| Summary |
"Is Ulster Right?" by Anonymous is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The text engages in an analysis of the political, historical, and financial arguments surrounding the question of Home Rule for Ireland, focusing particularly on the position of Ulster Unionists and their opposition to it. The book serves as a defense of Ulster's stance against the Nationalist Party, discussing the historical context and rationale behind the Unionist position and their claim to equal citizenship in the United Kingdom. The opening of the book introduces the central issue of the Ulster Covenant, wherein a significant number of Ulstermen pledge to resist Home Rule, viewing it as a threat to their civil and religious freedoms. The text underscores the complexities of Irish politics, intertwined with historical grievances, religious identities, and class struggles. It critiques both the Nationalist perspective and the historical narratives surrounding Irish nation's past, arguing against the romanticized notions of a unified Celtic Ireland while asserting that the dynamics of governance and self-rule are more nuanced than they may appear.
