Summary
Description 'Ulster Covenant' mural, Thorndyke Street, Belfast - geograph.org.uk - 877908.jpg |
English:
'Ulster Covenant' mural, Thorndyke Street, Belfast. Mural reproducing the Ulster Covenant in Thorndyke Street, Belfast.
The Ulster Covenant was signed by just under half a million of men and women from Ulster, Ireland, on and before September 28, 1912, in protest of a Home Rule bill introduced by the British Government in that same year. Sir Edward Carson (see
693322
and
871614
) was the first person to sign the Covenant at the Belfast City Hall. The signers were all unionists, who were against the establishment of an Irish parliament in Dublin. Some even signed in their own blood to show their dedication to the cause. The Ulster Covenant is immortalised in Rudyard Kipling's poem "Ulster 1912". See
