In the midst of a tumultuous era in 20th-century Ireland, a heated debate brewed within the ranks of the Sinn Féin party. Eamon de Valera, a prominent Sinn Féin leader, took to the stage at the Ard Fheis, the party’s annual convention, on February 20, 1922, to deliver a stirring address. With the country on the brink of civil war, de Valera’s words would be etched in the memories of those present for years to come.
