They left because of the potatoe famine, in which a blight caused potatoes to be inedible , and considering Ireland was so poor back then and the potato was the staple diet, people thought that they'd have a better life in the us. They left Ireland because of the "opportunities" united sates, because they believed that they would live alot better there.
