Ireland had a massive famine between 1845 and 1852, even though 4000 ships filled with food grown in Ireland were exported to cities in England. British landlords in Ireland wanted to be able to make profit at the expense of starving Irish people. Those that left Ireland in "coffin" ships traveled to Canada, the United States, and even Australia.
Ireland was an extremely poor country at the time, so many people left Ireland in search of employment and a better quality of life. The Great Famine of potato (1845 - 1852) also caused a large number of Irish people to immigrate to the United States, among other countries. Millions of Peasants died during Potato famine. Rather than starve many chose to leave.One and half million Irish sold their belongings and bought passage to the United States.
Something called the POTATO FAMINE!
