A flute is a type of aerophone, as is the Eunuch flute, also referred to as a mirliton. A flute is an aerophone or reedless wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of air across an opening. According to the instrument classification of HornbostelâSachs, flutes are categorized as edge-blown aerophones. Aside from the voice, flutes are the earliest known musical instruments.
British colonial policies before and during the crisis exacerbated the effects of the potato blight, leading to mass death by starvation and disease. For example, in March of 1847, at the time of the Choctaw donation, 734,000 starving Irish people were forced to labor in public works projects in order to receive food. Little wonder that survivors referred to the year as âBlack â47.â.
Could someone explain to me in a few brief statements how Northern Ireland became Protestant or how Southern Ireland became Irish Catholic. I'm not sure which came first. The English bastards wanted the Scots' land for sheep to feed their wool mills. They wanted cheap labor in the north of Ireland. They moved the Scots. Ireland has been Catholic since St. Pat. Shortly after England took Ireland as a colonial possession, it sent Protestant Scots to settle the adjacent north of Ireland. Their descendants, and those of some English who also went, remain.
