S7E15 Rise Republic Rise: The United Irish Uprising in Newfoundland

Curious Canadian History

29-03-2022 • 21 mins

In the late 18th century tension in Ireland boiled over into a full scale uprising. This uprising was put down yet some Irish republicans fled to Newfoundland where they found a social, economic and political climate ripe for agitation. While the island was spared some of the more violent conflicts between Catholics and Protestants like that seen in Ireland, the tension between the two faiths continued to be a problematic reality in the British colony. In 1800 this tension boiled over in an attempted uprising centred around the key port city of St. John’s. Get add free content at Patreon!
