The National Museum of the American Indian esp the gallery on Treaties - later “bad paper” - tells an extraordinary story of conquest, expropriation & assimilation (aka ‘civilisation’).
Sound familiar?
Also noteworthy that Andrew Jackson’s parents were “Ulster Scots” who left Ireland in 1765.

Found the battlefield sites at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville & Bull Run to be very moving. Men from Ireland served on both sides & 1000s died or were wounded. ☘️

On 12/22 July 1691 the battle of Aughrim was fought resulting in the defeat of the Jacobite forces by the Williamites. One of the bloodiest battles on Irish soil w 7000 being killed.
Also took the opportunity to visit the well preserved castle & the impressive Dominican priory at Athenry.
