Its inspiration was a young Dublin Barrister, Theobald Wolfe Tone, who was invited to Belfast by Presbyterian radical republicans after publishing a pamphlet titled 'An Argument on Behalf of the Catholics of Ireland'.

In Belfast, Tone, Henry Joy McCracken, Thomas Russell, and Samuel Neilson drafted the three resolutions of the United Irishmen that were to guide republicans for the next two centuries.

The political thinking of Tone and his associates was strongly influenced by the democratic principles of the French revolutionary ideals of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” and it was natural that they should turn to France for help.

Belfast was known as "The Athens of The North" due to its radical thinking on 'enlightenment ideas'. Its newspaper 'The Northern Star' would become the most popular across Ireland espousing these ideas.

Thomas Paine's, 'The Rights of Man' was described as the 'Koran of Belfast'...what a time to be alive in 1790's Belfast!
