The migration theory is the most likely as it was a common practise during this period. The feelings of tragedy may well be because, unlike today, those that left would often never be seen again. So people may have been expressing their lose of loved ones. When people started migrating from Europe to America similar feeling were felt by both sides as there was every likelihood neither would see the other ever again. So parting was often felt more like a bereavement. So it is quite possible that this concentration on the loss has grown out of proportion and distorted what actually happened.
