The majority of people affected by the Great Potato Famine in Ireland immigrated to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
the Irish Famine changed the USA because it brought more people to the country.
There was no cure for the famine, as it was potato blight that caused it. There is a cure now, but not in the 1800's.The health was very bad, because potatoes was the main diet of the Irish people. Many died of scurvy, starvation and other horrific diseases.
