Both the police and the judiciary were also overwhelmingly Protestant. Anti-Catholic discrimination extended

actually like. Being born in America, as well as being the child of Irish immigrants, i’ve always been taught about Irish history because it 's what my parents grew up with.

Once they arrived and said their casually platonic gratitudes and goodbyes, Charlie approached the large, and in her personal opinion, quite boring apartment complex that
