 * Irish immigration to America** - The Irish people started immigrating in the 19th century to America. The process of emigrating and immigrating to America was called “The American Wake”. Ireland immigrants already knew that they would never see Ireland again. The Ireland people left their state and city on droves on ship or more likely called “Coffin of Ships” because of the bad conditions the ships were. Once the Ireland people got to America they could look for work but there was signs that said “NO IRISH NEED APPLY” this signs lead to the St.Patricks Day and this is when Ireland people can feel included to America now.
