Where do we start? First off, the Irish saved Civilization....that is pretty good depending on your point of view.... Read Thomas Cahill's book in his Hinges of History series "How the Irish saved Civilization." With out the Irish monks, all of the learning of the Greeks and Romans and early Catholic church would have been lost to the barbarian invasions that looted monasteries all over Europe. All of Ancient Philosophy and history, including that of the Roman Republic would have been lost. That would have directly impacted English history and, consequently, that of the United States. With out the historical record of the Athenian Republic, there would have been no United States as we know it today. Take a good look at the Book of Kells and other illuminated manuscripts, plus the saved knowledge that the barbarians couldn't burn simply because of the isolation of the Irish Monks. Irish Monks later reintroduced this knowledge back into mainland Europe, as well as in Britain.
