Hi!

What do you think Europe and the Western Hemisphere would have been like had the Irish potato famine not taken place? The Irish supposedly fled to England, Canada, and the United States in great numbers. Many East Coast cities became 25-50% Irish. Many of those who tried to stick it out in Ireland didn't make it.

Would America have different ideas about immigration had not been forced to absorb all the refugees? Would Ireland be stronger today?

Thanks in advance,
