Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Yes, perhaps, though my impression from reading history is that it was a more isolated event, rather than an event by one community against another. Perhaps a clearer example would be the annual parades by Orangemen through the Catholic neighborhoods in Northern Ireland that commemorate Cromwell's defeat and persecution of Irish Catholics--and are still intended by the marchers to generate fear and to show exultation.
