Answer 1

Mollys in Ireland
The Molly Maguires originated in Ireland, where their semi-legendary vigilante organization fought Irish landlords for tenants' rights. The group's name supposedly came from a widow named Molly Maguire, who after being evicted by her landlord led violent anti-landlord agitations in the 1840s. The organization was established officially in 1843. Maguire may have been a mythical figure.

In the 1880s, the Molly Maguires in Ireland slowly merged with a newly evolving society, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, becoming a secret society retaining the second front name of Molly Maguires, or The Mollies. They spread under the cloak of the Hibernians and with the approval of the Irish Parliamentary Party into every Irish county. Their strongest opponents were the All-for-Ireland League. The Mollies radicalised the Irish political scene with sectarian violence and intimidation until the outbreak of World War I in 1914 and are thought by some to be somewhat responsible for the ultimate partition of Ireland
