Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Despite the Protestant Reformation, Ireland remained Catholic and the Irish resisted Protestant influence.
- In 1609 James I established the Ulster plantations where English and Scottish Protestants moved.
- Many Irish Catholics were forced to move and the plantations created resentment of Protestants.
- Highlanders were Jacobites and spoke Gaelic, which British monarchs wanted to stamp out.
- Many in the Scottish Highlands were forced to move away from their lands due to changes in land use.
Common misconception
Plantations are large cash-crop farms found in the Americas.
Cash-crop plantations can be found all over the world, but the first plantations were established in Ireland. Protestants loyal to the monarch were 'planted' in Irish Catholic lands to help establish control of the area.
