It never ever seems to amaze me just how evil and brutal the British forces were against not only the Rebels but the civilian population. They treated them worst than animals. Another very informative video Davy and a great brief account of the United Irish men and the major battles. Go raibh maith agat. 🇮🇪💚🍀✊
And after all these years we have not learned that being brutal to an innocent civilian group leads to more rebels more retaliation and normally spurs an unwinnable gorilla war of constantly every enemy you kill, another 2 pop up in anger.
Your videos are so much appreciated by me, and if I could speak for others of Irish dissent, please keep doing what you’re doing. Although my grandmother was from Mallow, in County Cork, so were my great grandparents on my mother side, all Irish. Went to Ireland for my 40th birthday. And when my feet touched the grass, I felt like I was home. But the history is so complex and intriguing, you make it to where people can understand it. And I’m talking more about the conflicts. So please keep doing your videos in I love them.❤
The British soldiers that played their part in invading ireland At the same time they was running the slave trade in England and selling coloured people in the market square like they was cattle rather than human beings the English considered this to be normal behaviour I always believed that these people was Barbarians.. 💓🇮🇪💓💓💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪 England Steel hasn't realized that stealing the north of somebody else's country ireland over 100 years ago was clearly unacceptable behaviour from England. Most of the English people still don't understand the difference between right and wrong....
It is sad how the irish forgot the Faith for which their ancestors were opressed and fought against the Crown. Many irishman outright hate the Faith of their ancestors
Brutal this is to listen to .. and watching you climb that hill .. knowing as you do what had happened there .. how many valiant lives lost .. including women and children .. how heavy yiur heart must be .. Already saw this on Patreon .. but felt the need to comment again .. thanks to you .. those who died will never be forgotten ..⚘☘ Jen999💙
Davy, as I mentioned before, I am a newcomer to your channel. This is a great service for those of us interested in the history of Ireland. Thank you for your time in putting these videos out. I look forward to new topics and am excited about searching through the archives of what you have already done. Have a great day!
Great job! Never knew there were so many battles, a number of them successful in the 1798 rebellion. But, of course, You Know Who writes writes most of the histories that get published and they tend to trivialize all Irish efforts to obtain their freedom. How about a little something about "The Men of the West?"
Again you never sees to Amaze me with the knowledge off our history thank you davey i have always felt proud of our forefathers and National pride that they left us IRISHMAN AND PROUD
Another great video! After visiting Ireland last October(2022) , I have become very interested in Irish history and find your videos very informative and helpful. Thanks!
I realize that this rebellion was sandwich between the Jacobite Rebellion and the larger Revolutionary Wars with France, but it amazes me that this isn't more widely known. Thanks Davy.
The United Irishmen had no viable military structure. It was a coalition of poorly trained and armed local forces formed of farmers and rural folk led by largely clueless "well to do" leaders from disgruntled Catholic and Protestant backgrounds with precious little campaigning and combat experience. The demise of Gaelic Ireland stripped the country of the ability to organise and wage war against crown forces on any major and effective scale. By 1798, the most talented Gaelic military leaders were fighting with the armies of France, Austria, Spain and Russia, or plying their trade as officers in various armies in South America.
Davy I live on the Curragh, and Im going to visit the Gibbet Rath, the Priests Grave and St. Brigids statue in Kildare town tomorrow, to remember. If youre ever up these parts get in touch, its walking with history here, from pre-history, to relatively modern times (the Curragh Camp).
The men who were killed in the ambush in Carlow were buried in a mass grave too. 640 men are buried there. It’s terrible that such a number of people were betrayed by one of their own leaders

Thank you Peter!
Portadown 1641 as well as other villages, if your stomach can handle it
My God!! 😢May all these brave Irish souls rest in peace. They fought the good fight!
Wonderful to see someone so young with so much knowledge of our history keep up the great work
I had a superficial knowledge of this through the song 'Boolavogue'. Thanks for filling in the gaps.

My mother tells us, her father our grandfather, use to roar in there home “AND THERE WE WHERE ON VINEGAR HILL” I’m not sure if it’s a poem r song

Was that “we are the boys of Wexford” song about that time?

Great show!
May perpetual light shine on them oh lord and may they rest in eternal peace
Ive heard even Ulster Scots or Scots-Irish fought in the United Irishman you should talk about that my Ancestry is Scots-Irish 🏴🇮🇪
Top video!

Very interesting indeed, Davy. I can hardly wait to see what else 'the English' can be blamed for. Keep up the great work!
