  • BOOK THREE CHAPTER THREE Chapter Two of Book
    BOOK THREE CHAPTER THREE Chapter Two of Book Three of Dirty Birre extends from about 976 A. D. to about 1086 A. D., which is that period from the time of Domhnall (King No. 173) to the time of Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain (King No. 178) who mled with opposition from 1055 A. D. to 1086 A. D. The continuation of this history of Ireland in Chapter Three of Book Three will extend back three years or so, as the dates of the rule of the Irish kings overlap so that 1083 will be a noted date for the beginning of the mle of the next Irish Monarch. It is probably important to remind the reader that the High Kings (or Ard Righ) of Ireland at this time, all mled Ireland with opposition from others, and that started after the time of the battle of Clontarf, when Brian Bom and his son were killed by the Danes.

  • Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James
    The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................................

  • The Global Irish and Chinese: Migration, Exclusion, and Foreign Relations Among Empires, 1784-1904
    THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Washington, DC April 6, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Barry Patrick McCarron All Rights Reserved ii THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Carol A. Benedict, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is the first study to examine the Irish and Chinese interethnic and interracial dynamic in the United States and the British Empire in Australia and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Utilizing comparative and transnational perspectives and drawing on multinational and multilingual archival research including Chinese language sources, “The Global Irish and Chinese” argues that Irish immigrants were at the forefront of anti-Chinese movements in Australia, Canada, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. Their rhetoric and actions gave rise to Chinese immigration restriction legislation and caused major friction in the Qing Empire’s foreign relations with the United States and the British Empire. Moreover, Irish immigrants east and west of the Rocky Mountains and on both sides of the Canada-United States border were central to the formation of a transnational white working-class alliance aimed at restricting the flow of Chinese labor into North America. Looking at the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender, this project reveals a complicated history of relations between the Irish and Chinese in Australia, Canada, and the United States, which began in earnest with the mid-nineteenth century gold rushes in California, New South Wales, Victoria, and British Columbia.

  • History of Gangs in the United States
    1 ❖ History of Gangs in the United States Introduction A widely respected chronicler of British crime, Luke Pike (1873), reported the first active gangs in Western civilization. While Pike documented the existence of gangs of highway robbers in England during the 17th century, it does not appear that these gangs had the features of modern-day, serious street gangs. Later in the 1600s, London was “terrorized by a series of organized gangs calling themselves the Mims, Hectors, Bugles, Dead Boys [and they] fought pitched battles among themselves dressed with colored ribbons to distinguish the different factions” (Pearson, 1983, p. 188). According to Sante (1991), the history of street gangs in the United States began with their emer- gence on the East Coast around 1783, as the American Revolution ended. These gangs emerged in rapidly growing eastern U.S. cities, out of the conditions created in large part by multiple waves of large-scale immigration and urban overcrowding. This chapter examines the emergence of gang activity in four major U.S. regions, as classified by the U.S. Census Bureau: the Northeast, Midwest, West, and South. The purpose of this regional focus is to develop a better understanding of the origins of gang activity and to examine regional migration and cultural influences on gangs themselves. Unlike the South, in the Northeast, Midwest, and West regions, major phases characterize gang emergence. Table 1.1 displays these phases. 1 2 ❖ GANGS IN AMERICA’S COMMUNITIES Table 1.1 Key Timelines in U.S. Street Gang History Northeast Region (mainly New York City) First period: 1783–1850s · The first ganglike groups emerged immediately after the American Revolution ended, in 1783, among the White European immigrants (mainly English, Germans, and Irish).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology by an authorized editor of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. THE RISE OF CRIM'E IN THE PERIOD 1830-1860 PAuL DOLAN' One of the most absorbing subjects of the great middle period in American history is the social transition which was effected. The scope of such movement would demand greater treatment that could even be thought of in a brief survey, but perhaps a somewhat su- perficial discussion of one particular phase of this general topic may aid a bit in comprehending the full force of the movement. The chief characteristic of this period seems to be the relentless surge of man against his natural surroundings-especially that to the west of him, the great ever-present, ever-diminishing country "over yonder." This constant surging, disgourging, and engourg- ing mass movement could not help but leave its mark. We are not interested here with effects in the long run or evidences pointing to what was finally accomplished by this westward drive, but rather let us look at one of the phases of the movement, somewhat as one would at a particular mud geyser among the many phenomena at Yellowstone, and see how it reacts just a bit apart from the pano- ramic whole.

  • Those Darn Irish Excerpts from a Diary Concerning the Bruce Invasion by Andrew Nolan
    Those Darn Irish Excerpts from a Diary Concerning the Bruce Invasion by Andrew Nolan "We have a simple statement for [British Prime Minister] Mrs. Thatcher: Disengage from Ireland and there will be peace. If not, there will be no haven for your military personnel, and you will regularly be at airports awaiting your dead." -- A May 1, 1988 statement from the Provisional Irish Republican Army claiming responsibility for a car-bombing which left three British soldiers dead. The statement was printed in a front-page story in the New York Times on May 2, 1988. Call me Maupas. Sir John de Maupas. Knighted by Edward II, who is King of all England by grace of God and right of succession, and sent to this accursed island of Ireland by the same king, to do battle with the Godless Scots and lay them low. I only hope the rain stops soon -- it rains frequently now, and not the gentle fall showers which bring the first hints of winter. It's a driving rain, one which ushers in the cold and damp winter which has been coming earlier and earlier these years. The ground is too wet to sow any crops and so the people again face the monster starvation, alone and helpless. < 1> All because of the accursed Scottish king Robert and his foul brother Edward. Tomorrow, the so-called high king of Ireland will see what a true defender of the faith can do. I will kill Edward the Bruce with my own hands. I suppose I should first outline what happened -- how this usurper stole the crown of Ireland and how we came to be here at Faughart, where the Irish have traditionally crowned their kings.
