John Mitchel ( Seán Mistéal; 3 November 1815 – 20 March 1875) was an Irish nationalist activist, author, and political journalist. Born in Camnish, County Derry, and reared in Newry, he became a leading member of Young Ireland. He was transported to Van Diemen's Land but later escaped to the USA in the 1850s, he became a pro Southern ( and by extension, pro slavery) editorial voice. Mitchel supported the Confederates during the Civil War and two of his sons died fighting for the Confederate cause. He was elected to the House of Commons in 1875, but was disqualified because he was a convicted felon. His Jail Journal is one of Irish nationalism's most famous texts.
