Re: Plantations

Dear Joe
that would 'ante' belleum.  Also and additional meaning of plantation
applies in the example of Northern Ireland.  After the defeat of James II,
land titles were given to transplant protestant colony on to Irish body
politic.  It was referred to as "The plantation"  and Lord only knows when
the results of that one will go away.
