&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;FENIANS. The Fenians were members of the Fenian movement in Ireland and elsewhere, especially America and England. The Fenians wanted independence from British rule. The Great Famine had a massive impact on Ireland. Some in Ireland believed that the government in London had deliberately done as little as possible to aid the people of Ireland and these people concluded that the only hope Ireland had for its future was a complete separation from Great Britain. If London was unwilling to grant this, then the Fenians would fight for it. (1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1848 a group of revolutionaries known as &amp;quot;Young Ireland&amp;quot; launched an ill-prepared uprising against the government. It was a failure. Two of the members of Young Ireland, James Stephens and John O&amp;#039;Mahony, fled to Paris. (2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1853, O&amp;#039;Mahony went to America. Here he tried to gain support for another uprising from those who had left Ireland during the Great Famine. Stephens returned to Ireland in 1856. In Dublin in March 1858, he formed a secret society that became known as the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Its aim was Independence for Ireland. (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In America O&amp;#039;Mahony became the leader of a new organization called the &amp;quot;Fenian Brotherhood.&amp;quot; Its name came from the Fianna, a band of Irish warriors of the 2nd and 3rd centuries. The name ‘Fenians’ became an umbrella term to cover all the groups associated with wanting independence for Ireland. (4)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Fenian movement grew, so did the difficulties of keeping it organized.  The two founders – O’Mahony and Stephens – disagreed on how the movement should develop. In 1863, Stephens founded a newspaper called the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Irish People&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. He wanted to make people aware of what the Fenians represented. O’Mahony did not approve. He felt such a paper would attract even more attention to the movement from the British government based in Dublin. He preferred the movement develop in secrecy. Another problem faced by the Fenians was that the Roman Catholic Church was generally not supportive of them. The power of the local priests was great and their influence within a local community, especially among the older members, meant that they could undermine whatever influence the Fenians tried to establish. (5)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Fenians always faced the possibility of being infiltrated by British spies. An uprising in Ireland had been planned for 1866 but never took place because the government knew about it. In September 1866, the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Irish People&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was shut down by the government and Stephens was arrested and sent to prison. He escaped from jail and went to America. Anyone suspected of being involved with the Fenians was arrested. Money sent from America for the Fenians was seized. The government also believed that some units of the British Army based in Ireland were sympathetic to the Fenians. These units were moved out of Ireland. (6)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was an attempted uprising in 1867, though it was a failure. The ‘uprising’ was led by Thomas Kelly who had fought in the American [[CIVIL WAR]]. Kelly based himself in London where he gained support from the large Irish community that had come to the city during the Great Famine. (7)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kelly and other Fenians failed in their attempt to attack Chester Castle to gain weapons and ammunition. Kelly and another Fenian were arrested. In September 1867, Kelly was being taken to Manchester to be tried, when he was rescued by other Fenians. During the rescue, a policeman was killed. Three of the Fenians were caught and after a trial were hanged for murder. To the Fenians, they became known as the &amp;quot;Manchester Martyrs&amp;quot;. To many in Ireland, the sentence was considered far too harsh for what they saw as an accidental killing. (8)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 1867, several Londoners were killed when a bomb planted by the Fenians exploded at Clerkenwell Prison. This caused a wave of anti-Irish feeling in London and elsewhere in England. The activities of the Fenians were partly responsible for prompting William Gladstone into his stated mission – &amp;quot;to pacify Ireland&amp;quot;. (9)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Fenian Movement spread to Iowa from 1866 to 1869. (10) On July 4, 1866 large Fenian demonstrations were held in the city. A Fenian convention was held in Dubuque on July 2-4, 1867. Between 1867 and 1870 the Sarsfield Circle of Fenians, led by John O&amp;#039;Neill, held at least four balls. The height of the movement in Iow2a was reached in 1868 when an estimated fifty chapters were present. (11)&lt;br /&gt;
