Ulster is one of the four ancient provinces of Ireland, incorporating counties in the present Irish Republic and province of Northern Ireland. "Planting" refers to the former British government practice of settling Protestants (mostly from Scotland) into the north eastern area of Ireland, with the intention that these Protestants would spread throughout the country and weaken the Catholic influence; it failed as the majority remained in the north east. With the eventual granting of independence to Ireland, the Ulster counties of Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone voted to form a new province, called Northern Ireland, whilst the Ulster counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan elected to be part of the Republic. Most of the Protestants in the North erroneously equate the province Northern Ireland with the term "Ulster".
