What was Ireland like in the 1800s?

Not great if you were Irish. Britain took over Ireland and believed they were better than the Irish so didn't treat them very well. Most of the population if not all had to pay rent to English landlords. The English landlords could put up the rent at their discretion or evict them at their discretion. The English government tried to keep the Irish down, in power and during the worst famine ever in Irish history did nothing to help them. They used workhouses to "help" instead. People were dying from starvation and disease. What the workhouses did was split up families: men in one section, women in the other. They were fed but had to work. The british did not tell them anything about the outside world and they were treated like crap. Most people who went into the workhouse never came out as disease was rife. Before the workhouses a charity set up souphouses to feed the people however the English government banned these and made them illegal as they did not really want the Irish to recover as they were in a powerful position with all of this going on.
