A survey of the ethnic history of the Irish population in the the United States of America.

This series surveys the history of the people of Ireland concerning their impact on the United States of America. For centuries, Ireland suffered under the heel of England and endured hardship that forced thousands to leave. For most, America was the place to go, and this series tells their story from the first colonization efforts to Irish independence in the 20th century.—Kenneth Chisholm <[email protected]>
