The Irish left Ireland because of the Potato Famine in the 1800′s over two million people fled Ireland to try and make a new life in the United States and Canada. Most of the ships the Irish were in. Was in extremely poor conditions and were named as "coffin ships". Many Irish people died travelling in these coffin ships not having the chance for a better life in Canada and the United States after leaving Ireland. They were in search for a better life in places like the U.S.A but they found there selves facing prejudice, racism and segregation issues.
The Irish faced prejudice issues against their religion and not just in Ireland, but also in the U.S.A many people hated the Irish they did not agree with their religion or their manners. The prejudice grew as the Irish expanded more into the United States. They were noted for being poor, dirty, criminals, and thieves. They got stereotyped for crimes most of them were incapable of doing.
The segregation they faced was because they were poor and a lot were uneducated. Many lived in almshouses (charitable housing provided to enable people, typically elderly people who can no longer work to earn enough to pay rent). They also were only aloud to live with other Irish. Since the houses they lived in was so close together, spreading diseases was not a problem. They had a hard time finding jobs as many people would not hire the Irish. They were denied access to certain business and jobs. Americans would post signs that would say "No Irish Need Apply" or no Irish allowed.
The Irish were subjected to racism, because many people felt they were worse than black people (During this time racism towards African Americans / black people was still taking place.) One key reason they believed the Irish was worse than black people is because, Black people tolerated the treatment and the Irish would not suffer the maltreatment in silence.
