'Wholesale and pitiless slaughter' The Causes of the 1641 Irish Rebellion.

By Mr Steven Robert McKnight

Between 1606 and 1609 the religious, ethnic, cultural and social fabric of Ireland would be irrevocably changed forever when systematic migration and plantation of Scottish and English settlers of the Protestant faith came from the British Isles to settle on the island. This clash of culture, between native Catholic Irishman and the protestant British, would fan the flames of rebellion and leave an everlasting legacy on the country that can still be felt to this day. This short essay explores the many causes of the rebellion; and its historical and societal implications both in its time and today. This short essay also closely examines the depositions taken after the uprising took place, and follows them closely as primary sources to examine what really happened in an attempt to decipher what is fact; and what is fiction.
