Interestingly enough, if you look at illustrations from the American Civil War era, Irishmen were portrayed as chimpanzee looking drunkards. I think it was because America was a mostly protestant nation and they wanted to show the Irish immigrant as an uneducated, intoxicated ape.

one thing that got me extremely fired up was when the British decided to use so-called "irish tactics", the force they use to kill many of our countrymen, on the indians...my history teacher, a scot who spent a year in college there, and i almost had a confrontation about elizabeth 1, may she burn in hell, and cromwell, he already is burning as he is satan :mrgreen:

, were right in suppressing the irish like they did... :twisted:
