Abstract
Using material from public sources, this paper seeks to understand how Ulster unionists, in the late nineteenth century, described themselves in terms of territorial identities. The paper challenges the claim that unionists possessed an incoherent sense of national identity, and argues that unionists held to a complex sense of identity that was consistent with assumptions of British nineteenth century identity.Keywords
