Early American natives of discrimination against Irish immigrants |
In the early days, the Irish emigrated to the United States did not escape the potato famine due to the so-called ideal to obtain a new life. The majority of Irish people live in poor housing. Very primitive living conditions there. They live in the basement, the lack of lighting and ventilation, making these places as cholera, yellow fever, typhoid and other areas of high incidence of the disease. This living environment, and their high-crime has become one of the reasons the locals laugh at them. Most Irish immigrants rely on their own low-tech, low-paying jobs live. But they firmly believe that through hard work will make them move up the flow of society. But at the time the United States should be afraid of local workers their wages because of the involvement of these new immigrants to the exclusion of them. Many stores have hired some of the Irish people are not. In addition, the Irish Catholic culture has also become a time of hardship. Irish people like to put their children studying in schools run by the church, and refused to public schools. What will be loyal to the United States or Ireland, the Church of Rome, the locals do not know. Mob burned down in 1834, Ursuline convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts. There 1844, the local mob burned down in the Philadelphia suburb of the Catholic Church because of disputes which the two versions of the Bible in the public schools.
