Episode 3: The Backstop

Year ‘21

Available for over a year

The fear of Home Rule led to a split in unionism; Irish Unionists who insisted the whole of the island must stay in the United Kingdom and Ulster Unionists who supported a backstop to protect the north-east. We visit a building considered a spiritual home of Ulster Unionists and delve into the mindset of Unionism then and now.
