The United Irishmen: Wolfe Tone and the 1798 Rebellion
from The History of Ireland: Rebellion, Empire, and Independence — Fexingo History · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the 1798 Rebellion, led by the United Irishmen under Theobald Wolfe Tone. They discuss the influence of the American and French Revolutions, the formation of the Society of United Irishmen, the harrowing events of the rebellion itself—including the battles of Vinegar Hill and Ballynahinch, the massacres at Scullabogue and Wexford Bridge—and the tragic fate of Wolfe Tone. Along the way, they touch on key figures like Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Napper Tandy, and Henry Joy McCracken, and consider the rebellion's legacy as a foundational moment in Irish republican history. #1798Rebellion #WolfeTone #UnitedIrishmen #SocietyOfUnitedIrishmen #VinegarHill #Ballynahinch #Scullabogue #WexfordBridge #LordEdwardFitzgerald #NapperTandy #HenryJoyMcCracken #IrishRebellion #IrishHistory #IrishRepublicanism #Presbyterian #Defenders #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
