Topic:
Irish Immigration to America
The historical event I have chosen to study is Irish Immigration into America. Being an immigrant myself it will be interesting to study and understand the processes they had to endure.
Having been through a religious and political conflicts and the promise of land ownership and
religious freedom was too much of a good opportunity to give up. The conflict between the Protestants and the Catholics that was at the forefront of the conflict in Ireland carried over to
the US. The Potato Blight in the 1840 caused another wave of Irish Immigrants to make their way to America. It is estimated that within 90 years between 1820-1930 4.5million Irish immigrants made their way over to America. Being forced to join the workforce at the bottom
of the ladder having to do the job Americans didn’t want to do. They also fought during the civil war in an Irish American regiment. Research Question: What prejudice did the Irish Immigrants face when it came to their pre-
establish religion.

I chose these two sources to complement each other while assisting in my research. One of the sources is from the Library of Congress and the other from Macaulay EDU. They both give a different variation of the religious practices of the Irish immigrants. I decided on specifically these two sources based on searching for key words within each of these sources and offered a lot of InSite into the struggles they faced. By using these resources, I believe I am able to answer my question about What prejudices did the Irish Immigrants face when it came to their pre-establish religion.
