At dawn, after a night of fierce rioting against the police and British Army in July 1995, Loyalist (Protestant) demonstrators, some wearing the sashes of the Orange Order, gaze down from Drumcree Hill, just outside Portadown, Northern Ireland, on the nationalist (Catholic) Garvaghey Road. The confrontation was sparked by police refusal to allow the Orange Order to parade through the nationalist area, and the issue has become a sectarian flashpoint every July since then. The United Irishmen who (aided by the French) led the Rebellion of 1798 against British Rule in Ireland wore their hair cropped short in imitation of French revolutionaries; subsequently, "Croppies" became a loyalist and sectarian term of contempt for all Catholics, who are here being instructed to know their place.
