Synopsis
Excerpt from The Irish Position in British and in Republican North America: A Letter to the Editors of the Irish Press Irrespective of Party
In What I have to say, I own' at once I bear the testimony of a minority only of the Irish in N orth America. But the minority With Whom my views coincide is upt so small as some here and in Ireland may imagine. Many are silent from a constitutional distaste of controversy - many from a weak desire for their own personal ease and tranquillity - many from downright disgust of all things Irish, of a polemical sort. But our minority includes in its numerous ranks, so far as I know, all the Catholic Bishops, and a vast majority of the Priests of Irish origin in North America includes a majority of all our well-toldo settled agriculturists our men iof business, and professional men; includes all the influential and wealthy Irish Protestant population includes almost all, I ob serve, of those who have won on this side the Atlan tic any distinction in literary or politico-literary pur suits. The voice of such a minority, not rashly raised, will not; I am satisfied, be lightly regarded; and of this voice, I dare to assert, I shall be found in this letter the faithful interpreter.

The Irish Position in British and in Republican North America (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between the Irish community and the broader societies of both British and Republican North America in the mid-19th century. The author, writing in 1866, argues that the perception of Irish immigrants in America is often distorted by preconceived notions and misinformation. He challenges the romanticized view of America as a land of opportunity for the Irish, highlighting the harsh realities of poverty and exploitation that many face in large cities like New York. The author, however, also offers a more optimistic view of the Irish experience in British America, particularly in Canada, where he believes they have achieved a greater degree of social and political integration. He contrasts the "town Irish" in the United States, who he sees as largely marginalized and exploited, with the "settled, well-ordered country Irish" in Canada, who have established themselves as landowners and active participants in their communities. The author emphasizes the importance of loyalty, faith, and hard work in building a positive future for Irish immigrants, and he encourages those who choose to emigrate to consider the opportunities offered in British America. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the experiences and challenges faced by Irish immigrants in North America during a pivotal period of history, offering valuable insights into the complexities of identity, assimilation, and political belonging.
