STORY
Rebellion and dissonance come easy to the proud Irish people. The English have historically despised their neighbors for centuries, and the feeling was mutual. As such, it seemed the unification of Ireland and Great Britain was doomed to fail from the beginning. The Irish feared Britain's tightening grip, squeezing them of what little independence they had. While some submitted, primarily the power-holding Anglican Protestant Ascendancy who only stood to profit further from the merge, others fought back against their ruthless oppressors. Invigorated and inspired by the recent American and French revolutions, leaders rose and fell with their own personal uprisings. Some were more successful than others, but all of them quelled. Ireland was a wounded country that needed to heal, trapped in a vicious cycle of brutality and violence.
Oisin Slattery, a Dundalk flax farmer, suffered with the rest of his people. For too long he witnessed the atrocities committed by the British against the Irish and did nothing about it. His older brother and father lost their lives in the rebellions of 1798 and 1803, respectively. The British called their deaths and the deaths of those who also perished justice, but it only served to fuel future insurrections. In March of 1823, Oisin used his family story to persuade others into challenging British authority. His magnetic speeches and writings motivated hundreds to gather together and protest nonviolently in Dublin, Belfast, and Cork. They intended to move on London when a Limerick rally was disrupted by British and loyalist forces to quell the unrest. The peaceful assembly held its ground prompting the British to open fire on the crowds. Eleven were killed and dozens more injured. As an attendee and event organizer, Oisin was apprehended and charged with a slew of crimes the corrupt, biased British court deemed him suspect of. Following the farce that was his trial, they exiled him to New Holland where he ended up on Van Diemen's Land.
