The Brits were pretty humane in how they conducted their colonies. You might say, they behaved in a Christian manner, turning a profit while keeping in mind the well-being of the people they ruled.

I think that many Irish would disagree with that assessment.

Ireland wasn’t a colony in the usual sense. The problems there were of long standing and unrelated to the British colonial era. It’s been a complicated mess since the days of Strongbow, and I say that as an American of Irish descent (and a Catholic).
