Answer 1

There's an article in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Donnellys

Basically, it was a feud with a long history; part of it had to do with the Catholic - Protestant division that began back in Ireland, but the more immediate cause had to do with James Donnelly's dispute with a man named Farrell over land. A court awarded Donnelly some of the land but both sides were dissatisfied with the outcome. There was a public brawl and Farrell was killed. Donnelly was sent to prison. That all preceeded the massacre by a few years but was considered one of the reasons for it, but it was a complex situation and people were polarized along religious lines.. It's very controversial still.

Hope this helps.
