Treaty: Ulster Unionists Flashcards
Why would the conts be satisfied?
> “4th HR Bill” in 1920 meant UUs were satisfied to have HR In the north.
Ironic considering they literally threatened Treason for 2 years to stop HR in Ireland?
This excluded Nationalist government authority
Excluded Conservatives control; time of growing distance between the 2
Why was the 4th HR Bill so dandy?
Craiger had “considerable influence” over it according to Mansergh
Craig forced DLG to accept 6 counties
Craig convinced the UUC to accept it
Why would they not be satisfied?
> boundary commission
literally abandoned their SU mates, and even 3 counties of Ulster Unionists! Craig thought that this would allow Nationalists to take over in the future and unite Ireland
Jackson on the 4th HR Bill
Blatant act of self-preservation; the UUs in these counties were deeply dissatisfied with the Partition of Ulster pamplhet showing this
Why triggered by the Boundary Boys
Cus DLG had promised the SUs a Boundary Commission, implying that substantial changes would be made but in 1925 when the repr0t was released there was like 0 changes
