 Irish Rebellion of 1798 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Irish Rebellion of 1798 (Éirí Amach 1798 in Irish), or 1798 rebellion as it is known locally, was an uprising in 1798, lasting several months, against the British dominated Kingdom of Ireland.
The opposition of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland to the expected rebellion had been secured by the establishment of Maynooth College in the same year and it was, barring a few individual exceptions, firmly on the side of the Crown throughout the entire period of the rebellion.
The Act of Union on January 1st 1801 took away the measure of autonomy granted to Ireland's Protestant Ascendancy and passed largely in response to the rebellion and underpinned by the perception that the rebellion was provoked as much by the brutish misrule of the Ascendancy as by the efforts of the revolutionaries.

 The Social Affairs Unit - Web Review: Rebellion in Britain: 1715: The Great Jacobite Rebellion - Daniel Szechi
A key moment was the '15 and Szechi rescues this from relative neglect, showing that the rebellion posed a serious challenge to the newly-established Hanoverian regime and was also a major episode in the transformation of Scotland.
As he correctly argues, the northern English rising, the only part of the rebellion in England and Wales that actually materialised, was weak, and poorly-led and overly dependent on a degree of Catholic support, which weakened its appeal.
If Scotland became the unintended cockpit of the rebellion, this was a serious military problem for the government, in part because of the difficulty of the terrain and the distance from the centre of governmental power in southern England.

 Read Ireland - Top Tens - 1798 Rebellion/Wolfe Tone
The rebellion of 1798 was the most violent and tragic event in Irish history between the Jacobite wars and the Great Famine of the 1840s.
He shows that the rebellion was the result of Pitt's failure to have any policy for Ireland; the misplaced optimism of Wolfe Tone and the 'United Irishmen'; and the tragic illustions of the Irish peasantry, who were quite unprepared for war.
The result of the rebellion was no less disastrous: Britain imposed a Union on terms that proved unacceptable to the majority of the Irish people, and there was a legacy of violence and hatred that has persisted to the present day.

 The Rebellion of 1641 in Ireland
This great rebellion was brought about by the measures taken to extirpate the Catholic religion; by the plantations of Chichester and Strafford; and by the non-confirmation of the graces, which made the people despair of redress.
The leading spirit was Roger or Rory O'Moore of Leix, a man of unblemished character; and among the others were Sir Phelim O'Neill of the family of Tyrone and his brother Turlogh, lord Maguire of Fermanagh and his brother Rory, Magennis, O'Reilly, and some of the MacMahons.
Multitudes were stripped and turned out half naked from house and home--old and young, men, women, and children; and hundreds, vainly trying to make their way to Dublin or others of the Government stations, perished by the wayside, of exposure, hardship, and hunger.
