This book aims to provide a comprehensive narrative of the Ulster Movement, articulating the motivations and actions taken by Ulster's Protestants as they opposed the shift in governance from Westminster to a parliament in Dublin, driven by a complex interplay of historical, social, economic, and religious factors. The opening of the book sets the stage by outlining the historical context and the significance of the Ulster Unionists' resistance. The author emphasizes that the conflict is deeply rooted in Ireland's past and intricately linked to the identity and loyalties of the Northern Protestants, who view themselves as a bulwark against what they perceive as the disloyalty of Nationalists in the South. McNeill shares personal insights drawn from his own experience within the movement, recounting how the sentiments and organization of Ulster Unionism blossomed in response to the perceived threats from the policy changes introduced by British political leadership, particularly under figures like Gladstone. The narrative highlights the necessity for Ulster’s Protestants to seek a proactive stance in safeguarding their political identity and constitutional rights.
