How have Protestants in the north of Ireland changed their position of power over the past centuries in relation to Catholics?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary but students should state that over the centuries, the Protestants in the north of Ireland consolidated their position of power and separated themselves from the native Catholic population in the school system, in residential areas, and in most other aspects of society. Law and strong custom reinforced the subordinate position of Catholics, and the system resembled Jim Crow segregation. The Protestants sought to limit the ability of Catholics to compete for jobs, political power, housing, wealth, and other resources.
