Prominent Orange Leader Supports Irish Republic Idea
The Toronto Statesman editor Crawford, a longtime Ulster native and Orange leader turned Independent Orangemen organizer, advocates Irish self determination in America. He argues Ulster delegates miscast unity with Britain, contends Ireland is a separate entity, and cites Grattan’s 1776 framework and the 1800 Act of Union to support Ireland’s sovereignty against Carsonite aims.
