IRISH REBELLIONSlide10
IRISH REBELLION
The United Irishmen planned a rising. The British knew about this through their spies and the leaders were arrested.
The Rising went ahead in Dublin, Kildare and Meath where mail coaches were attacked. They were put down easily.
There was some success in Wexford when Fr John Murphy defeated yeomanry and militia at
Oulart
Hill, capturing
Enniscorthy
and Wexford town. 200 Protestants were burned in a
bard
and 100 killed in Wexford town. They were defeated at new Ross and
Arklow
as they tried to move out of Wexford. This was known as the battle of Vinegar Hill.Slide11
IRISH REBELLION
This defeat continued in Ulster and Connaught.
Wolfe Tone was captured when he arrived in Donegal with a French fleet. He was sentenced to death but committed suicide before this could be carried out.
The Rising of 1798 was defeated because of poor organisation, stronger government forces, spies and insufficient French help.Slide12
