Sorry, you must be a member of this group to do that.
the vastly greater Unionist area which would have resulted, were Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan included, seemed logical, but what Craig wanted was control. The extra land would have brought with it extra Catholics and would, as Carson had said, have made for assimilation into a united Ireland. Accordingly, the Unionists got not a state of nine counties, but a statelet of six. But they also took control. The Catholics under their domination would get not the protections of the law, but its sanctions, forcing them into either subjection or emigration. Control, however, would remain.
