Peetry, "in the year 1641, six hundred and fifty thousand human beings, whose blood somebody must atone for to God and the king." In the reign of Charles II., by the Act of Settlement, four millions and a half of acres were forever taken from the Irish. "This country," says the Earl of Essex, Lord Lieutenant in 1675, "has been perpetually rent and torn since His Majesty's restoration. I can compare it to nothing better than the flinging the reward on the death of a deer among the packs of hounds — where every one pulls and tears where he can for himself."

The answer of Henry Cromwell is as follows: "Concerning the supply of young men, althve-mentioned. We can well spare them; and who knows that it may be the means of making them Englishmen — I mean, rather, Christians. As for the girls, I suppose you will make provisions of clothes and other accommodations for them." Upon this, Thurloe informs Henry Cromwell that the Council have voted four thousand girls, and as many boys, to go to Jamaica." Every-Catholic priest found in Ireland was hanged, and five pounds paid to the informer. "About the year 1652, and 1653," says

The people of New England certainly resemble those of Old England in knowing how to take care of themselves, and also how to take care of people who have not that knowledge. We therefore conclude there can be no exaggeration in predicting for the South, in the event of subjugation, the same fate as that of Ireland. We need not insist that the South will be reduced to the condition of Hungary or Poland. We will defer to the ideas of those who insist that the Yankees are not Russians or Austrians. They are, however, Englishmen; and not Englishmen of the highest type. There is no extravagance in concluding that, with even stronger motives to injustice and spoliation than those which have dictated English policy towards Ireland, they would treat the conquered South with no greater moderation and humanity than the English Government has exercised towards its Irish province.
