Abstract

Ireland’s right to freedom can be defended from numerous points, but the outstanding fort of defense rests on her rights as a nation. That Ireland is essentially a nation, I have endeavored to prove; that she has been denied her rights as such, is apparent; how she can regain them, I have tried to determine. As a nation, she has the innate right to freedom, a God-given right. What right England has to domineer Ireland, I have been unable to establish. All evidence on the matter tends to demand severance of Irish and English bonds.

That this question is one of vital import to all Americans may be gained from the fact that the Irish occupy a most prominent place in the make-up of the United States, and other countries. That her position in relation to England parallels ours previous to our Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776, increases and intensifies our interest. That Ireland’s sympathizers number many, has already been shown. What the developments of the Anglo-Irish relations will be, is history in the making, a crisis well worthwhile watching.
