1844 CE
The Nation's editor Charles Gavan Duffy, its chief contributor Thomas Osborne Davis, and its special land correspondent John Blake Dillon lead the radical Young Ireland movement.
The movement advocates the study of Irish history and the revival of the Irish (Gaelic) language as a means of developing Irish nationalism and achieving independence.
Davis writes patriotic verses such as A Nation Once Again and The Battle of Fontenoy.
After O'Connell's release, his health fails rapidly, and the nationalist leadership falls to the Young Irelanders.
