By 1700, Presbyterians formed the largest Protestant community in the north of Ireland. This book shows how the Presbyterians formed a highly organised, self-confident community and looks at its various social components. It discusses how Presbyterians were part of the economically dynamic element of Irish society; how they took the lead in the emigration movement to the American colonies; how they maintained links with Scotland and related to other communities; and how, later in the eighteenth century, they formed the backbone of the Republican, separatist movement.
