TOMMY DOWNSHIRE'S BOYS: POPULAR PROTEST, SOCIAL CHANGE AND POLITICAL MANIPULATION IN MID-ULSTER 1829-1847.
- Authors
Blackstock, Allan
- Abstract
The article focuses on the protests of Tommy Downshire's boys and on social changes and political handling in Mid-Ulster between 1829 to 1847. It examines the use of structures of loyalism as an instrument in the Tommy Downshire protests alongside the ruling of cross-sectarian protest traditions and the manipulation of political, economic and social structures. It also explores the authorities' responses in an attempt to understand what the protests reveal about broader law and order developments.
