During the period between 1820 and 1860, the Irish represented the largest group of immigrants coming to the United States.

Immigrants came to the US because they wanted to search for a better life and more freedom than their previous home. They came to the US because a lot of countries back then were having a Great Depression of their own and many people just wanted to find jobs so they could earn money and feed there families.

Most of the Irish immigrants who came to the United States to escape the Potato Famine settled in and around Boston and New York. The main reason was they didn't come to the country with very much money, and lacked the resources to move further inland.
