The nineteenth century saw huge changes across Ireland.Population changes were shaped by events such as the Great Famine and the rise of emigration.Religious changes took place in both the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches.Politics changed drastically and political participation involved every class within society.Women’s lives were radically altered while the class divisions within society were strengthened and enforced.This course looks at the events of this turbulent century in the province of Ulster.It will ask questions like did Ulster experience key events any differently than the rest of Ireland? How did Ulster go from the United Irishmen of 1798 to the staunch unionists of the 1880s and 1890s? We will answer these questions by examining contemporary sources to uncover the political, religious and social history of Ulster.
