My Protestant great great great great grandfather was a proud Irishman who was exported by the English as an Irish rebel in 1820. 203 years later I am as proud to be Irish as he was despite not having been to Ireland.
Protestant or catholic that does not matter these men died for Ireland. They fought against the crown and died defending the values of the Irish Republican movement. May we never forget no matter affiliation when one dies to defend the oppressed they die heroes of the oppressed of every nation
the orange, white and green flag was later -- 1848. In the time of the United Irish, the Orange Order was founded deliberately to undermine all unity between Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter (Presbyterian and other Protestant sects).
Unfortunately the new free-state elite (the forerunners of FF and FG) found it easier to use Catholicism to give legitimacy to their robbing blind of the Irish people to enrich themselves. That's why the free-state turned into a priest-ridden hellhole that lasted until the mid eighties.
My ancestors were Ulster Protestants that settled in Pennsylvania in the mid-18th century. One of them joined the British military and defended a frontier fort during the French and Indian War, but later supported the American Revolution by serving several years as the commissary to the Continental Army, a complicated, difficult, and dangerous job under miserable conditions.
I'm also of Ulster protestant ancestors... From Antrim and Down... Many americans have this ancestors... known as Scotch irish in the USA... I'm from the fulton line of Lisburn (where also Henry Fulton an united irishman born who probably is a cousin),,, It's strange to say Ulster Scots fought alongside catholics and after became pro loyalists
@@TheGabriel12341 Because the average Ulster-Scot had his own reasons for supporting the United Irishmen, they were barred from power sharing by the Anglican establishment. The leaders of UI were just liberals who supported and inspired by left wing radicals of the French revolution like the Jacobins. This all started to fall apart as expected when they got crushed by the British army and sectarianism started arising among the ranks.
Yes, the Orange Order was deliberately set up to undermine the United Irishmen and played a big part in the repression after the Rising, which drove a lot of Presbyterians to emigrate to the US and Canada
I'm protestant myself as well as a damn proud Irishmen. My family name dates back to a Irish Gaelic Noble Family in Connacht. Religion doesn't define a person.
@Never Unprepared I'm with the other lad, I'm Catholic born and raised, but this isn't the fucking 1600s. "Love your neighbour as yourself" if you hold religion to such a high standard how about you follow the commandments. :)
@Never Unprepared 1 Corinthians 2:15 "the spiritual man is free to judge the world and he himself not he subject to judgement. Read your bible before getting into tribalism about it
@Never Unprepared no, you make poorly inspired pseudotheological comments on youtube videos that inspire division between fellow Christians, just as the satan wants.
@Never Unprepared also to love your neighbour as yourself is the greatest commandment, the 7 deadly sins are a extra-biblical development and therefore prioritising them over the word of God is not living your bible, it's being a selfish contrarian
With all due respect to the song, I absolutely love. They forgot about roddy mccorley Even though he does have a song about him. I think he also deserved a verse in this ballad.
This history of Irish nationalism is why, during Oscar Wilde's visit to the US IN 1882, he went to visit Jefferson Davis, to talk about the "lost cause" of the Confederacy. His parents were Irish Protestant Nationalists, so for them, their own nation's "lost cause" was an extremely important topic of conversation.
they were nothing the same though, the south never had any real claim prior Ireland did, the south was fighting for slavery not freedom, Ireland was fighting to free themselves from slavery.
@@fkboyStalin Yes, exactly, and in my opinion that might be a reason why Jeff Davis did not have that conversation with Wilde, claiming to have a headache and leaving the dinner table. Davis's wife and daughter stayed, and the talk was of literature instead of politics.
Well, as a Scottish Presbyterian by upbringing, this lifts the soul. We are not anti-Irish nor anti- catholic. We are all Jock Tamson's bairns, we are all humanity. There is only one race, the human race.
Unfortunately they don't teach Irish history in school here in Northern Ireland so the people in my community will never learn anything about these men sad really. We need to get rid of segregated schools and maybe there'd be hope.
we got taught Irish history in primary school in Dublin but not much in secondary school. I've learned most of history of Ireland and other places through reading and listening.
In the areas settled by ulster Protestants here in America we learn about why we came how the Presbyterians were affected by the penal laws and how we are Irish and how we fought the British and turned the American revolution to America’s side
@@Tomk6286 facts they feed Presbyterians lies calling the Catholics oppressors when the penal laws which were made by the English church to keeps its power affected them too
@Never Unprepared Does threatening someone by saying "you're going to hell" will help? Sure I'll try to make them Christian but threatening them isn't the way
It was these Protestant men who started all this nonesense then it lead on to be Sinn Fein and the IRA who not only murdered their own but innocent people police ,Army so I take no pride in this song…I’m proud to be an Ulster Protestant but even prouder to be a Christian bought by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ….May you all be born again and ready to meet the Lord who is coming soon for his own…🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
you know what i hate that ( im prod) protestants say i hate all irish what about irish protestants and also hate secterianisim i have irish heritage doesn't mean im in the IRA.
Majority formally Catholic but largely non-practicing except for ceremonies of Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation. Also wedding. The Catholic Church controls most education in the Irish State and gives Catholics first choice of place for their kids, which gives the Church the means to enforce compliance, at least formally. If the Church lost control of education I think you'd see a further drop in even ceremonial observance and already the churches are fairly empty on Sundays. In addition there are Protestants (various sects), atheists, agnostics, Jews, Muslims, Hindus .... Education should be state-staffed and managed and secular, with education about different religious beliefs as part of the general curriculum.

As Wolfe Tone and the Proclamation of 1916 were quite clear on, Ireland for Catholic, Protestant and dissenter. The orange, white and the green.
