meath and Kildare. The first clashes of the rebellion took place just after dawn on May 24th, and widespread fighting quickly spreading throughout Leinster with the county Kildare bearing the brunt of rebel attacks.
Despite the Government successfully beating off almost every rebel attack, all military forces ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - The Rebellion Spreads In Wicklow large numbers rose but largely operated away from settled areas and engaged in a bloody rural guerilla war with the military and loyalist forces. "General" Joseph Holt led up to 1,000 men in the Wicklow Hills forcing the British to commit substantial forces to the area until his capitulation in October.
In the north-east, Presbyterian rebels under Henry Joy McCracken briefly occupied Antrim town on 7 June before being defeated on 13 June. In Down, after initial success at Saintfield, the rebels led by Henry Munro were ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - Plan The initial plan was to take Dublin, with the counties bordering Dublin to then rise to prevent the arrival of reinforcements with the remainder of the country to then rise and tie down other garrisons. The agreed signal for the rest of the country to rise was to be the simultaneous interception of the outward bound mail coaches from Dublin.
Last minute intelligence from informers provided details of rebel assembly points at Smithfield and Haymarket however, and they were occupied by a huge force of military barely one hour before reb ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - Government Crackdown and Counter Revolution The shaken Establishment responed by launching a campaign of repression and coercion using tactics that included house burnings, torture, pitchcapping and murder, particularly in Ulster as it was the one area of Ireland where large numbers of Catholics and Presbyterians had effected common cause.
Sectarianism was recognised as a usefully divisive tool in the classic "divide and rule" method of governance by the establishment and officially encouraged by the Government. For example, Brigadier-General C.E. Knox wrote to General L ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - Society of United Irishmen The promise of reform inspired liberals to found the Society of the United Irishmen in 1791, openly putting forward its policies of democratic reform and Catholic emancipation, reforms that the Irish Parliament had no intention of granting and the British government just as unwilling to enforce. The declaration of war against France in 1793 following the execution of Louis XVI forced the Society underground and toward the French revolutionary model of agitation as opposed to the American example. The avowed intent of the United Irishmen and ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - Atrocities The prelude to the rebellion was characterised by the vicious brutality of Crown forces towards rebels, real or imagined, but large scale massacres quickly accompanied the outbreak of the rebellion. Almost every British victory in the rising was marked by the massacre of captured and wounded rebels, and they were responsible for particularly gruesome massacres at Gibbet Rath, New Ross and Enniscorthy, burning rebels alive in the latter two. In addition, countless civilians were murdered by the rampaging military who also practiced gang rape ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - French Landing On 22 August, nearly two months after the main uprisings had been defeated, about 1,000 French soldiers under General Humbert landed in the north-west of the country, at Killala in County Mayo. Joined by up to 5,000 local rebels, they inflicted a humiliating defeat (known as the Castlebar races to commemorate the speed of the English retreat) on the British at Castlebar and set up a short-lived "Republic of Connaught", before final defeat at the Battle of Ballinamuck, in County Longford, on 8 September 1798. The French troops who surrendered were repatriated to France in exchange for British prisoners of war; ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Anglo-Irish War - Michael Collins and the IRA Michael Collins was the main driving force behind the independence movement. Nominally the Minister of Finance in the Republic's government, he was actively involved in providing funds and arms to the IRA units that needed them, and in the selection of officers. Collins' natural intelligence, organisational capability and sheer drive galvanised many who came in contact with him. He established what proved an effective network of spies among sympathetic members of the Dublin Metropolitan Police's (DMP) "G division" and other important branche ...

| | | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Alan Campbell pastor - Brief biography Campbell was born in Belfast on August 6, 1949 into a staunchly Presbyterian home, in a Roman Catholic area. His grandmother was a very firm adherent of the doctrine of British Israelism, and thus he was exposed to this teaching from a very early age. Despite his upbringing, however, he didn't experience a true conversion to Christianity until September 19, 1965, when he repented in the Ravenhill Free Presbyterian Church after listening to Ian Paisley preach on Matthew 8:12 ("But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer d ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - Aftermath Pockets of rebel resistance remained in Wexford with the last rebel group under James Corocoran, veterans of the battle of New Ross, not being defeated until February 1804. Wicklow experienced a form of fugitive warfare in the years after 1798 but the failure of Robert Emmet's rebellion in 1803 finally convinced the last organised rebel forces under Michael Dwyer to a negotiated surrender a few months later.
The 1798 rebellion was probably the most concentrated outbreak of violence in Irish history and resulted in the deaths of c. 30, ...

| | | | | loyalism: Encyclopedia II - Irish Rebellion of 1798 - Legacy of 1798 The aftermath of the rebellion in counties most affected became known as the "Great Silence" due to the reluctance to speak of the rising both to forget horrific experiences of the fighting and fear of the ensuing repression. As a result the immediate version of the rebellion put out by the victors was of a fanatical rebel mob capable of extreme savagery led on and encouraged by priests to drive all heretics from Ireland and this crude version of events is still, to ...
