Ireland was an extremely poor country at the time, so many people left Ireland in search of employment and a better quality of life. The Great Famine of potato (1845 - 1852) also caused a large number of Irish people to immigrate to the United States, among other countries. Millions of Peasants died during Potato famine. Rather than starve many chose to leave.One and half million Irish sold their belongings and bought passage to the United States.
