British Ulsterism

British Ulsterism refers to a cultural and political identity among some of the Protestant population in Northern Ireland, emphasizing loyalty to the British Crown and the desire to remain part of the United Kingdom. It often arises from a historical context of conflict between Protestant unionists and Catholic nationalists, particularly around issues of governance and identity. British Ulsterism is linked to the preservation of British culture, including symbols like the Union Jack, and it plays a significant role in the ongoing discussions about Northern Ireland's status, including debates on independence versus union.
