	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 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.
