The Irish Famine of 1846-50 took as many as one million lives from hunger and disease, and changed the social and cultural structure of Ireland in profound ways. The Famine also spurred new waves of immigration, thus shaping the histories of the United States and Britain as well. The combined forces of famine, disease and emigration depopulated the island; Ireland's population dropped from 8 million before the Famine to 5 million years after.
The Facts During the Great Famine of the 1840's in Ireland, thousands fleed for America Many fleed to Boston, and in one year Boston's Irish population jumped from 30,000-100,000 Looking for labor many Irish turned to servitude. Bostonians believed that the Irish were a servant race. 2  Bostonians called their Irish female servants the bridgets or biddys and the males paddys.Many Irish named their children after the two popular Catholic saints however the names carried derisive connotations in America and many tried to erase that legacy.
