"The Repealer Repulsed" is an account of Daniel O'Connell's visit
to Belfast in January 1840. Henry Cooke, the celebrated
Presbyterian leader, publicly challenged O'Connell to debate Repeal
during the visit. O'Connell refused to debate Cooke, partly because
of his unwillingness to elevate his rival's stature but also for
fear of violence. In contrast to O'Connell's usual triumphant
rallies, the Belfast visit produced extensive rioting and the
planned ceremonial welcomes for O'Connell in border towns were
cancelled for fear of disorder. O'Connell himself travelled in
disguise. Written and published in haste to discredit O'Connell,
this book has been described as a foundation text of Ulster
unionism. It contains one of the earliest statements of the
economic case for Ulster unionism and provides valuable insight
into the construction of political Protestantism.
