"Unionists: Defenders of Unity and Rights Throughout History" From the iconic "Ulster Says No" slogan to the historic Trade Union March of 1874, they have long been at the forefront of advocating for their beliefs. In a time when workers' rights were often overlooked, they stood up for fair treatment and better conditions. One example of this dedication can be seen in an advertisement from c. 1900 promoting the Trades Unionists Sheep Shear Co-operative Society steel sheep shears. This cooperative initiative, based at Brunswick Works on Eldon Street, aimed to empower workers by providing them with high-quality tools that would enhance their efficiency and productivity. The influential figure Edward Carson (1854-1935) also played a significant role in championing unionist causes. In 1913, Carson delivered his powerful speech known as "Carson Speaks, " rallying support for maintaining unity within Ulster during challenging times. During World War I, Irish Ulster and Nationalist men joined forces despite their differences to fight together against a common enemy. This display of solidarity showcased how even amidst conflict, unionists could find common ground for a greater cause. Looking back further into history reveals instances where unionism transcended borders. The engraving depicting contrabands accompanying Sherman's March through Georgia in 1864 highlights how individuals fought against oppression and sought freedom alongside Union troops during the American Civil War. The sacrifices made by soldiers are evident in haunting images such as dead soldiers on the Battlefield of Gettysburg in 1863 or Abraham Lincoln standing alongside Allan Pinkerton and Major General John A. McClernand in 1862 – all captured in black-and-white photographs that serve as reminders of the immense toll taken during wartime struggles. Furthermore, justice was pursued even after President Lincoln's assassination with The Military Commission formed to try eight civilians accused of this heinous act – showcasing society's commitment to upholding the rule of law.
