The Irish nation was judged barbarous by the English colonizer, mainly because of the hybrid Catholicism, the primitive customs and traditions and the inexistence of property warrants of its inhabitants.

Some Irish decided to follow their own interest and participate in building the English empire while a lot more, mostly commoners, were driven to be agents of the empire, but against their will. |
