Under the Starry Flag : How a Ban of Irish Americans Joined the Fenian Revolt and Sparked a Crisis over Citizenship
Bok av Salyer Lucy E Salyer
In 1867 forty Irish-Americans sailed for Ireland to fight against British rule. Claiming that emigrants to America remained British citizens, authorities arrested the men for treason, sparking a crisis and trial that dragged the U.S. and Britain to the brink of war. Lucy Salyer recounts this gripping tale, a prelude to today's immigration battles.
