The bulk of Irish immigrants came to America based on famine and poverty in Ireland. They continued to feel a strong connection to and love of their country. Once domiciled in the sprawling metropolises of America, many missed the lush Irish countryside as well as the friends and family they had left behind. Though the Irish ghettos in America ,in many ways, kept aspects of Irish culture alive, it was not â??homeâ?? and the nostalgia was unbearable enough for some to return to Ireland despite its troubles.

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.
Mass starvation, disease and emigration in Ireland between 1845 and 1852, occurred during the Great Famine (known as the Potato Famine outside of Ireland), when potato blight devastated the Irish staple potato crop.
