Dan Winter, along with James Wilson and James Sloan, founded the Orange Institution in Loughgall in 1796 in response to sectarian tensions over land. After a decisive victory by the Protestant ‘Peep O’ Day Boys’ over the Catholic ‘Defenders’, the Order was founded and Catholics driven out with the threat ‘to hell or to Connaught’.
