It was Irish (mostly Ulster) Unionists in the late 1800's who with their allies in the British Conservative party who consistantly objected to the idea of Irish home rule, the idea of a separate homeland for the Protestant Ulstermen seemed like the only compromise, and it was the only thing that nobody wanted, not the British government, not Irish nationalists and not Ulster Loyalists.
