But unlike many other countries, not every Irish citizen has a vote. Only those living in the ‘State' - the Republic of Ireland, can vote. Now a bill is before the Dáil, which if passed would allow northerners to vote in the presidential election, subject to a referendum, How likely is this change? How would it affect the vote? And what would Unionists make of it? Ciarán Dunbar is joined by David McCann and Sam McBride. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

CLICK HERE! To send us a message! Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think!The rise and fall of Abraham Lincoln represents one of America's most profound historical narratives – a story of a man who emerged from virtual political obscurity to lead a nation through its darkest hour. When the Political Encyclopedia of 1860 was published, Lincoln wasn't deemed significant enough to warrant even a single mention. Yet within months, this relatively unknown figure would ascend to the presidency during the most divisive period in American history. His election triggered the secession of Southern states and ignited a conflict that would redefine the nation.What's rarely discussed is Lincoln's extraordinary unpopularity during his presidency. In the South, he was reviled as an existential threat, while many Northerners criticized his wartime tactics, including the suspension of habeas corpus and imprisonment of newspaper editors sympathetic to the Confederate cause. The history we learn about Lincoln has been sanitized over time, smoothing over the complex and often controversial figure he truly was.The path to Lincoln's assassination began long before John Wilkes Booth entered Ford's Theatre. Early plots against Lincoln's life were thwarted thanks to Kate Warrens, the first female detective in the Pinkerton agency. Once war broke out, Lincoln demonstrated remarkable political cunning, using the Emancipation Proclamation as a strategic war measure that only freed slaves in Confederate states – areas where he had no actual authority – while maintaining slavery in Union-controlled territories.Lincoln's cabinet strategy of appointing his fiercest political rivals – men who actively sought his job – demonstrates a leadership philosophy almost unimaginable in modern politics. This "team of rivals" approach helped guide the nation through its bloodiest conflict, culminating in a Union victory that Lincoln would enjoy for only days before his assassination forever altered the course of Reconstruction and American history.

8/8: Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War by  Robert Cwiklik  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Sheridans-Secret-Mission-South-After/dp/0062950649/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In late 1874, nearly ten years after the Civil War, former slaves, or freedmen, found themselves under siege in the South by violent paramilitary groups like the White League, intent on erasing their newly won voting rights and other postwar gains and consigning them to a condition little better than slavery. President Ulysses S. Grant, vowing to enforce, “with rigor,” laws protecting the rights of former slaves, asked General Philip H. Sheridan to visit New Orleans and other Southern trouble spots to investigate the freedmen's plight, all while pretending to be on vacation. Sheridan's Secret Mission recounts the feisty Union war hero's Southern sojourn amid tragic episodes of racial terror that ultimately fueled the overthrow of Reconstruction-era protections for black rights. Sheridan made a splash on his arrival in New Orleans on New Year's Eve, accompanied by family and friends and proclaiming they were sightseers bound for Cuba. But a few days later, through trickery and force, Democrats seized control of the nearby state House of Representatives, apparently assisted by White League operatives, although the state's majority black electorate had arguably put Republicans, the party of Lincoln and the freeing of the slaves, in control of the legislature. Federal soldiers stationed nearby ushered several Democrats out of the House chamber, and Sheridan publicly denounced the “spirit of defiance to all lawful authority” in Louisiana. He threatened to round up White League leaders to face trial before military tribunals. In years past, Northerners might have rallied to support the Union hero. But the public was weary of war issues. Many Northern newspapers condemned Sheridan's actions and deplored the appearance of federal bayonets in a sovereign state legislature. Some called for Grant's impeachment. The controversial clash in the Louisiana legislature lies at the heart of this revelatory new narrative history. Sheridan's Secret Mission illuminates the bitter career of racial oppression in the United States and resonates powerfully with our contemporary “post-racial” condition. 1896 Sheridan

7/8: Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War by  Robert Cwiklik  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Sheridans-Secret-Mission-South-After/dp/0062950649/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In late 1874, nearly ten years after the Civil War, former slaves, or freedmen, found themselves under siege in the South by violent paramilitary groups like the White League, intent on erasing their newly won voting rights and other postwar gains and consigning them to a condition little better than slavery. President Ulysses S. Grant, vowing to enforce, “with rigor,” laws protecting the rights of former slaves, asked General Philip H. Sheridan to visit New Orleans and other Southern trouble spots to investigate the freedmen's plight, all while pretending to be on vacation. Sheridan's Secret Mission recounts the feisty Union war hero's Southern sojourn amid tragic episodes of racial terror that ultimately fueled the overthrow of Reconstruction-era protections for black rights. Sheridan made a splash on his arrival in New Orleans on New Year's Eve, accompanied by family and friends and proclaiming they were sightseers bound for Cuba. But a few days later, through trickery and force, Democrats seized control of the nearby state House of Representatives, apparently assisted by White League operatives, although the state's majority black electorate had arguably put Republicans, the party of Lincoln and the freeing of the slaves, in control of the legislature. Federal soldiers stationed nearby ushered several Democrats out of the House chamber, and Sheridan publicly denounced the “spirit of defiance to all lawful authority” in Louisiana. He threatened to round up White League leaders to face trial before military tribunals. In years past, Northerners might have rallied to support the Union hero. But the public was weary of war issues. Many Northern newspapers condemned Sheridan's actions and deplored the appearance of federal bayonets in a sovereign state legislature. Some called for Grant's impeachment. The controversial clash in the Louisiana legislature lies at the heart of this revelatory new narrative history.

Long before Manchester gave the world titans of industry, comedy, music and sport, it was the cosmopolitan Roman fort of Mamucium. But it was as the ‘shock city' of the Industrial Revolution that Manchester really made its mark on the world stage. A place built on hard work and innovation, it is no coincidence that the digital age began here too, with the world's first stored-program computer, Baby. A city as radical as it is revolutionary, Manchester has always been a political hotbed. The Peterloo Massacre is immortalised in British folklore and the city was a centre for pioneering movements such as Chartism. Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst hailed from here and the city still treasures its wilful independence. Manchester's spirited individuality has carried through into its artistic output too, bringing the world Anthony Burgess, L.S. Lowry, Jeanette Winterson, Joy Division and Oasis. Mention United or City almost anywhere and you'll find fans, and opinions. Until Made in Manchester: A People's History of the City That Shaped the Modern World (Harpernorth, 2024), this magnificent city did not have its definitive history. From Brian Groom, the author of the bestselling Northerners, this work of unrivalled authority and breadth tells the story of a changing place and its remarkable people. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

3/8: Sheridan's Secret Mission: How the South Won the War After the Civil War by  Robert Cwiklik  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Sheridans-Secret-Mission-South-After/dp/0062950649/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In late 1874, nearly ten years after the Civil War, former slaves, or freedmen, found themselves under siege in the South by violent paramilitary groups like the White League, intent on erasing their newly won voting rights and other postwar gains and consigning them to a condition little better than slavery. President Ulysses S. Grant, vowing to enforce, “with rigor,” laws protecting the rights of former slaves, asked General Philip H. Sheridan to visit New Orleans and other Southern trouble spots to investigate the freedmen's plight, all while pretending to be on vacation. Sheridan's Secret Mission recounts the feisty Union war hero's Southern sojourn amid tragic episodes of racial terror that ultimately fueled the overthrow of Reconstruction-era protections for black rights. Sheridan made a splash on his arrival in New Orleans on New Year's Eve, accompanied by family and friends and proclaiming they were sightseers bound for Cuba. But a few days later, through trickery and force, Democrats seized control of the nearby state House of Representatives, apparently assisted by White League operatives, although the state's majority black electorate had arguably put Republicans, the party of Lincoln and the freeing of the slaves, in control of the legislature. Federal soldiers stationed nearby ushered several Democrats out of the House chamber, and Sheridan publicly denounced the “spirit of defiance to all lawful authority” in Louisiana. He threatened to round up White League leaders to face trial before military tribunals. In years past, Northerners might have rallied to support the Union hero. But the public was weary of war issues. Many Northern newspapers condemned Sheridan's actions and deplored the appearance of federal bayonets in a sovereign state legislature. Some called for Grant's impeachment. The controversial clash in the Louisiana legislature lies at the heart of this revelatory new narrative history. Sheridan's Secret Mission illuminates the bitter career of racial oppression in the United States and resonates powerfully with our contemporary “post-racial” condition. 1972 NEW ORLEANS

With winter still holding on fast, a hearty, warming soup is always a go-to meal in my household. Pho, a classic Vietnamese soup served with a broad accompaniment of proteins, fresh herbs, and lime, is the perfect way to balance the warmth of the soon-to-be winter's end and the incoming spring. Here, we'll dive into the simple yet profound pleasure of preparing pho with thin-sliced venison sirloin, a wild game twist that fits nicely with this traditional comfort food. The protein choices used here can vary – I encourage all to try this recipe and use whatever wild game you've got available (avoid eating rare wild pig or bear). The robust and complex flavors of the broth of the pho complement a wide swath of proteins, and this dish will come together relatively quickly, which is bound to become a favorite weekday staple. Read the written version of this recipe as prepared by Brandon Dale Leave a Review of the Podcast  Buy our Small Batch Wild Food Spice Blends  About Pho Pho is a beloved and ubiquitous Vietnamese soup consisting of a colossal bowl full of heady, deeply flavored broth made from marrow bones and charred aromatics, full of bouncy and slithery rice noodles, a combination of meats contributing contrasting textures, temperatures, flavors, and bite sizes, evocative herbs and spices, all served with a side plate of fresh garnishes, providing a choose-your-own-adventure of crunch, herbaceousness, heat, sweetness, pungency, acid, and bite.  In truth, no one really knows how Pho came to be. There are plenty of hypotheses, though. Most culinary historians and pho enthusiasts agree that a rudimentary version of the soup first appeared in the Hanoi region sometime in the 1880's.  This soup consisted of a few slices of tough water buffalo in broth with vermicelli rice noodles. Water buffalo and cows were working beasts then and would have been eaten only if they could no longer work, meaning they were probably old and tough… perfect for a long-simmered soup.  By the early to mid-1900s, the soup had evolved from a watery meat broth to a subtly complex soup with a clear and simple bone broth, lightly spiced, and for those wealthy enough, a pile of thinly sliced rare beef poached in the soup while it was served.  In 1954, under the Geneva Accords, Vietnam was split into two countries: the communist north and the democratic south.  During this time, many northerners fled south to escape communism and settled into new areas, bringing pho and their foodways. The soup quickly caught on in the South, becoming popular with street vendors everywhere. Without the North's staunch conservative inflexibility, the soup was quickly altered to suit Southern tastes and liberal ways, with all sorts of unconventional ingredients being added to the horror of some of the purist Northerners.  The Americans became involved in the conflict between North and South, and in 1963, the Vietnam War began. By 1975, America had pulled out of the war, and Saigon had fallen to the north, creating a mass exodus of over 2 million southern Vietnamese people who mainly eventually found asylum in the US, Canada, Australia, and France.  Of course, these refugees, many of whom were stuck on rickety boats for a miserable amount of time, brought their beloved pho recipes with them and quickly found ingredients to make it in their new homes.  About Adam Berkelmans: Adam Berkelmans, also known as The Intrepid Eater, is a passionate ambassador for real food and a proponent of nose-to-tail eating.

Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan, Wide Awakes The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to another compelling episode of the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series on radio and podcast. Today, we delve into a riveting chapter of American history with Smithsonian historian Jon Grinspan, as we explore the story of the Wide Awakes—an extraordinary political movement that shaped the trajectory of our nation in the tumultuous years leading up to the Civil War.  Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan, a returning guest, and Curator of Political History, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution will be appearting at Smithslonian Associates coming up.  Please check out our show notes today for more information about Jon Grinspan's upcoming Smithsonian Assocaites presentation, titled, “The Wide Awakes: The Forgotten Force the Spurred the Civil War.” and available at Apple Books.  But we have Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan today, to tell us more about his new book, ‘Wide Awake,” and his presentation at Smithsonian Associates. At the dawn of the 1860 presidential campaign, a small group of fervent young Northerners emerged to protect anti-slavery speakers from violent attacks. These individuals, calling themselves the Wide Awakes, quickly grew into a massive movement, attracting hundreds of thousands of young men and women from diverse backgrounds. They marched through cities with torch-lit processions, their uniforms and disciplined formations creating a striking visual spectacle that captured the nation's attention. But the impact of the Wide Awakes extended far beyond their impressive marches. They became a powerful symbol of the fight for majority rule, the defense of free speech, and the relentless push against the institution of slavery. Their efforts played a critical role in the election of Abraham Lincoln and set the stage for the seismic shifts that would soon engulf the nation in civil war. In today's episode, Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan takes us on a journey through his latest book, "Wide Awake," providing a nuanced examination of this influential movement. We will uncover how the Wide Awakes' visual strategies, organizational prowess, and unwavering commitment to their cause galvanized public opinion and reshaped the political landscape. We'll also explore the dual perceptions of the Wide Awakes as both a beacon of hope for a rising majority and a potential paramilitary threat to the South. Join us as we delve into the rich history of the Wide Awakes, drawing parallels to contemporary political movements and understanding the enduring legacy of their activism. This is an episode you won't want to miss—one that sheds light on the power of protest, the complexities of democracy, and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to stand up for justice. Thank you for tuning in to the Not Old Better Show. Let's dive into this fascinating discussion with Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan.
