Changing the Face of Ireland.
Several events have had great impact on Irish history.
We have covered elsewhere the Flight of the Earls and the
Plantation in Ulster, Cromwellian times, the Battle of the
Boyne and the Treaty of Limerick (1691). The Irish famine
of 1845- 1852 is another such event. We will talk about that
in these two sessions.
From whence it came
The Potato came from the Mexican Central Highlands, by 1843
in Philadelphia, and New York. Bad Seed Potatoes sent to
Belgium farmers in 1845, etc.. Phytopthora Infestans is the
name of the disease which is a oomycete or fungus
Potatoes had become the sole food for 1/3 of Ireland. Famines
happened before and after the great famine. i.e. 1820’s, 1879.....
This famine reached Ireland in 1845.
1845- SE counties affected first, Luckily 1/6 of crop was
harvested before it struck, so milder affects.
Peel ordered 100,000 pounds of Indian Meal to help.
No one died of simple starvation 1845-46.
(per Gill History of Ireland)
1846- Total Crop failure. Whig party assumes power. Hands off
attitude.
Work Programs supported, but not so much food.
Landlords evicting tenants making things worse.
1847- Crop not as bad, but plague, disease and death in the streets till ‘52.
Canada: 16,000 of 100,000 passengers died en route or on arrival.
1848- Crop failure worsens.
1849- Crop improves
1850- Potatoe disease is on the wane, but by now, more Irish in NYC than Dublin.
1841-1851- Several million Irish people dead or abroad.
1851- 1/4 of Liverpool was Irish, 1/3 of Toronto was Irish
Perhaps 1 million dead, not from pure starvation,
but from typhus, fever, dropsy, and cholera
Worst Hit: Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Cork, Kerry, parts of Tipperary, Cavan, Laois.
Immigration: Over 100,000 per year 1847-54. By 1860 = 48,000.
Germans then became highest foreign born in
numbers.
Some Destinations:
United States / Grosse Ile Canada / Earl Grey in Australia
United States:
The Largest Foreign born group in the U.S. from 1800-1850 (total)
First Ghettos Formed in all major U.S. cities (except Salt Lake City)
Old Irish Settlers did not always identify with the new diseased immigrants.
We now romanticize, perhaps forgetting terrible conditions.
Many came to US after initial arrival in Canada.
80% settled in cities (Mass., NY, PA, IL.)
1/4 of population in Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.
Volumes of ads for workers and missing friends in the papers.
(Boston Pilot, Freemans Journal.)
Political control of police and fire departments, Street building
crews, labor.
Railroad: ‘An Irishman buried under every tie” ‘Shanty Irish”
(Shanty Pole)
We also note ‘souperism’, Grosse Ile on the St. Lawrence Seaway;
The aftermath of the famine, memorials, evictions, and the
Earl Grey Scheme which mostly female orphans from Ireland
were shipped to Australia to escape the misery.
Later sessions will deal more extensively with the immigration
of the Irish to the far corners of the earth...
Thanks,
Mike O’Laughlin

SUMMARY
=======
A tram (in North America streetcar or trolley) is a rail vehicle which runs on tramway tracks along public urban streets; some include segments of segregated right-of-way. The lines or networks operated by tramcars are called tramways. Historically the term electric street railways was also used in the United States. In the United States, the term tram has sometimes been used for rubber-tyred trackless trains, which are not related to the other vehicles covered in this article.
Tram vehicles are usually lighter and shorter than main line and rapid transit trains. Today, most trams use electrical power, usually fed by a pantograph sliding on an overhead line; older systems may use a trolley pole or a bow collector. In some cases by a contact shoe on a third rail is used. If necessary, they may have dual power systems—electricity in city streets, and diesel in more rural environments. Occasionally, trams also carry freight.
Trams are now commonly included in the wider term light rail, which also includes grade-separated systems. Some trams, known as tram-trains, may have segments that run on mainline railway tracks, similar to interurban systems. The differences between these modes of rail transport are often indistinct, and a given system may combine multiple features.
One of the advantages over earlier forms of transit was the low rolling resistance of metal wheels on steel rails, allowing the animals to haul a greater load for a given effort. Problems included the fact that any given animal could only work so many hours on a given day, had to be housed, groomed, fed and cared for day in and day out, and produced prodigious amounts of manure, which the streetcar company was charged with disposing of. Electric trams largely replaced animal power in the late 19th and early 20th century. Improvements in other forms of road transport ...

SUMMARY
=======
Irish Americans (Irish: Gael-Mheiriceánaigh) are an ethnic group comprising Americans who have full or partial ancestry from Ireland, especially those who identify with that ancestry, along with their cultural characteristics. About 33 million Americans — 10.5% of the total population — reported Irish ancestry in the 2013 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. This compares with a population of 6.7 million on the island of Ireland. Three million people separately identified as Scotch-Irish, whose ancestors were Ulster Scots and Anglo-Irish Protestant Dissenters who emigrated from Ireland to the United States. However, whether the Scotch-Irish should be considered Irish is disputed.
