  • @tomtomftube Was the Celtic invasion of Ireland wrong? or the Gaelic invasion of Scotland? How about the King James plantation of Jamestown that brought white settlers to America? If one is wrong, then all are wrong. The world's history is all about war, conflict and wrong doing... but we can't change these things. No-one has an unblemished history.

  • @scotinulster Good point. I'm generally green and believe in the free Irish republic, but you have a good point. people, esp. celtic reconstructionists, glorify the taking or Ireland in the invasion stories, but moan and groan about the plantation of Ulster.

  • Open your mouth a little, you're mumbling too much!

  • We watched this in history lesson :L

  • the ulster plantation like all similar plantations was a crime against humanity

  • @sinnfeinmurderers If it still exists by then.

  • @ProvosAttYourDoor 1921 to 2021 Northern Ireland shall celebrate 100years

  • love the way the guy talks. i just can't understand who he's talking about in 5:00

  • I'm nothing to do with the "DUP/UlsterScots historical society"

    I've just read a few (critically acclaimed) impartial history books. Try A.T.Q. Stewart, Jonathan Bardon, Marianne Elliot or M. Perceval-Maxwell.

    To claim this is revisionist is nonsense when any historian of the plantation has always made the same points.

    (One other point: Why are people always so rude on you-tube?)

  • OK just noticed you meant Chichester. Yes Chichester did use such tactics in the 9-years war.

    Why would displaced Gaelic Irish go to the Pale though?

    I appreciate you have a considerable knowledge of the period and as such I would hope you'd admit that nothing is ever "black and white" in history?

    As I said before many ordinary Protestant tenants settled on uninhabited land, often alongside RC tenants. The Protestant community has every right to be in Ulster.
