Irish Rebellion of 1798

[@johnroche7541]

That Lord Cornwallis is the same British Commander that surrendered at Yorktown,USA in 1781 during the American War of Independence. Another British General who took part in suppressing the 1798 Rebellion was Sir John Moore. He would die in northern Spain at Corunna in 1801 as his forces were pursued by the French.

What could have been ... Excellent work!

The British Crown and its Terrorist Army has never had a right to occupy an independent like Ireland. I am an ex British soldier with two years service in County Armagh who learnt the lesson of Illegal Occupation between Aug 73 to Aug 75.

I know all about it, some of my own ancestors were part of the United Irishmen. That fact still won't change my loyalism.

[@fyrdman2185]

@@osamaobama Nothing will. After the home rule crisis, the creation of the Republic and then the Troubles I'm afraid there's no going back. There is no sense of Irishness left any longer among Protestants.

It is almost funny ( as in disgustingly ironic ) , when you have countries who carry out ethnic cleansing and the most vile type of murders call those who live in those countries *terrorists* when they decide to fight back . Who are the real terrorists ? A better trained and armed occupier but the invaded countries still fight them and yet the occupier calls them terrorists when they hit the occupier back . That is whether it is in the country where the occupier invades or when the people who were invaded by the foreign occupier decides to take it to the occupiers own door step in their own country .

There were eight of my Horneck family who were murdered in County Wickford by the murderous rebels, men women and children. These rebels should be reviled and condemned not lorded and celebrated.

[@360movement5]

Nobody was ever murdered in County "Wickford", wherever the hell that is

[@LOGOS422]

Should the American 'rebels' be reviled too?

[@osamaobama]

Wickford?

[@garechmurphy6348]

Wickford?. What a Spanner

[@ronind6004]

And your family and their side ? I guess they killed no one ? I believe you mean Wexford which is in the County of Leinster so far as i can recall .
