- Irish Need Not Apply. Remember that time most of America just didn't like those pesky Irish? Most don't. So let's talk about the era when the Irish horde was the 'biggest' threat to American decency.

It would've been nice if you mentioned how badly the Irish were treated during the Mexican/American war. They were placed on the frontline as living targets and shields for the Protestants; they were starved; their churches were burnt down; their women were raped, etc. All of this caused a sizeable amount of Irish to desert the US army and join their fellow Catholic Mexicans, flying the banner "Batallón de San Patricio" (Saint Patrick's Battalion) to fight against the Protestants who hated them so much.

@@allypaige124 Lol ok Donald Trump, why don't you cry about it some more. "NOBODY has been treated worse in history than me!"
The Irish were never involved in chattel slavery, except as slavemasters once they immigrated to the United States. Being a second class citizen, while certainly undesirable, is not the same thing as being a slave.
Also, if you want justice, go talk to the British. Why should America give the Irish a goddamn thing, since we weren't the ones oppressing them? America DOES owe black people justice and reparations, because this entire country was built on the unpaid labor of their ancestors. But we don't owe the Irish anything, except maybe a potato or two.
@@SRosenberg203 the Irish were enslaved they just called it indentured servitude they were also forced to fight on the frontlines in Britain's wars against their will and 1/3 were wiped out with starvation cause by a fungus that the British brought to the land of Ireland. The Irish ppl were persecuted spit on and stepped on for hundreds of years.
@@kyleparton4610 Indentured servitude is, by definition, not the same thing as slavery. I am well aware that the Irish had their place as the group that everyone else in the world shits on, particularly England. But let's not pretend that most groups weren't subject to equal or worse treatment by another group at one point or another in their history.
@@SRosenberg203
At what point did he say this was a competition.
Secondly i can guarantee you wouldn't always choose indentured servant over slave if u had to go back in time n live one of there lives.
Pretty sure if the potato famine happend to the Jewish people it be a genocide to u.
Lastly the barbary slave trade happend 100 years before the Atlantic slave trade it saw 1 to 2 million europeans took as slaves to north Africa. Yes slaves not indentured slaves.
Why mention this? Cus ppl that tend to highlight the "indentured" bit tend to do so cus they try to diminish what's happend to the europeans. So now av mention barbary. We can not go down that route.
To conclude. With out a shadow of a doubt if any of us now got forced into labour. And many of us died know one would be saying "indentured"
Oh and who built usa. Pretty sure them pictures of European men up massive sky high buildings with a death rate of 1 in 4 played major part in it. Probably not to many rosenbergs up there.
My family name was changed from O’Byrne to Burns so my ancestors could get jobs easier lol
@MAGNI Mac/O Irish names were mostly anglicized by the British. Many Americans with the surnames king/Conroy or Smith may have had Irish surnames originally, like Ó Conraoi & Mac Gabhann.
Sad but not just the Irish,Jewish people changed their names to be a accepted..am from both sides..
Powderly to Plankey for my family. I'm thinking of getting it legally changed back but I'm not sure.
Sean Mcdermott 1916 Mac is normally Scottish I thought ?
@@IncrediibleHauck Mac and O' are both Irish prefixes. Mac is the Irish word for son. Irish mac was more likely to be anglicized to mc than scottish surnames so mc is more likely to be Irish than scottish. 2/3 of all mc surnames are Irish in origin. For example Scottish journalist macmasters changed his name to Mcmasters to appear Irish in the 19th century, stating that mc was Irish and mac was scottish, mc was almost exclusively Irish in that period.
There's tens of thousands of popular Irish surnames that begin with Mc/mac, McCarthy is the 13th most popular surname in Ireland the only mc surname in Ireland which is in the top 20. In scotland Macdonald is the most popular mac surname in scotland in the number 9 spot, the only mac surname in the top 20.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_people
Some popular Irish surnames (McCarthy, (McDermott), (McDonagh), (McNamara), (McGrath), Mcguire, (McInerney), (McEnery), (McLaughlin) also seen it spelled as O'Laughlin too, Mac Domhnaill (MacDonnell), Mac Mathghamhna (McMahon), (McGee), McEnery, mcguinness, mcNally, McGillian, McAuliffe, MacElroy, McEvoy, McManus, McFlannagan, McGillicuddy.MacCorcorans/ Ó Corcráin. Macaulay, Mac Maoláin. McEvoy, McCaffrey.McKeogh), McHugh, (McGovern), (McCormick), (McCann), McGinty, mcclearly. many many more.
When I got to Ireland I tend to see half the surnames as mc and half as O, but in reality most are anglicized alot of us have generic surnames because of British rule.
One of my ancestors had the surname David, but I discovered this was anglicized from Mcdavid or in its true form in Irish MacDaibheid.
I love Irish people and Irish culture

The potato famine wasn't a tragedy it was a genocide. A nation dying of starvation was still exporting food to the rest of the British empire. An attempt to finally remove the thorn that had always been in the side of the British empire.
Lol they literally banned us from eating any other food than potatoes when the crop failed. It shouldn’t even be called a famine cause it was only one crop. People were eating grass and shit lol
It was capitalism, but this doesn't fit any micronationalist narrative.
Yep, the British Empire did the same thing in India leading to death of millions by starvation and disease, in the Bengal Famine/Genocide.
British empire was imperialistic not capitalist
How was it a genocide when a blight caused the famine?

As a Irishman I find the phrase 'luck of the irish' very ironic as we are definitely not lucky.
The phrase is meant to be "tongue-in-cheek" or sarcastic for that very reason. lol
esp because "Murphy's law" is also a thing.

An Gorta M`or, the Irish for the great hunger ,was a ploy used by the British to eradicate and ethnicly cleanse in Ireland, starving us ,almost 2 million died through starvation and related illnesses, the British used this starvation weapon also in India where the death toll was much higher, the abundant foods in Ireland were locked down and heavy protected by British troops, and exported constantly to Canada to feed the British forces there, and also to Britain, another 2 million Irish fled to USA mainly, Slainte.
@@johnkelly1787 Actually it was west Kerry and connaught which had famine cork city and Dublin city suffered nothing your trying to make out the whole island was affected by the way England also had famines in the more remote poor parts
Another major issue is the Irishmen were often speaking Irish in the 1800s, which is about as closely related to English as Russian is. And that language was part of the stereotypes of being barbaric.
Yeah they speak it a bit in northern Ireland and some parts of Scotland but that's about it
WaKaWaKa Whisky They speak it more in the south than in the north especially along the west coast.

Grand Negus- there is a sizeable minority of fluent Irish speakers, the Gaeltachts are very succsessful,it is compulsory at school unless you have a valid reason for exemption and it is still the first language on all State documents! The only reason it is not spoken more widely is because of centuries of suppression and the fact that many people are not great at learning languages other than the ones they are reared to speak and would not be great at French nor German either!

@@azzzanadra How much were you charging back then?
England, after conquering the Irish stole their farms and homes and gave them to themselves and the Scots. For centuries it was against the law to educate Irish children and the only jobs they were allowed to hold were as laborers on farms that were stolen from them, or as storekeepers. Who could expect anything to come of a civilization growing up under restrictions like that?
A million or more Irish died in the potato famine, some of whom died on the roads next to the fenced farms teeming with vegetables and sheep that used to be theirs. Their potato crops on the scraps of land where they could plant them had turned black and rotten for two consecutive years.
My paternal grandmother left Ireland at the age of sixteen to come to the U.S. to get a job so as to keep her family in Ireland alive with the money she could send them. She found work as a housemaid for families in Connecticut and later moved to St. Louis to marry my Grandfather. She raised a big family who helped her build houses for rentals.
All the Irish people I have known were industrious and talented people and honest, religious people as well.
Wow you learn something new everyday
I mean most of the atheists and lazy people I meet are English but you know I seen plenty lazy Irish people but if you’re in America then you probably do meet those Irish people
joe murphy True!!!
Most of this is bullshit lmao. Literally just bullshit to play on emotions. "Many of them starved to death right beside fields full of crops and sheep they used to own" absolute bollocks. Trying to play the victim like a weasel, classic
Yeah in 1640 the Scottish had a famine And the people had to go to Ireland to be fed that's true And even to this day Ireland Is the biggest food producer in Europe And fifth biggest in the world imagine that from a small island to be a bigger food producer than China or India where 600 million people Starve on rubbish dump's
And now, literally almost everyone in Massachusetts probably has Irish ancestry.
I would say Eastern Mass for sure but the rest is pretty Anglo and French
Actually your more likely to be Scots/English Protestant as the majority of Irish that emigrated was from that stock.

I never knew of this Irish ☘️ experience in the United States 🇺🇸, until a fellow man mentioned to me during a break- he shared his parents experience in NY - during the early and mid 1900’s- so difficult and challenging- and kids were shield from it- by getting them Americanized as fast as possible- and, yes in a matter of 60 or 70 +years, the Irish ☘️ experience in AMERICA 🇺🇸 was shelved and very little is known. So, today, history continues to repeat itself- with the NEW wave of “foreigners” mostly Hispanics..in USA
One thing I should mention for Cody is that during the Civil War the Irish were almost always in the thickest fighting like Fredericksburg and Gettysburg.
And they gained a reputation as being hard fighters for both sides.
But sadly the Union mostly used them as cannon fodder.
Actually there's something else that the Irish Italians and Russians have in common along with the other Europeans when they came to this country they ask for nothing and we're giving nothing but a job and yet show love and respect for this country more than what I could say for a lot of our new wave of immigrants

the problem is not that the job is too difficult or dehumanizing for european americans. the problem is that the pay is shit. notice the video says that the irish lived with blacks. that means they were being paid shit wages for hard labor. right now youre laughing, but just wait until your fields get outsourced and you have to compete by taking a pay cut. watered down wages is no joke and the real reason immigration is looked down upon

The penal laws DESTROYED Ireland, the British took our land, they wouldn't let us have an education, we weren't allowed to vote, or practice our religion.This went on for a long time, so when the genocide of Ireland aka the famine came, our poorest tried to escape. Tell me this though, how many countries didn't benefit from the Irish coming.
most of europe , the middle east , most of asia , africa , russia
I think he meant out of the countries the Irish emigrated to, such as England!
Stacked- The Irish immigrants to Britain of the post-war era certainly helped their host country! They helped rebuild the infrastructure that had been destroyed by the Luftwafe and then the NHS recruited young women from Irish convent schools to train as nurses! Second generationers like myself have continued to contribute, especially in public service jobs like nursing!

During the famine ireland was still exporting food to the english while forced to starve as they worked the land.
Work houses were also established separating families subjecting them to forced labour in order to receive food, you also had to convert to protestantism and change your surname to a more english one losing the O's e.g. the surnames O'connor and connor.
@Action Jackson 700 years of getting shat on by the english may have made us a tad insecure of our public image 😅
@Action Jackson
I also have Aferican American and Irish in my family.
Is that what you tell victim's of
sex slavery?
Sex slavery is not cattle slavery either,
it's still slavery, sex slaves are mostly sold in the country they were bought and resided in before they were sex slaves slave's.
The reason you see Irish slavery mentioned with cattle slavery, is because before the Irish became indintured servants they were bought and sold forced to do psychial labor in potato field's in Irland.
No differently than a slave.
After Great Briten lost their Irish slaves to servitude in Irland, they started selling the Irish into other countrie's as indintured servants.
Then Great Briten went into Aferica to find more slaves bought their new slaves to the United States with their indgured servants.
Having Aferican American and Irish in my family doesn't negate documented facts the Irish were slave's in Irland.

They should do that when people get black American history wrong.
There should be a law for both.
Act like a professional historian being that's what you are.
Take a deep breath relax and educate.
Ireland was a net importer of food during the famine and most of the exports were used to pay for cheaper food. The real issue was the starvation wages paid by the public works projects, due to a central government too miserly to raise taxes.

My great-grandfather, An englishman, married an Irish woman from the North and were staunch Portestants. When my grandfather married my Grandmother, also Irish/English but Catholic, they hated her. Both still had family in the old country. My grandfather's mother refused to turn the heat on in the winter, served meat on Friday on purpose, did all sorts of weird passive-aggressive stuff. Then my Grandfather decided to convert. His mother told him "I will not live to see one of my children become a Catholic."...She died on Easter, right when he was getting his Sacraments.
Good thing she didnt live to see her grandson, my father, marry my French-Canadian mother! Tabernak!

The Irish weren't viewed as barbarous by Pope Adrian IV who encouraged Henry II to invade Ireland . (Adrian IV was the one and only English Pope) it was more that the Irish church was not in line with the Roman Church and he wanted it crushed and brought into line. In fact Irish monks were very well educated, the best in Europe at the time, and kept literacy and Latin going in Ireland and throughout Europe during the Dark Ages after the fall of the Roman Empire. In the 17th century, the English invaders passed laws outlawing education for the native Irish. If they got any education at all it was through secret and illegal "hedge schools". Racism is a creed used to justify oppression of peoples.
"Racism is a creed used to justify oppression of peoples."
No, sometimes it's just used to keep people away from other people so that the logical and necessary oppression does not occur in the first place and all peoples involved just stick to wherever they are and don't cause trouble in the others' land.
Also, you're probably a Hadji lover, so preemptively, go chug on a fallafel or however you pronounce that overrated contraption of chickpeas.

I think recent studies of this had confirmed this. If you look at irishmen hair and there facial characteristics you can see it. Yes the irish have prospered more than blacks in the last century. Thats because the irish have pale skinn at the end of the day from mating with celts the last 2000 years. And because at the end of the day they always end up kissing the englishmans ass. Lol. How you do let england only one country punk you guys for a whole millennia. 😂 Even the scots are more respected than you guys. Like how do italians who are way darker and clearly nowhere close to nordic countries be accepted into american society before you guys.
I remember learning about this in school. Quite sad indeed. Love to 🇮🇪 from 🇺🇸
We didn't learn about the mistreatment of the Irish in *MY* schools...
The more I do research about Ireland the more I want to hug every one that is in Irish. Like mother of god you guys have been through so dam much......I hope to one day visit your beautiful county (according to pictures I see).
Yay, another great video
Jared Rojo must be sarcasm, it's another American centric shitstorm
They were the first group of immigrants that came in large numbers that were Catholic. There's always an excuse though with each new immigrant group.
Yep, now its the muslims. People are claiming the muslims will build mosques and invade the American way of life etc. etc. Just like how he mentioned in this video that people thought the irish will build catholic churches and destroy the American way oflife. This is just one of life's inevitable cycles.
Before that there had long been Catholic settlers in Maryland and elsewhere. Not immigrants.
Also because of many Irish having curly hair and freckles, they were not considered to be pure Whites. Although very few Whites were considered pure, ( such as Italians, Germans and Spaniards), the Irish were treated like indenture servants.
Even in Boston MA, they use to have signs that said; “Irish need not apply,”
After a while things got better for the Irish in Boston. Many of them got into the nursing profession and turned around and became very racist towards Blacks.
They made it very difficult for Black people to gain entrance into the healthcare professions. They mainly lived in an area called South Boston and behaved like the KKK.
It seems people that have undergone oppression, just turn around and oppress others.
Look at what happened in Germany and what those people are doing now!
I pray that people can wake up and learn to empathize, especially when they have experienced oppression themselves.
Jennifer Somers this is the realest shit I’ve ever read, I’m Irish and Moroccan and I’ve experienced racial bullying and harassment, I’ve said it to my people that it’s hypocritical to be racist to me when they treat our ancestors like dogs, then they backstabbed the other cultures for acceptance. Honest to god it hurts me 🤦🏽♂️
Empathy and compassion can go such lengths, judgment killed Jesus 🙏🏽
SCAMEUL ScAmBaG you wouldn’t believe the discrimination and harassment moroccans get in my country. The leader of the 2nd biggest party here, ironically named ‘the party of freedom’ actually stated that he wants less moroccans and the crowd was sp enthousiastic...

On St Patrick's Day, I don't "become" Irish, I just express my pro-Irish love, even as an Hispanic. I celebrate St Patrick's Christian life and the good things he did as a teacher of the Bible.
I want to share this part of History of my country about irish people: during 1848, US forces invade Mexico BUT many of the american soldiers were actually irish conscripts; irish soldiers find out mexicans were catholics as them and disrespected by the rest of invading forces, they desserted and even they fought on many battle side by side with mexicans, on the famous Saint Patrick Battallion or Batallon de San Patricio. This desserted soldiers were horrible hunted and torture, even worse tan mexican forces. After the war, many monuments were raise but unfourtunately, were forgotten by local people.
basileushorus cool
There were few who deserted for the Mexicans and it wasn't just Irish.There were Germans and all sorts in that battalion.
basileushorus
I become disappointed every time the California flag and Texas is worn for fashion.
The flag is the symbolization of (English ) American imperialism and supremacy. It was made very clear once the U.S attacked Mexico to "protect Americans" when they were the Immigrants that refused to assimilate, follow laws or even acknowledge the Mexican territory all together.
They could've settled practically anywhere else. There was the sparsely populated Louisiana territory and British Oregon.
lol dude if they wanted to support American Imperialism maybe they would wear a shirt with the American flag and not the two states that tried being their own thing, also that's how countries expanded before now more land = more money. I don't know why Mexican forces weren't ready seeing how fast America was expanding
Finally, someone in this comment section who isn't an edge lord

Cody can you do a video about how the Italians and salvs were disliked. Im Italian so naturally I have an interest in it.
_enoeletnom The next group are the Italians since they arrive in mass in 1860s
slav= old word for slave
Italian mob was fun, and their friends the Jewish bankers. Who retired and who died or was locked up. LMAO Still It's hard for me to understand Al Capone and tax evasion when committing a crime. If I rob a guy do I gotta pay taxes on what I stole? He was just so sly he wasn't a crook and they could only get him on cooked books?
Jay Eisenhardt he always had an alibi. During the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre he was in Florida so they couldn't get him on that.
The Italians and Polish are Catholic like the Irish so that is why they were disliked.
Proud to be Irish born in Galway

Hey, at least you only have one set of discriminated ancestors. One side of my family is Irish but the other side is German.

Pete er, you obviously have never heard of how Irish Indentured Servants were sometimes forced to sleep with pigs, because that was where they belonged.
jokes on you buddy, I'm Native American, yes ive got Irish blood in me, i grew up on a reservation, faced discrimination for white black and latin american people.
I find that Irish people, consdiering the shit that was done to them that honestly makes some of the shit done to Africans look pretty damn mild.
Ever heard of the Brothels? Where Irish women were forced to work because as 'animals' it was less degrading for them than it would be for actual human beings?
How about the fact that aristocrats would throw an Irish woman in with 2-4 African men, take bets on which man got to her first, with the winner getting the money from the resulting child being sold.
Or maybe the fact that unlike slaves, who simply had to earn the money to buy their freedom, Indentured servants had to pay off a debt that was often increasing faster they were able to earn?
what you didnt think that Indentured servants only had to work for a certain length of time did you? No they had to pay off debts, usually debts from fines they were given, simply for being poor, or Irish, in public.
No one is saying blacks had it easy buddy, they are saying that the Irish were just as abused, and hated by everyone else.
But if it makes you feel better to belittle other's pain to make your point seem all that much more valid, feel free to keep it up.
I'll just sit here, thinking about black people are bitching and moaning about how bad they have, with their social assistance programs, and their subsidized housing, while when i was growing up, we had 300 people living in tin and tar shacks, sharing a single well.
Yeah, tin and tar shacks, in the US, in the 90s!!!
Did i mention the fact that Natives are 7x more likely than a white man to be killed by police (blacks are 3x more likely) or that Natives are 33x more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than all other races combined?

Celtic peoples have been scrutinized and discriminated against for centuries. Look into Caesar's holocaust of the Celts if you want to learn more about how these attitudes and stereotypes were built and sustained.
To be clear - when the narrator speaks of how the Brits popularized this, the Brits were apart of the Roman Empire for a LONG time and these are reverberations from those stereotypes that were built and developed under them. It didn't originate in the middle ages. It's been around for much longer than that. The Romans used them as a foil and a scapegoat for the atrocities they committed.
The brits weren't apart of the roman empire for a long time, only for around 350 years and they weren't even properly romanized, they largely retained their own language and culture. Furthermore brits were celts themselves so it makes zero sense to discriminate against other celts. Lastly the celtic brits themselves were driven off by various germanic tribes also collectively known as the anglo saxons. These peoples were not a part of the roman empire and would not possess any inherited roman made discrimination.
There is no proof the romans developed any stereotypes or discrimination against celts, it's clearly an english invention.
ONLY 350 years smh
The word barbarian comes from the Latin (Roman) for beard, and was used to describe Gauls (Celts) in surviving Roman writings.
Also Brits were fucking Saxon and Norman jesus how fucking wrong can you get
Some of my Irish Catholic relatives settled in N. Carolina and before the Civil War there was more intolerance up North , down South much less so...until the war. One was even a Captain in the Confederate Army...
i have irish ancestors that fought for the confederacy as well. if the yankees were so hateful and nasty to the irish, they should've fought for the south as a big fuck you to the yanks,
@Weston Shortnacy south held the slaves not much more hateful than that. Ten times as many Irish fought for the union then the south.
I find Ireland and the modern history of Irish people incredibly fascinating. Where I live, most people I know are Irish. I’m a very, very proud Irish American!

To clarify: it wasn't Catholic Vs Protestant, it was Anglican Vs anything not Anglican. The protestant Presbyterians in Ireland were treated just as bad as the Catholics.
1641 says otherwise. I am Scottish but i'm a catholic and I can read a book. There were massacres all over the place. The Presbyterians eventually tried to work with the Catholics with mixed success. William is not wearing green tinted shades and neither am I.
I agree that the Anglicans were like that, but the Protestants far outnumbering the Anglicans treated the Catholics the same way. Like a three way war!
This eventually led to the troubles.
The troubles are complicated. Scots-Irish and a few Anglicans led the young Ireland movement... initially. Wolf tone being an Anglican ultimately led it. They reached out to Catholic intelligentsia. In the end there was a 40/40/20 Presbyterian/Catholic/Anglican make up who were split between Belfast and Dublin, they rebelled en masse. But the Catholics let the team down, and this is coming from a Catholic.
Had the Catholics been broader minded the following 80 years would have likely been different and N.I. would have been part of a United Ireland.
Anti-Irish racism began with Roman Imperialists.
Eh?

When I asked my friend who is Irish - why are Irish people proud to be Irish".
He said - I don't know - just proud to be Irish.
HISTORY TEACHER HERE: In a lot of places in the US, racism against the Irish was indeed pretty prominent. They were barred from most jobs, as well as public amenities. In such places, they were pitted in competition with blacks for menial day jobs and the relations between the two groups weren't just unfriendly they were quite violent. Also, you leave out the horrendous economic exploitation by England from Elizabeth I to the early 20th century. Finally, anti-Catholic sentiment sure did persist into the 20th century. Even in the liberal post-war North, want ads in the newspaper would stipulate openly that Catholics (and Jews) need not apply. And Kennedy had to prove himself a loyal American to the public, and dispel their fears about voting for a Catholic president. (Hell, just two weeks ago, a friend of mine referred to Catholics as "idol worshipers.")
All in all, this is somewhat informative. Cute, but watered down.
EyeLean5280 I abandoned the church years ago but this makes me feel like going back just to oppose those assholes.
I have a theory that the Irish were only included as "white" during the 60's so they could be blamed for racism. The Irish need to march on Washington & demand they be recognized as an ethnicity. Those false shortages of minorities is their way of continuing to justify discrimination against the Irish.
grimview, is there any discrimination against the Irish in America today?
I see evidence of continued anti-Irish prejudice in England, but that's about it.
EyeLean, in the US Irish is currently linked to white, so when we heard there's "too many white people," or "historical oppression of minorities" the Irish are lumped in with the oppressors while Spanish, Arabs, & LGBT are all magically let off the hook of ever being an oppressor. The goal is promote some identities as better then others, where white is discriminated against like Irish to increase conversions to a different identity or ideology.
The Syllabus of Errors, issued by the Pope in around 1850, told Catholics that Democracy and voting were “errors”. THe Pope wanted Catholics to encourage Leaders or Kings to get approval of the Pope for their roles. Many literate Protestant Americans read the Syllabus but most Irish Catholics were unschooled and unfamiliar with the document. The Syllabus was written support for the Americans to accuse the Catholics of being dedicated to a monarchy overseen by a Pope. That added fuel to the fire.
Damn O'driscolls
We in Italy say that Irish people are nordic Sicilians. Friendly people but can also punch you in the face when you deserve it :D .. Germans British still like to underate other people and then when they meet the wrong person then they put all of them in a bad category. It's still like this Europe. I've heard Italians and Irish people have still a strong friendship in the US. I think it's because they both have balls of steel! Greetings from Sicily

I’m half-Irish half-French…
The green, white, and orange tricolor flag that the Republic of Ireland has today was given to Ireland by women from France who had sympathies to the Irish cause against the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
The green stripe was to represent the Irish Catholics, the orange stripe was to represent the Irish Protestants (who believe it or not DID exist), and the white stripe in the middle was to symbolize the desired and hoped-for union of Catholics and Protestants under one Irish banner.
