Title of Thesis/Project/Extended Essay Author: (signature) (date) I Abstract This thesis examines the meDiary and the controversy that surrounds it, both in relation to genuine emigrant narratives from the mid-nineteenth century, and also in the context of recent scholarly debates about nineteenth century Irish migration to British North America, the historical import of the Great Famine in Ireland, and the modem significance and commemorative function of Grosse Ile National Historic Site (soon to become a National Park). I investigate the construction of national identity in the writing of Irish emigrants to Lower Canada and Quebec during the period of the Great Famine in Ireland and the decades immediately prior to it, when Irish mass migration to North America effectively began. I am interested, then, in tracing how the principles of Irish nationalism, particularly those of the Young Ireland movement (with its avowed antipathy towards the British), disseminate and modulate within a Canadian setting, and how such events as the 1832 cholera epidemic (which led to the establishment of the quarantine station at Grosse IIe), the rebellions of 1837, and particularly the potato blight shape and determine Irish Canadian configurations of national identity. In my first chapter, I focus on the Famine as a spurious text that advances a traditional Young Ireland interpretation of the Famine and of the migration experience as a form of exile, and I distinguish its hostile attitude towards emigration and towards Great Britain from those espoused in Robert Sellar's "Summer of Sorrown (1895), a prior work of historical fiction that presents a polar opposite account of the Famine migration yet provides the main source upon which the meDia is based. In my second chapter, I trace the origins of the Jbnm&my back one step further, to the Anglo-Irish aristocrat Stephen De Vere, whose authentic eye-witness account of the Famine migration, written to pressure the House of Lords into enacting Passenger Act reform, would provide the main source upon which Sellar's text, in turn, is based. Finally, in my third chapter, I compare the- m with genuine Famine journals and emigrant narratives from the 1830s, 1840s, and early 1850s, evaluating whether or not there are similarities between their respective attitudes towards emigration and towards Great Britain while accounting for whatever differences arise between them. I have collated a number of such genuine Famine diaries and Irish emigrant narratives written between 1832 and 1853, which provide ample material for comparison yet have received scant critical attention to date. I also examine these texts and the- against the backdrop of English emigrant narratives that date from the same time frame (Moodie, Traill) to discern whether or not cultural distinctions between EngIand and Ireland inform their respective representations of the migration experience. I am interested primarily, then, in examining how a select group of literate and affluent Irish emigrants choose to represent their migration experience, and, more specifically, whether or not the ethnic, linguistic, political, and religious affiliations of the emigrant communities they ostensibly represent become accentuated or mitigated in a Canadian setting: whether or not they consider Canada to be a land of opportunity and a natural setting for social amelioration or merely an extension of the British imperial domain Acknowledgments Although a scholarly undertaking of this scope will inevitably make use of a large variety of academic sources, I would like to particularly acknowledge Kerby Miller and Chris Morash, both of whose works on Irish emigration and the Irish Famine provided inspiration as well as a very solid foundation from which to undertake my research. I would also like to express my gratitude and indebtedness to Mary Lu MacDonald, Chris Morash, and especially Jim Jackson and Robert Hill for their confidence, support, and suggestions for potential avenues of research both in Canada and Ireland, without whose assistance this thesis would not have been possible. Robert Hill's suggestion that I consult the Robert Sellar manuscript for "The Summer of Sorrow" in the National Archives of Canada proved to be a most fortuitous one for me and provided direction for this thesis; Jim Jackson's enthusiasm and willingness to discuss his current research as weli as the unpublished Stephen De Vere correspondence and memoirs in Trinity College Dublin Library proved an invaluable aid for its completion. I would also like to thank my supervisor Leith Davis and Carole Gerson for their unfailing encouragement and incisive commentary throughout the composition of this thesis; the Department of English, FCAR (Fonds pour la formation de chercheurs et l'aide a la recherche), and a Scott Paper Limited Bicultural Graduate Entrance Fellowship all provided me with invaluable conference and research funding and financial assistance. Finally, my warmest thanks goes to my family and fiiends, especially Oonagh Shiel, Carl Peters, and Karlyn Koh, for their encouragement, reassurance, and emotional support. Table of Contents ..

The monument, erected by the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America, an expatriate Irish nationalist organization, makes a number of implicit assumptions about the emigrants' social and political affiliations, their ethnic profile, religious orientation, attitudes towards migration, and reasons for leaving Ireland. They are in fact not emigrants at all but exiles, having left their homeland not through their own volition but from economic and political compulsion and under extreme duress. Thus, according to the monument, such "children of the Gael," faced only with "foreign tyrannical laws and an artificial famine" while they remained in Ireland, had no choice but to embark for the united States or British North America. Furthermore, their migration is invested with a religious significance. It is a "pilgrimage," a harrowing journey undertaken by famine-stricken Irish Catholics to preserve their faith, escape from English avarice, and maintain an imperiled Gaelic civilization: their mission the retention and transplantation of an endangered set of cultural and religious values. For such migrants, then, emigration is a matter of strict necessity, hardly an opportunity for social advancement or the achievement of material prosperity and

  • From Ireland to America: Emigration and the Great Famine 1845 – 1852
    Volume 2 Issue 4 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND March 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 From Ireland to America: Emigration and the Great Famine 1845 – 1852 Amira Achouri University of Grenoble Alpes, France Institute of languages and cultures in Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Australia Centre for Studies on the modes of Anglophone Representation [email protected] Abstract One of the changes that compose history is the migration of peoples. The human development of colossal numbers from one geographical area to another and their first contact with other social and economic backgrounds is a major source of change in the human state. For at least two centuries long before the great brook of the Hungry Forties, Irish immigrants had been making their way to the New World. Yet, the tragedy of the Great Famine is still seen as the greatest turning point of Irish history for the future of Ireland was forever changed. The paper tends to explore the conception of emigration and how it steadily became “a predominant way of life” in Ireland, so pervasive and integral to Irish life that it had affected the broad context of both Irish and American histories simultaneously. From the post-colonial perspective, my study presents emigration as one of the greatest emotional issues in Irish history, as it tends to have a very negative image especially in the post-Famine era. People are generally seen as involuntary “exiles”, compelled to leave Ireland by “British tyranny” and “landlord oppression” - an idealized Ireland where everyone was happy and gay and where roses grew around the door of the little white-washed cottage.

Yet two distinct voices emerge from the hubbub: those of Charles Trevelyan, a British civil servant who supervised relief operations during the Famine, and John Mitchel, an Irish nationalist who blamed London for the many Famine-related deaths.1 They may be considered as representative to some extent, albeit in an extreme form, of two dominant trends within its historiography as far as London’s role during the Famine is concerned.

Yet, there was one day, Christmas Day 1914, when the madness stopped and a brief peace, inspired by the Christmas story, broke out along the Western Front. The Island of Ireland Peace Park, Messines, Belgium, stands on a gentle slope overlooking the site of one of the most extraordinary events of World War I and, indeed, world history. German soldiers had been sent thousands of small Christmas trees and candles from back home. As night enveloped an unusually still and silent Christmas Eve, a soldier placed one of the candlelit trees upon the parapet of his trench. Others followed and before long a chain of flickering lights spread for miles along the German line. British and French soldiers observed in amazement.

  • Irish Potato Famine
    Background • Nearly half the Irish population (3 million people) depended on the potato as the main part of their diet – The potato is rich in vitamins – An adult rural laborer consumed 14 lbs. of potatoes daily • Together with buttermilk, this provided all of the protein, fats, carbohydrates, calcium, and iron necessary for health – the staple crop because on less than one acre of land, potatoes could feed a family of 10 for a year, as well as pay rent • could be grown on small plots of land • the crop could also thrive on boggy wastelands – But potatoes could not be stored for more than a year Background • between 1722 and 1879 there were no less than twenty-nine 'famines' in Ireland – Deaths from the famines of 1722, 1726, 1728 and 1738 were measured in the tens of thousands – But in 1741 half a million people died from malnutrition and related disease from the famine – famines followed in 1765, 1770, 1774 and 1783 • Again the deaths were counted in the tens of thousands – More famines followed in 1800, 1807, 1822, 1834, and 1836 Vincent Van Gogh’s The Potato Eaters (1885) Irish potato famine 1845-1849 • In the mid 1840’s a European potato blight swept across the continent into Ireland – Blight → a disease that kills plants • Caused by a fungus (phytophthora infestans) – produced “black spots and a white mold on the leaves, soon rotting the potato into a pulp” – Ireland had been hit by isolated potato failures in the early 1840s, but never a complete failure – hit Ireland in 1845 • Potato vines withered in the fields • Potatoes in

  • History of American Democracy Syllabus
    History of American Democracy Course Syllabus Professor David Moss Fall 2015 HISTORY OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY (USW 39, HBS 1139) Professor David Moss Harvard University, Fall 2015 Mondays and Wednesdays, 3:30-5:00 Location: HBS – Aldrich 207 Today we often hear that American democracy is broken—but what does a healthy democracy look like? How has American democratic governance functioned in the past, and how has it changed over time? This course approaches American history with these questions in mind. Based on the case method, each short reading will introduce students to a different critical episode in the development of American democracy, from the drafting of the Constitution to contemporary fights over same-sex marriage. The discussion-based classes will encourage students to challenge each other’s assumptions about democratic values and practices, and draw their own conclusions about what “democracy” means in America. This course is ideal for anyone interested in deepening his or her practical and historical understanding of the American political process, and for those interested in gaining experience with the case method of instruction frequently used in business and law schools. Note: This course, when taken for a letter grade, satisfies the General Education category of United States in the World, as well as the requirement that one of the eight General Education courses also engage substantially with Study of the Past. When taken for a letter grade, it also meets the Core area requirement for Historical Study A. COURSE ORGANIZATION AND OBJECTIVES The course content surveys key episodes in the development of democratic institutions and practices in the United States from the late 18th century to today.

  • AC Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment
    A. C. Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment: Promoting British Colonization in Lower Canada J. I. LITTLE* Between 1829 and 1832 a British settler colony was established on the northern fringe of Lower Canada’s Eastern Townships, in what became known as Megantic county. The main aim of the chief instigator and manager of the project, “emigrant” agent A. C. Buchanan, was to demonstrate the viability of state-assisted “pauper” colonization, as long advocated by Colonial Under- Secretary Robert Wilmot-Horton. Buchanan’s project was successful insofar as he convinced over 5,300 immigrants, the majority of whom were Irish Protestants, to follow the Craig and Gosford roads to the uninhabited northern foothills of the Appalachians. But the British government failed to apply this “experiment” elsewhere in Lower or Upper Canada, and the British settler community did not expand far beyond the townships of Leeds, Inverness, and Ireland because of their isolation from external markets. Instead, French-Canadian settlers moved into the surrounding townships, with the result that the British-origin population became a culturally isolated island of interrelated families that slowly disappeared due to out-migration. De 1829 à 1832, une colonie de peuplement britannique a vu le jour au Bas- Canada, en périphérie nord des cantons de l’Est, dans ce qui deviendra le comté de Mégantic. L’instigateur et chef du projet, l’agent d’émigration A. C. Buchanan, avait pour objectif premier de prouver la viabilité, avec le soutien de l’État, de la colonisation par les « pauvres » que préconisait depuis longtemps le sous- secrétaire aux Colonies Robert Wilmot-Horton.

The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction.
