Pressed between 1642 and the Stuart Restoration in 1660 were the staunchly puritan years of the Protectorate. Irish Presbyterians suffered little under Cromwell, but his Protectorate made it certain that Northern Ireland was not to be a sanctuary for their Scottish Catholic counterparts. Catholic land ownership in Ulster was eradicated, and Catholics were treated with a genocidal assault. Cromwell viewed his army’s assault on Irish Catholics as the manifestation of divine retribution for the slaughter of English victims slain during the 1641 rising. A statistician of the period, Sir William Petty, calculated that of the estimated 1,448,000 inhabitants of Ireland, some 616,000 died from the acts of war, famine, and plague. Of that number, Petty further estimated that 504,000 were native Irish.
