2 gen 1850 anni - 1850 - INFLUX IRISH IMMIGRATION

Descrizione:

The early years of Chicago coincided with the significant rise in Irish immigration in the 1830s. Some Irish already lived in Chicago when it was incorporated as a city in 1837. In the next few years Irish numbers grew rapidly particularly after the arrival of refugees from the Great Famine. By 1850 Irish immigrants accounted for about 1/5 of the city's population.
