Unrest

Each side's views, the catholics and protestant, are evident throughout the town. The picture showing the "Free Derry" wall is at the entrance to the all Catholic area of town, outside the walls, called the bogs. This was the site of considerable unrest over the past few decades, but i'll talk about that in a minute. By this sign, they mean they are free of British/Protestant rule. The other sign is loyalist propoganda. Their motto for the past hundred years or more has been "no surrender." They feel they have an equal right to live in the area, just as the Catholics do. Obviously both sides are passionate about their views, thus there has been considerable conflict.
