Rebellion of 1798 Ends in Wexford and Vinegar Hill
In the July- era narrative the Irish insurrection of 1798 shows early zeal but poor organization and leadership. Loftus’ advance is repelled at Carrigrun Hill. New Ross and Vinegar Hill see brutal fighting. Beauchamp Harvey’s actions end in capture and execution, while Vinegar Hill becomes a slaughter ground. The south’s war wanes as Cornwallis and Hunter implement amnesty and pacification.
