Precisely,it was the Irish Famine that stimulated people's desire to emigrate ,for in wihich,2.5 million people lost their lives,and the famine was quickly followed by three more crop failures in 1846,1848 and 1851.Potatoes rotted in the fields,starvation and death wrecking havoc on the whole land,people suffered unspeakably,yet British government was looking on arms folded.This Potato Famine caused a mass exodus of Irish citizens.Between 1846-1851,more than one million Irish immigrants came to America,and another 873,000 arrived between 1860-1880.(W.,pp.39-40).Abandoned,undernourished and tortured by a feeling of defeat,most Irish people had to brave a long and difficult journey for existence to America .
