this is an irish catholic -- i am assuming they're irish. i am certainly they're almost all entirely irish from a boston unit celebrating mass on the battlefield. the picture is not identified. i don't know which unit it is. i don't know who the priest is. there is a couple of women in the picture, so my hunch is this is at camp before the battle started. there weren't a lot of photographers running around on civil war battlefields at the time. we talked about how hard it was to take pictures in the middle of the 19th century so this is clearly a posed photograph and it is also another signal, you know, that we are here participating in the war effort and we are still irish and still catholic. of course what charge are they responding to here? what's the worry that catholics have in the united states? go ahead. >> only listen to the pope. >> that they'll only listen to the pope, that they're loyal to the pope before and instead of being loyal to the united states, and you can't be a good citizen, particularly if you're overly obedient to the

there is this history and perception the irish are violent thugs creating chaos in the various riots and disloyal, so these orderly processions are designed to counter that image and to suggest something else. so there is a blend of these irish symbols, appropriating space in the middle of new york city. i think this is right near central park although i am not certain of that. this way there is a mixing of american symbols and irish symbols and throughout and notice the women dressed here like the feminine image of the republic or mary ann in the french case and the feminine image of a republic of virtue, one of the ways in which the american nation was symbolized in cartoons of the middle of the 19th century, so again blending republican american images with irish images and the fact that the campaign for a free irish republic meshes with the idea that the united states is a republic so it is very easy for irish people at least to imagine themselves as being good, loyal irish men and women and being good americans, the two identities are merging, coming together. >> would the ameri

irish moving up the ladder a little bit socially and civically and i think there is some of that and certainly people who argue a little later on that the irish progressed enough they can be considered legitimate american citizens. it is the other newcomers that arrived more recently that we have worry about, the new italians and eastern european jews and so forth and there is a little bit of that and this is an irish authored image that's being created here. irish sort of answering that charge that they're not good citizens, and so they do make the claim supporting a republic in ireland is consistent with being a good republican citizen in the united states. other questions? does this make sense? we talked about on tuesday this idea of invented traditions and that's what's going on here. this is the st. patrick's day parade is a relatively new phenomenon in new york. you had parades by basically catholic churches on st. patrick's day going back to the late 18th century and tended to be a number of small parades by different churches in different parts of town. the first sort of all

this is very similar to what you saw with the irish in the 19th century. this effort to be a citizen and a member of the ethnic community at the same time, without any apparent contradiction in all of this. so you have this whole group, these ar

today i'm talking to richard boyd barrett he's a member of the irish parliament and a leading light in the new campaign on the referendum on the fiscal pact which thanks for talking to us tell us what the fiscal pact is the pact is a european agreement which countries are being asked to sign up to which will compel goldman's to reduce debt and deficit figures by a certain amount per year over a long period of time and what we're concerned about is that in effect big because of all of the gambling debts of banks and speculators have been put onto the books of the state that this would mean permanent austerity billions worth of colt's every year for at least a decade or more in order to meet the treaty targets and that we believe will do untold damage to the economy which is already very traumatized and impose even more so for working people on the less well off and vulnerable our society who have already been devastated by four years of austerity and talk to me more about that what's to say see economic backdrop against which this referendum is being how well and now we have four hundre

member governments have already signed it but if they vote no the irish will be joining a growing anti austerity backlash france's new president francois hollande has talked about trying to renegotiate the pact and germany's angela merkel despite having written the treaty can't get her own parliament to ratify it most of ireland's main political party supports it but not richard boyd barrett of the united left alliance because of all of the gambling debts of banks and speculators of important to the books of the state that this would mean permanent austerity billions worth of courts every year for at least a decade or more in order to meet the treaty targets and we believe will do on told damage to the economy which is already very traumatized for ireland it seems more damaging austerity is up ahead no matter which way it turns here in dublin literally every available post in the city is bristling with referendum posters the no posters call the fiscal pact the bankers tracy the austerity packed meanwhile the yes campaign maintains it's all about stability either way the future looks bl

then the force, the principal nationality was irish. irish cops arrested hours. one of the biggest difference is is that the police officers slept together. on reserve duty every night. they slept in the precinct house. it became almost like an army platoon. do the math. but reserve and regular duty ever putting in 110 hours per week. it was a bad life permissible reporter. they pulled pranks on each other. they have like an irish fraternity basically. one guy said he did not sit on the toilet and read a newspaper analyst bolted up because someone would set it on fire. they would haze rickey's. they had each other's back, and it was very much 1890's. so the next image of sir you, we are getting closer. roosevelt despise this man. he was -- he was not on the police force for dereliction because he closed more than 50 brothels in this exact area where we're standing. even once said this meant it represents everything that i work against. this is captain of william. born in new york to an irish family. bartender. recently a boxer. he was funny. he once grabbed a rep

at an irish fraternity. one guy said he couldn't sit on a toilet and read the newspaper unless he -- somebody would set it on fire. they hazed rookies by stripping them naked and painting them green, but they had each other's back and it was very much the blue wall of silence in the 89s. a very corrupt police officer -- we are getting closer to roosevelt. he was not on a police force because he had not closed more than 15 brothels where we are standing. this and was fighting -- roosevelt said this man represented everything i word against. this is captain william beverly who was born in new york into an irish family on east 24, bartender and boxer. he once grabbed a young reporter by the shoulders and said have you seen anything running around that i might have missed? he called across genders degenerate. he spoke in new york and ordered his patrolman not to be in the bar in uniform, go to a bar with the buttons on don't look nice. so when he took over the lower east side he and his back man -- got to love t
