Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confiscation in Irish History Modern writers seem to hold that the Irish ought to have been, or actually were, satisfied with this state of affairs, just as eels are said to like being skinned.5 The-lower orders, we are told, benefited immensely by the more settled govern ment, with its ensuing security, brought in by the Settlers. But this view takes no account of the loss of property and position suffered by the free clansmen. N o doubt the servile classes did rise in position, or, what was much the same, saw those who had been their superiors depressed to their own level.6 But to the free clansmen, and above all to the leading families, the new state of affairs must have been intolerable.
