Where did the Germans and irish settled when the arrived to the u.s
There was a potato famine and thousands of people were starving to death
The major factor that led to a flood of Irish immigrants to the U.S. in the 1840s and 1850s is the potato famine which led to starvation and the deaths of almost half of the Irish population.
The Irish immigrated because of the Irish Potato Famine in 1845
It was money. They were Christians.
Most Irish are Catholics
Well the irish immigration came in three waves. The first and second "wave" came after 1717. Then the last (3rd) wave was in the mid 19th century (1840s). But the majority of the Irish Immigration was during the 1800s. From about 1841-1850 the U.S recorded 780,719 Irish immigrants. The number is a rough calculation but its probably close.
Probably Roman Catholic because of the many Irish immigrants.
They sought to escape the "potato famine," harsh factory work in Ireland, and religious repression.
Many people who worked in the early clothing industry, both as inside cutters and contract seamstresses, were immigrants, primarily Irish in the 1840s and Germans in the 1850s.
Most of the Irish immigrants who came to the United States to escape the Potato Famine settled in and around Boston and New York. The main reason was they didn't come to the country with very much money, and lacked the resources to move further inland.
