Stair na hÉireann \| History of Ireland #OTD in 1844 – Anti-Irish, anti-Catholic Nativists riot in Philadelphia against the increasing influence of the Catholic Church and the influx of Irish immigrants. At least fifteen people die in the rioting. Read more t.co Plunkitt_of_Tammany_Hall The immediate cause of the riots was that Bible reading was a requirement in the public schools, and the Catholic bishop of Philadelphia had asked that Catholic students be allowed to read Catholic bibles instead of the King James Version. The Protestant majority of the city was outraged, and thought the appropriate response to this request was to burn Catholic churches. The church on the right side of the picture is St. Philip Neri on Queen Street being successfully defended by the state militia. Unfortunately, St. Augustine's on North 4th Street had already been burned to the ground.
