Seven Union generals, six Confederate generals, and over 150,000 Irish-Americans fought in the American Civil War. Who were these men, what was the country they came from like, what shaped them, and how did they get to America? In addition to visiting numerous sites related to the American Civil War, this tour will look at themes, such as Irish Nationalism and Emigration, to explore the motivations behind the men who fought, while traveling through the spectacular countryside of the Emerald Isle. This is a very moving tour, and one you will not find anywhere else.
