personally, i think the potato famine was absolutely worse than the Jewish holocaust.... the potato famine killed a million irish people.
Most of the immigration was caused by the potato famine, but some were caused when their king had switched to a England church because of his marriage. That caused England to be in control of Ireland which left them weak. Another when the black plague had spread to them from England and the Irish were mad at them cause now, England had made most of their troubles.
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.
