Product Description
Excerpt from A Lecture on Irish Repeal, in Elucidation of the Fallacy of Its Principles, and in Proof of Its Pernicious Tendency, in Its Moral, Religious, and Political Aspects Repeal! Irish Repeal! O'Connell and the Irish Catholics! Emancipation for Ireland. The Queen! The Pope! Irish Independence O'Connell and Sedition! The Arrest of the Liberator! The Conspiracy crushed. "If O'Connell suffers, Peel dies!" Another grand rally for old Ireland! Slavery and the President of the United States! His Holiness the Pope, and the degraded American people who give countenance to slavery! These are a few of the watchwords of the times, that strike upon the ear of an American patriot, in the middle of the 19th century! The sounds are strange. They strike us with surprise. Nay, they appal us with apprehension. The Pope! the Queen! Irish Catholics and African slavery! What a cluster of ill-assorted associations, to be wound up with the name of Daniel O'Connell, Sedition, Conspiracy, and Arrest! Do we really live in the middle of the 19th century? Are we truly awake, or is all this a frightful dream? Is this the chosen land of liberty? Was it here, that the rights of man were erected oil a foundation of blood 1 Was it here that Washington said, in the tones of a father - "Shun the brawls of Europe?" How is this? The fair land of liberty become the battle-ground of kings, tyrants, popes and their political myrmidons? Why all this din and turmoil? Is the Republic in danger? Have the monarchs and popes of Europe hired wretches to insult us? Incendiaries to stir us up to riot? Slanderers to defile our freedom? Monarchists to scold us for slavery - themselves the slaves they pity? Or, have we lost the recollections of liberty, and sent to Europe for a supply of royal tutors to instruct us in the rights of man? How is this? We are traduced - abused - insulted. And yet the free American has no equal in past history. He can dread no superior in the future. He stands forth a sovereign man

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the political and religious tensions surrounding the Irish Repeal Movement and American Slavery in the 19th century. The author argues that Irish Catholic leader Daniel O'Connell's support for the American abolitionist movement was a strategic ploy to gain political power and advance the influence of the Catholic Church in the United States by organizing Irish Catholic voters through the guise of Repeal Associations. The book analyzes the hypocrisy and deception inherent in O'Connell's actions, revealing the ulterior motives behind his supposed humanitarian concerns. It traces the historical context of the debate on slavery in America and Europe, highlighting the role of the United States in pioneering the movement for African emancipation. Ultimately, the book uncovers the complex interplay between religion, politics, and social justice, shedding light on the enduring struggle for equality and freedom from oppression.
