Example text
Only slowly over the eighteenth and early years of the nineteenth centuries would Irish Catholic peasants be sucked into those broader markets. Integration into such markets had a whole host of consequences: it meant greater vulnerability to economic forces like the collapse of the linen markets, provided more exposure to information about England or North America, and offered greater access to transportation to the New World, thus probably encouraging more confident expectations of finding a better life in America among linen-trade participants.
Akenson denies any but “small differences” in culture between Protestant and Catholics in Ireland; Doyle points to the deep communalism of Ulster Presbyterians, and thus, doubts Miller’s characterization of them as the archetypes of modern individualism. Whether or not the principal reason why Irish Protestants left and Catholics did not was rooted in deep cultural differences, it is useful to point to other important if perhaps obvious reasons for the divergences between Catholics and Protestants in their willingness to set off for America.
