Why '98: An Inquiry Into the Causes of the Irish Rebellion of 1798
Abstract
Throughout the pages of history, we find traces of rebellion, some just in their causes, others mere evidences of ungrounded discontent. Often a nation, because of superior power, has been able to destroy the independence of a weaker neighbor, to pull the yoke of subjugation so closely around her that her individuality is completely destroyed. However, one nation may be made subject to another, but its inherent rights remain the same and cannot be permanently crushed. They may lie dormant for a time but under serious provocation will emerge to free it or to make it all the more subjected.
