Exiles of ’98

Exiles of 98 Cover

Exiles of ’98 – Ulster Presbyterians and the United States tells the fascinating story of Ulster Presbyterians who departed for America around the time of the 1798 Rebellion.

Whether high in the councils of the United Irishmen, an ordinary oath-swearing member of the ranks, or an unaffiliated critic of existing political and social circumstances, an ultimately untold number of Ulster’s Presbyterians became associated with revolutionary currents in the final years of the eighteenth century.

Many so involved – or so accused – took exile in the new United States.
