So, what does a slave, the Atlantic Forest/Amazon, the Great Depression, Wall Street, a parrot, a burger, and a Dutchman have anything to do with a cup of coffee? Actually, a lot! Coffee is not native to South America. Coffee was brought by the Portuguese to Brazil. As European and American demand increased, the need for slaves to work the crops increased. Approximately 1.5 million slaves were imported at the beginning of the 19th century to work the plantations. Coffee production depended on the
Northern Ireland is known for its humor, its accent, beautiful green hills, and their weather. Although Ireland seems peaceful, more violence happens in the north then you would think. There is terrorism and riots by the IRA used to prevent the British Catholics from trying to change the island of Ireland to a catholic country. All this violence started with the Act of Union over 200 years ago. In Ireland and Great Britain in 1801, the British and Irish governments passed the Act of Union, combining
independence from Great Britain in 1937. The “head” of Ireland is still under Britain’s command. Before Ireland became a country, Ireland was covered in ice and snow, during the the Last Glacial Maximum. The Last Glacial Maximum is the era when ice covered northern Europe, Asia, and America, which was about 20,000 years ago. Ireland is the sixth richest country in the world, which is surprising because it is mostly farm land. Around 600 and 800 B.C. Celtic tribes began to settle on Ireland. Around the 12th
The Effectiveness of Irish Catholic and Nationalist Leaders in Advancing Their Cause in the Years 1801 and On The Act Of Union in 1800 meant there was no longer any Irish institution capable of advancing either an Irish nationalist or catholic cause. As a result the advancement of those causes depended on influencing the British Government directly. The catholic cause initially focused on securing emancipation for the catholic population and aimed to improve the lives
Irish Nationalists attempted to establish continuity with what they believed to be appropriate or suitable aspects of Irish history and culture. These attempts lead to both the revival and invention of a culturally distinct Irish heritage not associated with British rule in order to justify a sense of nationhood and to support the Irish struggle for Independence (Hobsbawm in Laurence, A p176) (Laurence, A p.160).

"the spade" like his and his grandfather, that means he is not going to dig with a spade but he is going to dig into the historical present of Ireland with his pen which is the weapon that he uses against the British colonization. In his poem "A Northern hoard" he talks about the Irish Great Famine of 1845 , in which many Irish died and many other had to leave the country. In the first part of the poem we can see which is entitled "Roots" makes reference to the "old Gomorrah" which the town that
Oliver Cromwell is – and has always been – one of the most controversial characters in British and Irish history. There are few people in Great Britain and Ireland today who have not yet heard of Oliver Cromwell and either loathe him or see him as a hero. Yet, the world is not black and white and so is the truth about Cromwell. In order to understand his role in both countries as a whole, one has to look at the perspective of both nations, Cromwell’s beliefs and his motives. Oliver Cromwell’s religious
The Northern Ireland Marching Season The marching season is where the Protestants of Ireland celebrate William of Orange's victory in the Battle of the Boyne by marching through Northern Ireland via some Catholic areas. These marches take place in July of every year and are usually peaceful. But sometimes they are violent.
