Moving to the United Stats

 Life in Ireland was cruel; immigrating to America was not easy ether it was known to as the "American Wake" for these people who would never even see Ireland again. All started in the 19th century when many people left Irish for a better life. many things started happening in Irish that not many agreed with and if they would fight back they would be over took by the people who were in charge not many people had jobs ether some did which would be in the farms with little amount of everything but they still made it. what a lot of people started doing was leaving Irish to go to the United Stats  because a lot of people heard life there was easy and they didn’t have to go though so much so many people got there families and left to the United Stats .
 

In 1816 over 6,000 Irish people sailed to America. And after 2years it doubled. Even though it took them many weeks to get to the United Stats  they still did it and made it there as well. they would have to go through so much to get there stopping in a lot of places with not much food and people that they might not even no. Over all they cared about was making it to the place they  no freedom was there New York.

When they made it to the United Stats  the Ireland would leave in a place where not many people lived mostly the ones they emigrated with just so they won’t be caught and have they sent back. the men would work in anything they pays and so would women even though most of them stayed home as house wife’s but for them men all they cared about was having enough money for them to survive they would be please with it. They didn’t work in big company’s since they were emigrates but they still had job which was the important part.
Life was different for mostly everyone who moved to the United Stats  with different things exposing in front of them just like religion schools and other things as well not many changed their ways but for the kids they sure did since schools in the United Stats  has more information then there schools back in Irish they knew more. This is a good thing for them since they didn’t no so much before.

I think leaving your home for a better life is a good thing and that if I had my chance to leave my home left in Irish with everything that was going there I would probably do the same so I agree with most families that leave for a restart in their life I believe there making the right choose on leavening before they changes goes away.
