I learned about Ireland that...when it was under British control, many of the Irish lived as indentured serfs tending potatoes, etc and left with just a portion of their harvest. But since they were a 'rowdy' ppl...anytime an Englishman was caught alone he'd get lynched by a mob...so the English were for the most part absentee Landlords...stayed in England and had middlemen manage their landholdings.
(Edit: little tangent. These middlemen investigating unsolved murders on behalf of their Overseas employees is what eventually developed into the intuition we know as the POLICE...its why the Irish always held working as cops with high esteem, it was the earliest way they got 'recruited' into the System/Machine...investigating and snitching on their murderous peers.)
When the potato famine happened, all the Irish who couldn't afford their rent got evicted. Most ended up in the care of these 'estates' run by Philanthropists, sort of the prelude to concentration camps. The more cunning were able to board ships embarking to Liverpool etc, and from there on to the new world (Boston, NY Baltimore, etc).
So most Irish Americans are descendants of ppl who couldn't afford to pay their rent to their Anglo slum-lords...it's why Irish Americans to this day are more 'left-leaning' than other White ppl, even the Irish in Ireland.
