The potato famine was a time of great emigration to America-- the land of Opportunity.
Americans helped the IRA in the days when the IRA was planting bombs and killing many innocent people in an effort to unite Norther Ireland with Southern Ireland.There were many attacks and car bombing in UK as well as in
parts of Ireland.
Old grudges against Britain and religion were two of the reasons.
