Well millions of Irish 🇮🇪 fled to America 🇺🇸 in the 1800s and 1900s, that's why. A lot were fleeing the great potato 🥔 famine. Also, Think how many US presidents have been of Irish descent, including the current 1... 😏

Your guess is correct mate 😔 A great famine swept the county in the 1800s because of... Yeah us! 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cos of that a huge number of Irish fled in the 1800s, as part of the many more European immigrants who also fled to the USA 🇺🇸 - Most, if not all landed in Statten Island New York

Too many down sides to the empire we once wielded - down below are a few such examples Cultural genocide, mostly in the name of religious zeal 😔 "civilising the natives" Mass slavery from West Africa 😞 Extraditing "criminals" to Australia from the UK on ridiculous charges in Kangaroo courts List goes on!
