Who stayed during the potato famine after the Irish?

Answer 1

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.
