when the Anglo Irish treat was signed in 1920 six of the nine the nine ulster counties where exempted from the treaty due to the fact they had a unionist majority and they did not want to leave the union.
The reason they had a unionist majority was due to the fact that 1606 the plantion of ulster took place. King James I confiscated the land from all the Irish chieftains all of whom where catholic and used it to settle colonists mostly from England and Scotland. the scottish settlers where mostly Presbyterian and English Protestant's.
Prior to its conquest in the 1590s, ulster had been the most rebellious part of Ireland to the English invaison, a province existing largely outside English control.
