RIBBONISM

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 283 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIBBONISM , the name given to an Irish
secret
 -society
movement
 , which began at the end of the 18th
century
  in opposition to the
Orangemen
  (q.v.), and which was represented by various associations under different names, organized in lodges, and recruited all over
Ireland
  from the lowest classes of the
people
 . The actual name of Ribbonism (from a green badge worn by its members) became attached to the
movement
  later, about 1826; and, after it had grown to its height about 1855, it declined in force, and was practically at an end in its old form when in 1871 the
Westmeath
  Act declared Ribbonism illegal. See also under
