    When talking about modern Ireland, one thing that needs to be mentioned was how a Protestant Irish Parliament successfully gained independence for Ireland between 1782 and 1800, during which time Catholics got most of their rights back, with most Irish people of different faiths uniting under the ideologies of either constitutionalism or Republicanism, with both in favour of varying degrees of Irish sovereignty/autonomy and increased personal rights. This independence ended when a failed Republican Revolution in 1798 led British prime minister William Pitt to intimidate and bribe the Irish Parliament into merging the Kingdom Ireland into the UK after an initial Union vote failed. Ireland’s Parliament was forced to merge with The British one (though the courts and civil service of Ireland remained separate, but nominally subject to Westminster from now on). People on both sides seem to have completely forgotten this chapter in Irish history, because Protestants and Catholics fighting together for an independent Irish Kingdom doesn’t fit anyone’s narrative, and yet it had a major impact on the island. Unionism, Republicanism and Constitutionalism all originate from the original Irish volunteers that used the opportunity of the American Revolution distracting Britain to revolt in 1782. This heralded the independence and has shaped all aspects of Irish politics ever since

      Add to that the use of the Orange Order as a sectarian catspaw after 1798 to turn presbyterians against catholics. It was also an effective tool in neutering the lower classes. Previously to that, its membership had been mainly Anglican/CoI and centred in Cork and Dublin. A lot of the subsequent sectarian violence that cropped up in the subsequent two centuries can be tracked down to the creation of that false consciousness.

    Ireland was incorporated into the United Kingdom by the Act of Union of 1800, not 1900. This is a bit of a different kettle of fish than the loser term the British Empire. An English presence existed in Ireland since 1169 during the reign of King Henry II. At least it said so in all the history books I read. The corrections such as these are important my dear fellow, not because I like to show the world just how damned smart I am (although I thoroughly enjoy that aspect of it), but are actually intended to improve and enhance your work. You see, when a viewer discovers that you have gotten such a fundamental fact thoroughly wrong (off by a century, no less) how can one possibly trust or rely on the correctness of your broader conclusions. That, my dear sir, is why the nit-picking shall not cease until I have thoroughly pointed out every mistake currently being promologated on the internet, or until my last ounce of strength finally leaves my body. You're Welcome. PS I know that promologated is spelled incorrectly, however, being a lifelong member of the Democrat Party, I am exempt from following my own rules. Thank-you.
