AMERICAS Northern Ireland Roots - America And Britain's Future
Most Americans are still a little afraid to visit Northern Ireland because of the violence they watched on their newscasts over 30 years. When, in fact, in the worst of times all statistics compared favorably to crime in any American city of 1.5 million people, the population of Northern Ireland.
Why not plan a visit to Northern Ireland on your next Irish vacation.
Flying into Belfast International Airport some distance outside the city will give you the most original view of Old Ireland. With its wee green fields, stone walls crisscrossing the countryside, and those little white-washed cottages.
St. Patrick’s Grave Not Promoted
It is interesting that travel agencies do not promote the fact that St. Patrick is buried in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland.
One would think that many Irish-Americans Catholics would want to visit his grave as a pilgrimage, instead of tearing up your knees at the Knock. I’ve heard that is what they do there.
American Heritage
While in Northern Ireland, spend some time at the Ulster American Heritage Center.
You will be amazed to learn that many American Presidents have their roots in Northern Ireland, including America’s second President John Adams, and his cousin Samuel Adams the father of the American Revolution were of Ulster-Scottish descent!

The larger meeting of the three hundred ministers of the Scottish Presbyterian Church met in Philadelphia at the same time, and drafted a letter to instruct the quarter-million Ulster-Scots in the colonies to ‘Back The Revolution.’
