Main:
Arguments supporting the view that the growth in support for Irish Home Rule in the years 1867
to 1890 was the personal achievement of Charles Parnell might include:
-His role as political leader: “uncrowned king of Ireland”
-he was charismatic and pragmatic and he was willing to work with parties which was different to
the Fenians who were less practical and realistic . courted by both parties.
-he created a united undisciplined party backed by an efficient electoral and convince the majority
of the Irish people that home rule was realistic
-he emerged on the Irish political scene jus at the time the HR movement needed a leader w his
strength of purpose and dynamism . His decision as leader of HR league to cooperate w the land
league (although credit michael davit for his invitation especially as he provided national
organisation and leadership in 1879 and was the one to encourage Parnell to support agitation) gave
momentum and inspired HR

otherwise may not have led to further acts and a recognition by govt that action as necessary. E.g. it

by Parnell’s pressure
-his positive relationship with Gladstone- negotiated Kilmainham treaty and urged followers to
avoid violence in return for his release and a relaxed coercion act.
Parnell’s imprisonment in 1881 boosted his popularity. He was released from prison in 1882 due to
the ‘Kilmainham Treaty’ which enabled him to take advantage of his increased stature to campaign
actively for Home Rule Parnell’s influence is apparent from Gladstone’s decision to compromise
with him in 1882. It was only through Parnell that the violence of the Land League could be reduced
