around 1800 thomas malthus said in an essay that Britain's population was growing faster than food production. when the move towards large scale scientific farming put many agricultural workers out of work, these workers started moving to highly industrial countries such as the united states, looking for work.

the Irish famine was the reason that over a quarter of the Irish population had emigrated to the united states in between 1846 and 1854.

There was also a German revolution that failed in 1848. plenty of Germans left their homelands to escape political turmoil, and many were just impoverished people who had given up on their government.
