On this day in 1861, Irish patriot Terence MacManus passed away in exile in San Francisco. He was eventually buried in Glasnevin’s Young Irelander plot in recognition of his participation in the rebellion of 1848. At his trial he famously said, “It was not because I loved England less, but because I loved Ireland more.” #youngirelanders #youngirelander #irishpatriots #patriotdead #ireland #irishhistorynerd #onthisday #onthisdayinirishhistory #fenians #sanfrancisco #irishinsanfrancisco #glasnevin #glasnevincemetery #eire #graveyardgirl #graveyardphotography #bestofireland #onthisdate #onthisdateinirishhistory
