What happen to the Irish when they came to the US?
There were two waves of Irish into the the US. The first came before the revolution and settled in the colonies. Many of our founding fathers were from these people and they comprised a large percentage of about 8-10% of the population. The early Irish settlers were also from Northern Ireland, educated, and fairly well off. The second wave came in the 1850's and were mainly poor farmers who were leaving because of the potato famine. They were looked down up by the earlier Irish because they were uneducated,poor and Catholic. Many of the young men in the second wave made up the Union army. They were signed up as they came off of the ships from Ireland. The second wave of Irish were discriminated against, poorly paid, and treated with disrespect even by the Irish that were all ready here. A great deal of the culture of the US is Celtic and came with these people. Both sets that came were hard working people who gave a great deal to their new worlds.

At the time jobs like Policeman, Firefighter, Soldier were looked upon as menial, and dangerous. The Irish took these jobs and held them with a sense of pride. To this day many Irish children follow in the steps of their fathers and mothers becoming policemen, firefighters and soldiers ... mine included
