Andrew Holmes will present a talk on Irish Presbyterians and America after 1783 on 23 October 2026 at 13:00. The event focuses on religion, slavery and identity. It is held for free at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland in Belfast.
Join us at PRONI to hear Andrew Holmes explore the stories of Irish Presbyterians in America.
Most accounts of Irish Presbyterians and America end in 1776. This, however, obscures the significant religious and cultural links across the Atlantic that were reinforced in the following century, and which continue to shape transatlantic connections.
This talk considers the persistence of Presbyterian emigration and religious connections. It explores the tensions that developed owing to the demand of Irish Presbyterians for the immediate abolition of slavery in the United States.
It shows how relations were reset after the Civil War thanks to a shared culture of religious revivalism and the development of a Scotch-Irish identity.
