Best Answer

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.
