History
The Loyal National Repeal Association was organized by Daniel O'Connell in 1830 with the goal of breaking political ties with Britain and repealing the Act of Union of 1800. The association was well organized and gained members throughout the early 1840s. The repeal campaign failed in its mission to escape British rule but did engage millions of Irish people in a political cause, and the famed "Monster Meetings", which were attended by tens of thousands of people, demonstrated that the majority of people in Ireland opposed British rule.
