What did ‘Patriotism’ mean in Eighteenth-Century Ireland

چکیده
„Patriotism‟ and the term „Patriot‟ refer to a new awareness of Irishness that emerged toward the end of the seventeenth century and throughout the eighteenth century. The birth of Patriotism was as a result of several contributory factors following the Jacobite wars at the end of the seventeenth century. Ireland‟s constitutional status as a separate kingdom had been supported by opponents of Thomas Wentworth (1640-1) and reaffirmed at the convention of 1660-61 that rejected claims of English legislative supremacy. Professor Connolly notes that such proclamations of independence “foreshadowed eighteenth century patriotism”.
