'Running head: Irish IMMIGRATION IN 1850’S 1 Irish Immigration in 1850’s Dorothy Mathews Eth/125 March 7, 2010 Henry Williams Irish IMMIGRATION IN 1850’S 2 Irish Immigration in 1850’s The suck of ancestry that I came from is the Irish and English and Dutch. I am not certain about the dates, but I am pretty sure that they emigrated around the years 1850 to 1870. The Irish left the island of Ireland because of the white potato vine famine that overtook their country.\r\nEven though indefinable, Irish emigrants faced persecution from other foreigners because they were under am extirpate and some were Irish Catholics, and also from circumstantial knowledge of what industrialization was. The great human body of emigrants was from around 1850 through the late 1870’s. The Irish had learned to farm potatoes, because of the productivity and food market prices. Towards the end of 1845 the potato crops caught a fungus which unmake the crops in the ground and also in the storage bins. This turned them into a disgraceful putrid mass. (Immigration and Immigrants, 2000). By the year 1846 the accurate crop was destroyed.\r\nIn the interim, more than a million people died from famine and need. This began the greatest influx of emigrants from Ireland. After reaching the unify States by sea, the Irish stayed most(prenominal)ly in a city environment because the bulk of them k in the raw nothing but farming and the land. They did not have the finances or the still of buying land to farm. They stayed in the cities and most of them ended up living in the slums with some Chinese and African Americans. They could not get jobs because of their education and because they knew nothing of factories and genuinely living in cities.\r\nMost were use to living on farms and farming the land. Irish IMMIGRATION IN 1850’S 3 Most of the Irish immigrants faced many prejudices and segregation. The nativists and the other immigrants were af raid of them because of their religion and beliefs. They were obligate to live in slums and in poverty because they could not find jobs. The only use they could find was in servitude and menial lug jobs. They were under educated and lamentable. The Irish were image to be stupid and ignorant, so they stayed to themselves.\r\nThe Irish emigrants entered a land with new kind and cultural differences. At this time the African Americans and Asian Americans were involved in disputes, on with the European Americans. Add to this the disruptions between the Catholics and Protestants and there was not much peace in the neighborhoods. During this time, they developed political varyisanships which brought into line a group called the Know Nothing companionship and later(prenominal) the American Protective railroad tie (APA). Neither of these parties lasted for long, but the Irish were later associated with the new Democratic Party.\r\nAlso during this time, Irish immigrant soldiers played a big part in the Civil War during the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg (Immigration and Immigrants, 2000). Irish Americans also were involved in disturbances against the Chinese on the west coast which finally led to Chinese American proscription from America. During this time when the Irish immigrated to America, they suffered from many discriminations, including segregation, racism, and redlining. They were halt from buying properties, because no one valued to sell to them.\r\nThey did not want them in their neighborhoods, or shopping where they shop. They were thought to be ignorant, and beneath the mainstream of people and only sound for menial positions. IRISH IMMIGRATION IN 1850’S 4 By the end of the 19th century, because of all the negativity that they had experience by coming to America, the Irish had grumous their communities and turned back to the church service. The catholic churches in Boston, Massachusetts grew and were able to build and reanimate many churches.\r\nThe Irish families had learned new jobs, and between all the members of these families, they contributed to the growth of the Church in many cities. Soon the Irish American Catholics were associated with the Democratic party. In the 1880’s and the 1890’s, the Irish Americans elected quite a few officials to different positions. Although the Irish Americans were undefined when they arrived in the United States, they assimilated into the country and in the end grew into hale and eager Americans. Most of them came from poor families, but with strong visions and many strong backs, and resolution, they formed strong bonds and strong communities.\r\nThey exit a long legacy of self-respect and ambition. Somewhere along the line they get married into other groups and other races, and from these came good Americans. I am proud to be among them. In answer to your final question: I identify more with the mainstream American culture, but I celebrate St. Patrick’s solar day and wear the green. I have never been to Ireland, but that is one of my fondest wishes. I am proud to be associated with the Irish in America. In my ancestry, somewhere down the line they married with someone of English logical argument and also someone of Dutch/German descent.\r\nThis Emigration was 150 years ago, so the lineage has been mixed with a descriptor of races, since then.
