Synopsis
Excerpt from Ourselves Alone in Ulster In a speech delivered on December 14, 1917, Mr. Lloyd George spoke of "a definite and clear line of action, intelligible in consciences of a certain quality" - "Ourselves first, ourselves last, ourselves all the time, and ourselves alone." "It is pretty mean, he added, but there are in every country men built that way, and you must reckon with them in the world." A subtle question of casuistry could be raised as to how great a number of people must be united to make this motto either a despicable or an honourable one. It would doubtless be thought very creditable in an Empire. How about a United Kingdom - a Nation - or half a Province of a nation? This problem was decided without difficulty by northeast Ulster. The superiority of its wealth, the vigour of its creed, the self-confidence of its men - there were its sufficient credentials for a policy of ourselves first and last, "ourselves all the time." North-east Ulster had no wrongs pr sufferings to proclaim to the human conscience. The only trouble was a story as old as the world, that in its proud prosperity it fell into those fearful apprehensions that haunt the way of the wealthy, driving them in every age to multiply safeguards and shelters for their riches and power. North-east Ulster required, in a changing world, that the guarantees of its commercial interests should remain unchanged.

Ourselves Alone in Ulster (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the motivations and actions of Ulster Protestants during World War I. The author begins by exploring the region's history of religious and political tensions, arguing that the Protestant community felt threatened by the prospect of Irish Home Rule. He then traces the rise of the Ulster Volunteer Force, a paramilitary organization dedicated to resisting Home Rule, and discusses its connections to the British government and army. The book also examines the role of the Protestant clergy and the Orange Order in promoting resistance to Home Rule. The author concludes by arguing that the actions of Ulster Protestants during World War I were motivated by a desire to maintain their dominance in Northern Ireland. This book provides a valuable insight into the complex relationship between religion, politics, and violence in early 20th-century Ireland.
