@samueljohnson ethnicising reductionism was as popular then as now. But consider the revolutionaries from that colonial landowning class - Casement, Gonne, Markiewicz, Childers, Barton etc. A little more complex than ‘action and reaction’?

@IrishStudiesQUB@zirk.us avatar

@samueljohnson indeed - but the resistance in this case (1922-3) was against an Irish government in Dublin not the colonial power. There are more complex questions arising here as to why Protestants were targeting more in the civil war than the preceding Anglo-Irish war. Citing a 17th century source to explain as ‘reaction’ specific actions in the early 20th century is something historians are wary of. The evidence cited in article would also raise some questions about your opening statements.

@IrishStudiesQUB@zirk.us avatar

@samueljohnson that’s interesting in itself (although contradicting any deterministic action-reaction model), but the article you posted a response to addresses a different conflict and the evidence for widespread violence against Irish Protestants during it.
