Abstract
By focusing on the Orange Order and concomitant aspects of violent anti-Catholicism shaped by two Irish hostile populations, Catholics and Protestants, as well as by Britons, this chapter is essentially tracing the main patterns of a noisy, durable but marginal, militant, and anti-Catholic form of loyalty in nineteenth-century Britain. It draws upon rich primary sources and surveys an extensive literature to suggest that working-class conflicts around issues of loyalty were significantly shaped by Irish immigration.
