After the potato famine of 1845, a significant number of Irish emigrated to countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia in search of better opportunities and to escape the devastation caused by the famine. Conversely, those who remained in Ireland had to endure the harsh realities of poverty, land dispossession, and continued British rule, which fueled a sense of resilience and a demand for political and social change. This period marked a significant shift in Irish identity and nationalism, laying the groundwork for future movements advocating for independence and reform.

Who stayed during the potato famine after the Irish?

During the Irish Potato Famine, many of those who remained in Ireland were primarily the rural poor, who lacked the resources to emigrate. Additionally, some middle-class individuals and landowners stayed, attempting to manage their estates or provide assistance to those suffering. Others, including some members of the clergy and charitable organizations, remained to help the afflicted population. The famine led to significant population decline, with many fleeing to the United States and other countries.

Up to about 1170 Ireland was a largely disunified arrangement of kingdoms although there were High Kings, the island was never really a united entity - petty kings ruled various areas (They would nowadays be called 'war-lords'.)
