What is the reason for Ireland being partitioned?

Are you serious?

Ulster was a Unionist area while the South was a predominantly nationalist area.

The war of independence caused the British government to give into the Irish people's want for self determination.

The Unionist wouldn't stand for Ulster being separated from Britain, so Ireland was split into 2 different states, under the same King.

The Free State (The South) became a colony similar to Canada after that, that is until it left the commonwealth, with the drafting of the 1936 constitution.

While the North remained a part of Britain.

Why did they leave Ireland to come to the US?

The Irish potato famine hit 1844-49, it's worst year being 1845 or 'black 45' as it was known. Basically the Irish population of 8 million had become incredibly dependant on the potato for food, as it reproduces so quickly in wet soil (which we have lots of). Then a blight hit the potato crop in Ireland (obviously they didn't have sprays to protect their crop) so the potatoes rotted in the ground. They were soft and mushy when dug up so people began to starve. One million starved to death in that period of time, one million emigrated, mostly to the USA and the UK, which is the answer to your question.
