Opis

John Mitchel (1815-75) took a degree in law at Trinity College, Dublin, and worked in a solicitor's office in Co. Down where he came into conflict with the Orange Order. He sympathised with the Young Irelanders and moved to Dublin in 1845 to become a chief contributor to the Nation. Always a radical, he grew more extreme in his views after the onset of the Famine and under the influence of Fintan Lalor, breaking with his moderate colleagues in 1847 to found The United Irishman. His articles for this were so outspoken that he was tried on charges of sedition in 1848 and transported to Australia. In 1853 he escaped to the USA, where he became a farmer in Tennessee, supported the Confederacy in the Civil War, and denounced the Fenians. He returned to Ireland in 1874 and was elected MP for North Tipperary, but unseated as an undischarged felon. He died during a second election in which he was again successful. Jail Journal, an account of his trial and transportation, first appeared in the New York newspaper, The Citizen, and exerted a powerful influence on later nationalists.
