  1. Historical Tradition

    Share Share Post
    People were persecuted by cruel laws in the eighteenth century. They could not own a horse worth more than five pounds or they could not get their children taught where they liked. These laws were known as the Penal Laws.
    Often people were forced to pay rents and if they did not their lands were taken from them.
    In the famine days people had very little food and Indian meal was given to them. They went to a certain place and got their supply.
