The Act of Union of 1803 incorporated the island into British polity, but was useless in easing the difficult situation of the people.. With an overly large population as the result of the Napoleanic Wars, the Irish soon became impoverished. And with the religious prejudice of Protestant Masters to the Catholic Irish, plus political subordination, many had no alternative by to emigrate to the United States for relief. Between 1820 and 1860, the Irish were never less than a third of all immigrants. The British Passenger Acts attempted to deflect the immigration from the British Isles to Canada instead of the U.S., making the fare a cheap 15 shill Read More Go to Site INTERRACIAL VOICE - Guest Editorial Votes:0 Guest Editorial When Are Irish-Americans Not Good Enough to Be Irish-American? "Racial Kidnaping" and the Case of the Healy Family By A.D. Powell Consider the following family history: Michael Morris Healy, an Irish immigrant, arrives in the United States around 1815 and establishes a plantation near Macon, Georgia. Healy and his mulatto common-law wife, Eliza Clark Healy, have 10 children. All of the children are sent North to be educated, baptized as Catholics, and leave any social disabilities of Georgia behind them. The children achieve great success as Irish-Americans: James Augustine Healy became Bishop of Portland, Maine Patrick Francis Healy became the rector then President of Georgetown University (1873-1881). Michael Morris Healy, Jr. joined the United States Revenue Cutter Servi Read More Go to Site Irish Americans & US Army Votes:0 CAMP IN NORTHERN IRELAND by Harrison Standley US Army in Northern Ireland, 1941-1945 Order of Battle (a numerical listing of the US Army, to include Army Air Force, units stationed in Northern Ireland).

Large areas of this land was under the control of landowners living in England. Much of this land was rented to small farmers who, because of a lack of capital, farmed with antiquated implements and used backward methods. The average wage for farm labourers in Ireland was eight pence a day. This was only a fifth of what could be obtained in the United States and those without land began to seriously consider emigrating to the New World. In 1816 around 6,000 Irish people sailed for America. Within two year Read More Go to Site Irish Immigration Votes:0 Irish emigrants on shipboard in the River Mersey, about to embark for America, c. 1846 Immigration to the United States virtually ceased with the outbreak of the revolution. Before it could resume, the Napoleonic Wars effectively prevented travel across the Atlantic. It began again during the so-called Era of Good Feelings, which coincided with the administrations of James Monroe, but did not become significant until the 1830s. Many of the first emigrants from Ireland came to work upon the Erie Canal and then upon the host of other canal projects started in its wake. They then found work on the railroads. Many, perhaps most, were skilled workers. Often they had migrated first to England where they had acquired experience. Suddenly, in the mid-1840s, the size and nature of Irish immigration Read More Go to Site Irish Immigration to Maryland Votes:0 Irish Immigration into Maryland during the Colonial and Antebellum Eras Chronology of Irish Immigration 1632 Charter granted officially to Cecil Calvert for Maryland. The Calverts, who were Roman Catholic, hoped that Maryland would be a land of religious tolerance for all faiths, not just Roman Catholics. 1634 Ark and Dove: Irish may have been indentured servants on the Ark and Dove when it landed in southern Maryland at St. Clement's Island. 1649 Act of Toleration passed by Maryland Assembly granting religious freedom for Christians. 1688 Glorious Revolution reinstated Protestant Monarchy in England. 1702 Catholics in Maryland disenfranchised. 1715 Dr. Charles Carroll, born in Ireland, arrives in Annapolis. Becomes large landowner in Maryland, owning 2,800 acres in western Maryland. 1717 Read More Go to Site Irish Texans Votes:0 The Irish have early connections with Texas and a long history filled with oppression, violence, individual ingenuity, faith, and exciting stories. Long under English domination, the Irish have always left their homeland, in numbers large and small, to find fortune elsewhere. The ad interim governor of Texas in 1767 was Hugo Ocon?r, whose name leaves no doubt of origin. He was not the only Irish soldier or administrator or adventurer to enter the service of another country more congenial than England. Some were independent agents. Philip Nolan of Belfast was well known for efficient horse trading and illegal mapping in Spanish Texas. The latter occupation led to his death in 1801. Father Juan August?n Morfi, with a name as obvious as any Irish priest, came on a government inspection trip t Read More Go to Site Irish-Americans In The Civil War Votes:0 Irish-Americans in the Civil War There is perhaps no other ethnic group so closely identified with the Civil War years and the immediate aftermath of the war as Irish Americans. Of those Irish who came over much later than the founding generations, fully' 150,000 of them joined the Union army. Unfortunately, statistics for the Confederacy are sketchy at best; still, one has but to listen to the Southern accent, and listen to the sorts of tunes Southern soldiers loved to sing, to realize that a great deal of the South was settled by Irish immigrants. But because the white population of the Confederate states was more native-born than immigrant during the Civil War years, there did not seem as much of a drive in the Southern army to recognize heritage in the names and uniforms of regiments a Read More Go to Site PBS | About This Site .
