- "People over there are so wrapped up in how you perceive the Lord they forget we're all part of his flock. Stories change, Connor. The way people tell them evolves. It's no different in the Bible and I believe that's the real root of all the strife back home. But nobody wants to listen to me – if you don't see it their way, you're a heathen."

Ireland is an island located northwest of continental Europe, alongside the island of Great Britain. In modern times, it is divided between the Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland, which the latter itself is a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
Historically, Ireland has had many conflicts between Catholics and Protestants. A notable Irishman, William Johnson, was born to Catholic parents, but converted to Protestantism as he found Catholicism limited his opportunities among the nobility. The Templars were present in the country, fanning the flames of persecution and violence, which prompted Irish people such as Anne Bonny, Duncan Little and John O'Brien, to migrate to the Thirteen Colonies.[1][2]
