This dissertation investigates the forced enlistment of United Irishmen into British military service during the 1790s and their subsequent experiences. It highlights the significance of transitional spaces in the Atlantic narrative of these Irish rebels. Often neglected or treated as peripheral, these spaces nurtured the rebellious spirit that the United Irishmen carried with them upon leaving Ireland. In their efforts to quell Irish insurgency in the 1790s, British authorities implemented a strategy of deportation and conscription. Initially, this practice was conducted illegally and acknowledged by British officials as unconstitutional and extrajudicial. This abuse of state power had enduring ramifications, including challenges to the legitimacy of the British Empire and the facilitation of the United Irishmen's international expansion. The dissertation also explores United Irish networks throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland. To capture the conscription experience and examine these radical networks, it focuses on transitional spaces such as the New Geneva internment facility in southern Ireland, prison and transport vessels, and dockyards and ports. By doing so, it demonstrates the extent of United Irish influence by analyzing the 1798 mutinies on the British warships Princess Royal and Ceasar of the Mediterranean and Channel Fleets respectively, and contends that these uprisings were interconnected through the United Irishmen.
