The Civil War Memorial Task Force reconvened in June 2020 to consider supplementary interpretative signage for the Civil War Memorial site. The enclosed report was prepared in September 2020 following the conclusion of a series of meetings held between June and September 2020 during which they deliberated and came to a consensus on a series of recommendations that support and complement their original recommendations provided to the Savannah City Council in December 2017 (adopted by City Council in February 2018). The report addresses recommended next steps for City Council to undertake before considering the recommendations in a formal vote to ensure broad public engagement and citizen input. A brief historical summary of Forsyth Park and the Civil War Memorial site is also included to provide historical context to the recommendations of the Task Force. -
Ireland: an Island of Cultural Variety
1 INTRODUCTION IRELAND: AN ISLAND OF CULTURAL VARIETY Throughout its history, Ulster, the northern province of Ireland, has been a place where many different peoples have left their influence. In the last millennium Vikings, Anglo-Normans, Huguenots, Moravians, Italians, Jews and many others have settled here. The strongest cultural influences, however, have been English, Irish and Scottish, a triple blend that has given Ulster its distinctive character. At the narrowest part, only 13 miles separate Ulster – Ireland’s northern province – and Scotland. The sea has been a bridge rather than a barrier. Almost 2 million people make the crossing by ferry every year. THREE NAMES FOR THE SAME PEOPLE Ulster-Scots, Scotch-Irish and Scots-Irish are three names for a people whose origins can be traced to Scotland. In Ulster, where they settled in large numbers in the 1600s, they are known as the Ulster-Scots. In America, they are known as the Scotch-Irish or Scots-Irish. All three terms have a long pedigree – the earliest recorded use of ‘Scotch-Irish’ can be found in Maryland in 1690. THE SCOTCH-IRISH AND AMERICA Over the centuries Scotch-Irish families have travelled to every corner of the globe in search of new lives and new opportunities. In the United States their influence has been huge and their legacy includes pioneers, presidents, military commanders, religious leaders, educators, philanthropists Only two names appear on the printed Declaration of Independence. and giants of industry and commerce. John Hancock is thought to have had County Down ancestry, while Charles Thomson was born in County Londonderry. -
