The Legacy Of John Ireland

The book explores a life story of Sam Houston from this beginning in Tennessee to joining school, then the military, up to when he became a political leader. The book also focuses on expressing ideas that present his impact on Texas, since he had become an influential person. The book explains that he managed to establish a War against Mexico. The book focuses on characterizing Sam’s influence on Texas, through a focus on the political environment in the region during the early days as a Republic.

In this paper I will highlight one of the governors of Texas. Dolph Briscoe was the governor of Texas from 1973 to 1979. Not only was he a governor, he was also one of the largest individual land owners in Texas history. This in a state known for huge ranches. His philanthropy has provided support to a wide range of educational, medical, scientific, and cultural institutions. In this paper I hope to provide a little insight in to how much this man has impacted the evolution of Texas.

Life in the 1930's anywhere was not as glorious as life today, but one country to focus on is Ireland. Not having good transportation, housing, and resources was a good source of death in a lot of places in that time period, but Ireland was especially important. Ireland was and is still considered a very poor country but today isn't as bad as then. Disease was a very big cause of death with the lack of medical supplies and affected young children the most. A story that would show Ireland's poverty would be Angela's ashes, the book I chose for this research project. It shows what life was really like in Ireland in the 1930's and how poverty impacted people's life.

The first humanoids appeared in Ireland during the 7th millennium BC. They are believed to have arrived from France and Scandinavia over the open ocean. They settled areas on the North Eastern coast of Ireland. During the Mesolithic period inhabitants depended mostly on fishing and hunting and gathering. Curraghs, light weight boats, were used to navigate inland water and coastal fishing. The only remnants of this culture are the imprints left in pottery, there were no major contributions to the island itself.

The Effectiveness of Irish Catholic and Nationalist Leaders in Advancing Their Cause in the Years 1801 and On

A large part of Irish history revolves around Ireland’s long and bloody fight for independence from Great Britain. However, what many people do not know about this conflict is that it did not only play out in these two countries, but was carried over to North America during the 19th century by the Fenian Brotherhood. During that time many Irish people doubted a rebellion in their own country could be successful, because the British military proved to be too strong and unwavering. The Fenian Brotherhood approached the problem from a different side by attacking British colonies in Canada in order to pressure Great Britain into releasing its claim on Ireland. These attacks were called the Fenian raids on Canada and occurred between 1866 and 1871.

When Protestant settlers became more prominent in the Irish government they declared Ireland a Protestant country. This caused religious tyranny for the Catholic majority in Ireland. Although Ireland was declared a Protestant country, the majority of the natives living there were Catholic [The Irish Story]. A declaration that Ireland was a Protestant country caused resentment in the Catholic communities towards Protestants. The maddened Catholics tried to rebel against the repressive laws. Religious oppression was an important aspect in the onset of the Eleven Years War. The Irish Catholics pledged to stay loyal to England under Charles l as long as he didn’t get rid of the Catholic religion or their religious freedom [Library Ireland]. The

There are many different beliefs that every culture has and different ways that each person is raised to live their lives. As a teacher it is always important to understand and attempt to respect each persons culture. One person could be taught that the way that they eat their food can become an insult to somebody from another culture. Another person can say that they celebrate the birth of Christ with Christmas when another can argue that they celebrate the begging of the winter solstice instead. Everyone has a different culture that they live with every day and each culture has a different foods, traditions, and holiday celebrations.

In 1845 Ireland was troubled with the devastating famine known as the Great Potato Famine, which ended up destroying 75 percent of all their potato crops and starving millions of people (Madding). In order to survive many were forced to move away in hopes of starting new. Many fled to Scotland, England, South America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. The famine brought many changes to the Irish culture, people, and music as well as to the American culture, people and music.When the people of Ireland immigrated to America they brought with them the traditions, stories, and music with them, which later influenced many songs and musicians we hear today.

The Irish Experience was an altogether different and far more violent struggle than the Revolutions in England or Scotland. Whereas James was deeply unpopular in both England and Scotland, he was very well liked in Ireland. While William was consolidating his power in England, James’s Lord Deputy, Richard Talbot, secured Ireland for him. James himself landed in Ireland from France on the twelfth of March. He promised religious freedom to the Irish, although he refrained from making Catholicism the main religion of the State. There was deep popular violence, between the native mainly Roman-Catholic Irish, and the almost entirely protestant English Protestants. Both sides sided en masse with respectively, James II and William of Orange. The decisive battle in this struggle was the Battle of the Boyne.

Another cause common to both groups of nationalists was “getting Ireland for the Irish”, as O’Connell said during his efforts for Repeal, or ensuring that the Irish people had control of their own affairs. This might not seem like a major problem today, but at that point, Ireland was being governed from another country that many felt didn’t have their best interests at heart. William Ewart Gladstone, the British Prime Minister in 1886, brought up this issue when introducing the first Home Rule bill to the House of Commons. Because the law came to Ireland “with a foreign aspect, and in a foreign garb”, it didn’t feel to the people to be truly Irish law or coming from their needs. Because of this, even legislation with good intentions were met with distrust and displeasure. He argued that sometimes it wasn’t enough that the laws were good; they needed to come from the right source as well. There were, however, points to be left to the Crown, including imperial affairs, the armed forces, and foreign relations. They also shouldn’t pass a law favoring one religion over another. The Home Rule Conference agreed on these points, asking only for control over domestic affairs to be placed in the hands of an Irish Parliament. They also agreed in the belief that increasing Irish autonomy would strengthen and honor the Crown rather than weakening or degrading it.

A movement was started in Ireland to regain home rule. This movement was started in 1858 by a secret revolutionary society known as the Fenian Brotherhood. This group was created to help solve the crises of the potato famine, the poor government, and the ongoing problems with the church. Between the years of 1856 and 1870, the Fenians organized an uprising in Ireland with invasions in British cities and outbreaks in Canada (de Nie). The goal of this society was to achieve independence from England by using force. This revolution would be successful if certain groups in the society were strong. The Fenian Brotherhood started a movement that influenced Britain’s and the United States’ foreign and

The Divided People of Ireland Ireland is a country with two very different peoples living there,

Culture can be viewed as the customs, arts and social interactions of a particular nation, people, or other social group. It can also be defined as an appreciation of the arts and human intellectual achievement (Examples of Culture). Ireland is the land of many cultures ranging from a cosmopolitan style around the Dublin and city areas to the South-Western areas which are like a blast back in time many centuries. Thousands of Irish are involved and practice in the art of musicals, dance, and storytelling. A great many also work in industries, producing items such as glass, ceramics, ironwork, wood-turning, linens, embroidery, and knitwear (Britannica, 2017). Irish pubs are a huge way of life in the communities, it’s where the locals meet and converse and enjoy some of the world finest beer and whiskey. The diversity of the Irish culture is that of one many people seek out to visit and take part in.
