at the boyne both armies were mixed william had 5000 catholic troops in his army and the jacobite army had many protestants in their ranks so it was more of a political battle rather than a religious one
Far from it. The glorious revolution really was a religious battle. Yes there were mixed troops but a vast majority of Williams troops where protestant. A bit of background needed so I shall provide it. The williamite war was just one front of a much larger war (the nine year's war) against Louis the 14th. The grand alliance was formed AFTER william had already invaded England (at parliaments behest) and upon landing in brixham harbour he uttered the words "the liberties of england and the protestant religion I will maintain" and he did just that as he gave consent to the protestant parliament to draw up the english bill of rights the toleration act 1689 and the mutiny act. William and England only joined the grand alliance in December 1689. william had already begun the liberation of ireland he sent the navy to break the siege of derry in July 1689. So yes the glorious revolution was a religious war It was already commencing before the Pope got involved but the only reason he did so is because he feared fighting on two fronts he was doing the old "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing and he spectacularly backfired.
@@colhughes3892 yes you are correct to an extent but it transpired that it did not prevent devision among the plantation community in Ireland my heritage is mostly scots presbyterian and like the Catholics their marriages were not legally accepted by the Anglican rulling class hence it contributed to the scots Irish migration to the Carolinas and the southern states of the USA so the war did not end discrimination even within the protestant population
Rath was a good friend of the orange terrorist Harry James (They were in the same lodge in Liverpool) Rath lived in Pecksniff st the next street to James of 29 Morton Street wonder if the Raths knew. Orange Order welcomed Mr James back on his release of 20 years bang up does the orange hall DISPLAY THAT
Loving this video Ian thank you for sharing it. Our dad who passed away in 1998 is on it as well as myself and my sister when we were kids walking in the lodge with The Rose of Skem Accordion band ( which has since disbursed.) Great childhood memory’s and great to see a video of my dad doing what he loved best! Thank you
They have never achieved their objective which was to marginalise and discriminate Roman Catholics of Liverpool and North East Ireland Fairness Equality and Justice will always prevail SUPPORT TO UKRAINE
Researching William of Orange and his involvement/investment in the Royal African Slave trade and Edward Colson who bought Williams shares Bristol City Council has removed all references and statues of the pair (there was one statue of Colston) which the people of Bristol dumped in the dock can anyone help
My oul 70 year old granny was put out of her home back then but Loyalists are overlooked when it comes to this. Peotestant families burned out and intimidated out and a blind eye turned to it. Well done for letting people know and thank you to the loyal people of Liverpool.
Mr Arthur Rath was good friends with Mr Harry James of 29 Morton street next street to where Mr Rath lived Harry James was a senior member of the orange order in Liverpool he went down for 10 years for loyalist terrorism and welcomed back into the orange order on his release! I notice you have taken your posts down Mr James since i asked were you among those who dmonstrate at republican marches in Liverpool demanding these terrorist be band from Liverpool streets

At a time when the L.O.L used to be huge in this city, compare that to today and you can see a difference. A small orange ordeer, but in contrast a huge Irish community who proudly march every March 17.
Huge irish community my back side lol most of the Irish in liverpool are Irish students. And that rag tag republican band you follow aren't from liverpool either they're from Dublin lol
Great upload. I was actually there, 12th was a Sunday that year, so they had it on the Saturday (11th) instead. There with my dad, but my granddad also marched (not played just marched) and I see him in this, so thanks so much for uploading it :)
