Sinn Féin s anti-partition USA foray has positives – but it dodges the main issue

Irish-America’s engagement in the politics of the “auld sod” dates at least from the aftermath of the 1798 United Irishmen’s uprising, when many of those rebels wound up in enforced exile in the fledgling USA. Supportive transatlantic links were variously renewed through the successive Irish constitutional and physical force agitations, enhanced by the mass exodus around the Great Famine 1845-49, and on through the 20th century, leading to the foundation of the Irish State and the travesty of partition. At the height of the Black and Tan War, Eamon de Valera famously spent 18 months in the US – from June 1919 until December 1920 – fundraising, lobbying, organising, and inevitably quarrelling bitterly with existing Irish-American structures, helping to create yet another split.
