Wolfe Tone (Bhulbh Teón) was born in Dublin on 20th June 1793. He was one of the founding members of the United Irishmen, a republican society determined to end British rule in Ireland. He came from a Protestant family. He was active in drawing Irish Catholics and Presbyterians together in the United cause, and in soliciting French assistance for a general insurrection.

On the mild morning of 16th December 1796, the 43 ship fleet of L’Expédition d’Irlande left Brest, France on its way to invade Ireland. #WolfeTone was aboard one.
They arrived in Bantry Bay on 22nd. Severe storms along the Atlantic coast meant they failed to disembark troops & ultimately led to the fleet giving up the attempt.
Castlereagh arrived there with troops on 7th January 1797 and watched the last French ships leave Bantry Bay.

In 1794 the #UnitedIrishmen were driven underground. #WolfeTone went to France. The abortive invasion in Bantry Bay in 1796 was followed by revolt in 1798 (coupled with a French invasion defeated in Longford). https://www.historyireland.com/close-enough-toss-ships-biscuit-ashore-french-fleet-bantry-bay-1796/
Tone was captured, was tried (where he outlined his principles in a speech from the dock), was wounded in prison (by himself or another) and died.
"I have laboured to abolish the infernal spirit of religious persecution, by uniting the Catholics and Dissenters."

Based on Paine among others, Tone argues for the desperate need for political reform. Such reform, he says cannot be successful if it ignores the majority: Catholics. He rebutts arguments that Catholics cannot be trusted.
His pamphlet was widely popular.

Theobald #WolfeTone died in prison #OTD 1798. He had been a founder member of the #UnitedIrishmen in 1791, had personally sought assistance from the French and was aboard a ship at the aborted invasion at Bantry Bay in 1796, and a leader in the #1798Rising.
He was buried in Bodenstown, Co. Kildare.
