Pioneers of Irish America: Irish Emigration before the Great Famine

  • Résumé

  • The stereotypical Irish emigrant is often seen as a famine exile from the west of Ireland. However, in the decades before the Great Hunger of the 1840s, over one million Irish people had already crossed the Atlantic. These early 19th-century emigrants, who laid the foundations of modern Irish American communities, differed significantly from the common stereotypes. In this episode, Fin and Damian delve into the stories of this forgotten generation, exploring their motivations, experiences, and lasting impact.


    Teaser for Next Episode: In the next episode, we will explore the Irish involvement in the violent tensions that led to the outbreak of the American Civil War. Subscribe to the show https://linktr.ee/transatlanticpod
