This is exactly how to teach young men. Exactly

This is probably the only war that the Euro-weenies will ever win this century.

Sir John Hume, an Englishman, was granted lands in County Fermanagh in the early 17th century, as part of King James’ Plantation, and here we see his castle

By 1641, the Irish who had been effectively supplanted by the Plantation, having several times thought about conspiracy and uprising, decided to take the plunge: and in 1641 in Moneymore the rebellion awoke. By Christmas Day in 1641, the Rebellion arrived in County Fermanagh, and Tully Castle was captured, the inhabitants massacred, and the buildings burned. And that is the way they have remained until this day - the thatched roof was destroyed, the roofs of the corner towers were destroyed, the whole thing given over to dereliction and overgrowth.

The Plantation of Ulster.
