My earlier work focussed on Irish immigrants in the American South. I wrote a book on the general Irish experience in the nineteenth-century South and another specifically on the Irish in the Confederacy, including Irish immiigrants commemoration of the Confederate experience. I then moved to work on the English in North America as a co-investigator in the AHRC funded project 'Locating the Hidden Diaspora: The English in North America in Transatlantic Perspective, 1750-1850 https://gtr.ukri.org/person/984E9D38-2EFD-42A1-9EC8-80A183154621�� Currently, I am working on two projects, the first examines the role of slavery in the Confederate States of America, the second on Race, Class, and Ethinicity, in the United States Navy during the Civil War. The latter is funded project through a Research Grant from the Arts and Humanities Council, UK. For more info. see:�� www.civilwarbluejackets.com��
