regarding slavery, monetary inflation, and
antagonism to womens basic rights ...

Introduction When I was in Ireland in 1997, I
learned one important thing within few days: Do
not ask, talk or enter into discussions about the
contentious issues of politics and religion, and
so I did not. However, it is impossible to touch
Irish ground without also touching the fringes of
what is popular referred to as the Irish Question.

Irish Migration To Quebec
1,374 words
To know why the Irish left Ireland, one must look
at what was going on in Ireland from approximately
1815, a time before the famine began, to 1854 when
the famine came to an end. Firstly, the Irish
population had been steadily increasing from 2. 8
million in 1712 until an estimated 8. 5 million in
1841. This naturally led to harder times as
families had more children to support. There also
came a decline in agricultural prices, leading the
average farmer's income to decline as well. There
was a ...
