Beschreibung

Little Ireland tells the story of one family from County Monaghan in Ireland, who emigrated to Edinburgh in the early nineteenth century and settled in the Old Town, in the Irish ghetto of 'Little Ireland'. It is also the story of the Irish diaspora who settled there, both before and after the 'Great Famine', whose lives revolved around the church of St. Patrick in the Cowgate and it's charismatic priest, Canon Edward Hannan, who founded Hibernian Football Club. It tells of the exiled Irish community's involvement in the politics of their homeland and their fight for Independence for Ireland through their achievement in having the Freedom of Edinburgh awarded to Charles Stewart Parnell. It also tells of the part played by 'Little Ireland' born James Connolly, one of the executed leaders of the Easter Rising in Dublin, which led, in time, to the formation of the Irish Free State. But most of all, it tells of the joys and sorrows of one family who emigrated to Edinburgh seeking a new life, of their achievements, the tragedies that befell them and how some of them were forced into onward emigration to Canada and America.

    Pontiac's War, also referred to as Pontiac's Conspiracy or Pontiac's Rebellion, was a significant conflict that emerged in the aftermath of the French and Indian War (1754–1763). In 1763, a coalition of Native American tribes, disillusioned with the increasing British presence and control in the Great Lakes region, united under the leadership of the Odawa chieftain Pontiac. These Native American forces launched an offensive aimed at driving British soldiers and settlers from the region. 
    The war began in May 1763 when Native American warriors, fearful of British General Jeffrey Amherst’s harsh policies, launched a series of attacks on British forts and settlements. These assaults led to the destruction of eight forts, the death or capture of hundreds of colonists, and the forced evacuation of many others. The intensity of the conflict shocked the British, as the attacks, though widespread, were coordinated across many tribes, reflecting a united front among the Indigenous people. Despite their efforts, the Native Americans were unable to expel the British from the region. The war finally began to subside in 1764 after British military actions prompted peace talks, which continued into 1766.
