Ireland, Philadelphia and the Reinvention of America is a new study of the relationships across the Irish Atlantic at a vital period in the histories of Ireland and America. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, Maurice Bric analyses the controversial years between 1760 and 1800. Most of Ireland admired America from afar. Many also decided that it represented a better place to settle and chose to make their lives there. They were greeted in America with mixed emotions, not the least of which were concerns that after the Revolution they might destabilise the new republic. Yet the Irish accounted for the highest and most visible stream of immigrants into America and became a catalyst for how the postrevolutionary republic accommodated its new citizens. They also challenged America after 1776 as well as the ways in which the "American character" was being discussed at the time. This became even more obvious during the 1790s,the decade of the United Irishmen, when temporary exiles such as Wolfe Tone and Archibald Hamilton Rowan linked the nation's capital at Philadelphia with radicalism in Ireland. This book analyses that story and reimagines the Irish Atlantic as Ireland drifted towards the Union and America towards a steadier state.
