The UUP can talk to loyalist, sec- tarian killers in The Maze, but not to the third largest political party in the North which has signed up to the Mitchell principles of non-violence, or to the IRA, who unlike the Loyalist Volunteer Force and its various associ- ates, is adhering to its ceasefire. Just a week before Trimble's party was going to have to address the nitty- gritty issues at the core of the dispute, after having avoided them (with Tory At last!

  • Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas
    Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish. Understand the confusing cultural icons of bagpipes, kilts, Celtic whistles, etc. Understand the history of Moravian, Lutheran, Mennonite, Amish, Dunkards, Presbyterian, Puritanism, Huguenot, Quaker, Methodist, Congregational, and Baptist denominations that have churches in the Carolinas. Understand why and when surnames became common. Understand ancestor Margaret Moore‘s recollections of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689. Understand motivations of Scotch-Irish and German immigrants during the 1700s and terms of their Carolina land grants. Understand relations between early Carolina immigrants and Native Americans. Understand why Scotland‘s heroine Flora Macdonald came to live in North Carolina in 1774.

    4.5.2.3. OUR McLARTY SCOTCH-IRISH HERITAGE A Family History By Ethel Clift Phillips 1989 This copy was given to Marilyn Irish by Bert Hamilton in 2000. He felt that the McLarty family was connected to our Hamiltons but was not able to prove it. He felt this family did at least parallel ours in many ways. Scanned and OCRed by Marilyn Irish in March, 2006 Edited to correct OCR errors September 2019. 1 CUSHENDALL, Northern Ireland ‘Curfew Tower’ in center. 2 DEDICATION This volume is gratefully dedicated in loving memory to my immigrant Scotch-Irish grandfather James McLarty, and to my mother, the late Elizabeth Jane nee McLarty Clift. To most of the related readership of this book, she will best be remembered as “Aunt Eliza Clift”, once of R.F.D. (Holly Springs), Hornick, Iowa. Her internest and care in saving family letters from Ireland, family photos, her many letters and notes, and her recollections articulated to the author through the years, have been of inestimable inspiration and value in preparation of this manuscript. Elizabeth Jane was the eighth child born to the immigrant James McLarty and his wife Ann nee Ervin. James was then 53 years old. James McLarty (1827-1903) and wife, My mother instilled the vision of this Ann Ervin McLarty (1845-1931) grandfather (who died many years before I was born) as a most kind and gentle family man. For him the new world did not prove to have streets of gold, but he survived many adversities with patience and great fortitude while rearing a large family.

  • Perpetuating Nationalist Mythos? Portrayals of Eighteenth Century Ireland in Twentieth Century Irish Secondary School Textbooks
    PERPETUATING NATIONALIST MYTHOS? PORTRAYALS OF EIGHTEENTH CENTURY IRELAND IN TWENTIETH CENTURY IRISH SECONDARY SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS Adam C. Murphy A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2013 Committee: Dr. Christopher Frey, Advisor Dr. Margaret Booth Dr. David Jackson © 2013 Adam C. Murphy All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Christopher Frey, Advisor This case study has sought to examine degrees of nationalist bias found in Irish secondary school history textbooks over an 80 year period (1922-2002). Specifically, this study will be examining textbook narratives of four major topics in eighteenth century Irish history: the Penal Laws, “Grattan’s Parliament”, the Rebellion of 1798, and the 1801 Act of Union. The eighteenth century was selected for study, as opposed to more comparatively recent and controversial events, such as the Easter Rising of 1916 or the partition of Northern Ireland, to look at an era that would be outside the living memory of textbook authors. These are topics that are also susceptible to distortion or appropriation by later generations of Irish nationalists to fit a teleological narrative of a centuries-long struggle for Irish independence from Britain. This study has sought to determine: whether nationalist bias is present in the narratives of the selected textbooks, whether levels of bias have changed over the course of the period studied, and whether bias found was found pervasively throughout textbook accounts or limited to isolated passages that do not reflect the rest of the text’s account.
