“Daniel O’Connell was not a ‘liberator’ of the people…
Credit is due to O’Connell for…his opposition to slavery…when it came to the…enslavement of his own country…O’Connell was highly skilful at using them but…abandoned them”

Yet when a movement in Ireland called for boycotting slave-produced sugar in the 1830s-40s, #DanielOConnell was opposed as it would interfere with free trade.
And while his work may have helped lead to Irish independence, O’Connell himself remained a monarchist & supporter of the Empire

Sketch portrait of General Daniel Charles O'Connell of the French Army. Daniel is dressed in his military uniform.
I also have a soft spot for the wider family, especially Daniel's uncle, Daniel Charles O'Connell, who was part of the Irish Brigade in the French army and masterminded the Irish Brigade in the British Army. 2/2 #danieloconnell #derrynane #irishhistory #skystorians

Happy 250th birthday Danieli O Connello. Spotted this in Genoa last month, today I'm close to his birthplace in South West Kerry. Any other suggestions for a #DanielOConnell tour?
#DanielOConnell was contradictory, & is often criticised for being “too parliamentary” & too deferential to the Empire.
He was also perhaps the most prominent anti- #slavery voice of his day in Europe:
"As human, as accountable beings, why should we suffer this any longer?"
