The Irish Famine of the 1840s was a bleak and devastating period for Ireland. It led to a large exodus of people who sought a better life in America. The large scale of people meant that inevitably Irish men and women went on to become some of the most influential people in America.

Not only has America been shaped by Irish heritage and history but also the rest of the United Kingdom in so many fields from literature (Oscar Wilde) to science (John Tyndall) the list is impressive.
