Great Irish Potato famine
Potato Blight, Potato Late Blight Agent, Potato Late Blight Fungus
The Irish Famine, also known as the Great Famine or the Irish Potato Famine, occurred from 1845 to 1852. It was a period of mass starvation and disease in Ireland due to the failure of the potato crop, which was a staple food for the Irish population. The famine resulted in the deaths of approximately one million people and caused widespread emigration from Ireland.
The name McLaughlin is a very Irish name, with a few Scottish variants. (i.e. MacLaughlin) This name, more exactly, originates in the county Meath in Ireland and has been around long before the Battle of Hastings in 1066 AD. Many Irish fled from their country to find a better life, especially during the Great Potato Famine. This is how we have the Irish surname of McLaughlin in the United States.

The Irish famine caused famine related death as well as death from famine related diseases. It was actually during the Irish potato famine that famine related diseases were recorded for the first time by doctors in work houses where the poor went when they were homeless and had no means of feeding themselves. These poor houses were over populated and disease spread rapidly. The main famine related diseases we are talking about are typhus and dysentery.The famine was caused by the fact that the Irish had been gradually dispossessed, practically across the board, during the English invasions. With no land of their own, they became poor peasants who had to rent from landlords at an expensive price.

it wasnt a famine as such there was enough food to feed the people of Ireland 4 times over but under law at the time the food was shipped and round the British empire to feed its armies ect , the few counties in the middle of the country was designated to feed the Irish people and it was this part that got the potato plight which was the main source of food for the Irish at the time. most people think it was a famine when realy it was not. its an actual documented fact. puls the name potato plight should show that it was only the potato crop at the time that was effected and not carrots turnips cabbage etc that get effected by this . also land grab was going on at the time were no Irish man was allowed to own his own land and was kicked out of there homes while they were demolished for English lords land sorry i cant explain better its just what i remembr from school but i know its in a lot of history books if you look them up
