Irish migration to America during the potato famine due to starvation, discrimination, and assimilation challenges.
The Irish emigrated to America primarily due to the potato famine caused by a blight that destroyed their main food source, resulting in mass starvation and death.
This dire situation led many Irish immigrants to seek better opportunities in the United States to escape poverty and famine, with a significant number settling in cities along the East Coast where they faced discrimination but found employment as laborers.
Irish immigrants fleeing the famine contributed to the term 'Black Irish' and faced challenges assimilating into American society while adding to the diverse mix of European immigrants in the US during the 1800s.
