Gladstone's Mission

The result of the 1868 election was a triumph for Gladstone, the Liberals gained a majority of over 100.

When Gladstone heard of his success, he commented "my mission is to pacify Ireland.

Gladstone held strong religious views and was driven by a moral sense of what was right and wrong.

He viewed many things in Ireland as wrong, and therefore set out to solve the Irish problem, so that it could remain peacefully within the Union.
