Why Were the Irish Once Hated in America?

Irish Need Not Apply. Remember that time most of America just didn't like those pesky Irish? Most don't. So let's talk about the era when the Irish horde was the 'biggest' threat to American decency.

@@allypaige124 Lol ok Donald Trump, why don't you cry about it some more. "NOBODY has been treated worse in history than me!" The Irish were never involved in chattel slavery, except as slavemasters once they immigrated to the United States. Being a second class citizen, while certainly undesirable, is not the same thing as being a slave. Also, if you want justice, go talk to the British. Why should America give the Irish a goddamn thing, since we weren't the ones oppressing them? America DOES owe black people justice and reparations, because this entire country was built on the unpaid labor of their ancestors. But we don't owe the Irish anything, except maybe a potato or two.

Lastly the barbary slave trade happend 100 years before the Atlantic slave trade it saw 1 to 2 million europeans took as slaves to north Africa. Yes slaves not indentured slaves. Why mention this? Cus ppl that tend to highlight the "indentured" bit tend to do so cus they try to diminish what's happend to the europeans. So now av mention barbary. We can not go down that route. To conclude. With out a shadow of a doubt if any of us now got forced into labour. And many of us died know one would be saying "indentured" Oh and who built usa.

It would've been nice if you mentioned how badly the Irish were treated during the Mexican/American war. They were placed on the frontline as living targets and shields for the Protestants; they were starved; their churches were burnt down; their women were raped, etc. All of this caused a sizeable amount of Irish to desert the US army and join their fellow Catholic Mexicans, flying the banner "Batallón de San Patricio" (Saint Patrick's Battalion) to fight against the Protestants who hated them so much.

@@CaptainCanuckk Mac and O' are both Irish prefixes. Mac is the Irish word for son. Irish mac was more likely to be anglicized to mc than scottish surnames so mc is more likely to be Irish than scottish. 2/3 of all mc surnames are Irish in origin. For example Scottish journalist macmasters changed his name to Mcmasters to appear Irish in the 19th century, stating that mc was Irish and mac was scottish, mc was almost exclusively Irish in that period. There's tens of thousands of popular Irish surnames that begin with Mc/mac, McCarthy is the 13th most popular surname in Ireland the only mc surname in Ireland which is in the top 20. In scotland Macdonald is the most popular mac surname in scotland in the number 9 spot, the only mac surname in the top 20. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_people Some popular Irish surnames (McCarthy, (McDermott), (McDonagh), (McNamara), (McGrath), Mcguire, (McInerney), (McEnery), (McLaughlin) also seen it spelled as O'Laughlin too, Mac Domhnaill (MacDonnell), Mac Mathghamhna (McMahon), (McGee), McEnery, mcguinness, mcNally, McGillian, McAuliffe, MacElroy, McEvoy, McManus, McFlannagan, McGillicuddy.MacCorcorans/ Ó Corcráin. Macaulay, Mac Maoláin. McEvoy, McCaffrey.McKeogh), McHugh, (McGovern), (McCormick), (McCann), McGinty, mcclearly. many many more. When I got to Ireland I tend to see half the surnames as mc and half as O, but in reality most are anglicized alot of us have generic surnames because of British rule. One of my ancestors had the surname David, but I discovered this was anglicized from Mcdavid or in its true form in Irish MacDaibheid.

England, after conquering the Irish stole their farms and homes and gave them to themselves and the Scots. For centuries it was against the law to educate Irish children and the only jobs they were allowed to hold were as laborers on farms that were stolen from them, or as storekeepers. Who could expect anything to come of a civilization growing up under restrictions like that? A million or more Irish died in the potato famine, some of whom died on the roads next to the fenced farms teeming with vegetables and sheep that used to be theirs. Their potato crops on the scraps of land where they could plant them had turned black and rotten for two consecutive years. My paternal grandmother left Ireland at the age of sixteen to come to the U.S. to get a job so as to keep her family in Ireland alive with the money she could send them. She found work as a housemaid for families in Connecticut and later moved to St. Louis to marry my Grandfather. She raised a big family who helped her build houses for rentals.

Early English accounts of Ireland are heavily biased and whilst the culture in the early Middle Ages was very different to many other parts of Europe including the church system, Ireland was at one stage between 600 and 800 AD a seat of academic learning and following this Irish monks are noted for establishing or assisting in the establishment of many of the prominent monasteries in Europe.

[@allanrichardson1468]

I’m old enough to remember how many Protestant Americans were actually afraid that Kennedy would rule as a puppet of the Pope. The one thing he did to debunk that fear was to defy the Vatican on the issue of government subsidies to private religious schools. Ironically, when John Kerry ran for President in 2004, the same party that had opposed Kennedy for BEING Catholic, and for allegedly planning to bring a Catholic theocracy to America, claimed Kerry was not Catholic ENOUGH since he would not go along with the (coincidentally same) Catholic and Evangelical position of banning all abortion. Kerry was being opposed by the same party for the OPPOSITE reason Kennedy was opposed! On other issues, however, extreme Evangelicals still hate Catholic theology and call the Vatican the “Whore of Babylon.” And converts to those churches sometimes say “I was raised Catholic but now I’m Christian.”

I see myself more as a Latino of Irish heritage than an Irishman born in Latin America. I guess many Hispanics with Irish roots see themselves the same way.

@gamescentrel Yes, I agree with you in that he Irish government should have more connections with the Irish descendants that live in the Caribbean. Also, it should educate the people of Ireland about a person from the Caribbean that was pivotal to modern Irish history. One such man was a Harvard high honor graduate from Puerto Rico named Pedro Albizu-Campos. Harvard University is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which in turn, is right next to Boston. The whole area has historically had a strong Irish presence. While attending Harvard in the 1910s and early 1920s, Albizu-Campos, of no Irish lineage whatsoever, became active with the Irish independence movement. Being so brilliant, he quickly moved to the higher echelons of the movement, and went so far up as to work side by side with Eamon De Valera who Albizu-Campos helped write the Irish Constitution. So yes, that same Constitution that protects the rights of the people of Ireland was partly authored by a Puerto Rican. There should be places in Ireland named after Pedro Albizu-Campos. Enjoy the Caribbean if you ever get to visit.

During the famine ireland was still exporting food to the english while forced to starve as they worked the land.

@Action Jackson I also have Aferican American and Irish in my family. Is that what you tell victim's of sex slavery? Sex slavery is not cattle slavery either, it's still slavery, sex slaves are mostly sold in the country they were bought and resided in before they were sex slaves slave's. The reason you see Irish slavery mentioned with cattle slavery, is because before the Irish became indintured servants they were bought and sold forced to do psychial labor in potato field's in Irland. No differently than a slave. After Great Briten lost their Irish slaves to servitude in Irland, they started selling the Irish into other countrie's as indintured servants. Then Great Briten went into Aferica to find more slaves bought their new slaves to the United States with their indgured servants. Having Aferican American and Irish in my family doesn't negate documented facts the Irish were slave's in Irland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Ireland

He should have been given citizenship in my opinion. The Irish were packed into ghettos and died like flies.

Also because of many Irish having curly hair and freckles, they were not considered to be pure Whites. Although very few Whites were considered pure, ( such as Italians, Germans and Spaniards), the Irish were treated like indenture servants. Even in Boston MA, they use to have signs that said; “Irish need not apply,” After a while things got better for the Irish in Boston. Many of them got into the nursing profession and turned around and became very racist towards Blacks. They made it very difficult for Black people to gain entrance into the healthcare professions. They mainly lived in an area called South Boston and behaved like the KKK. It seems people that have undergone oppression, just turn around and oppress others.

The leader of the 2nd biggest party here, ironically named ‘the party of freedom’ actually stated that he wants less moroccans and the crowd was sp enthousiastic... Discrimination is always scary and we should do everything to prevent it from happening. Also just want to let you know moroccan culture is mainly so rich and awesome, wear it like armor!!

It's great to see that America has learned from it's past and now welcomes you with open arms no matter your color, creed or religion.

[@Rumpfunk]

[@Rumpfunk]

[@ivanoherlihy2509]

During the Irish famine the exports of food increased. It is believed the English were trying to weaken the Irish as much as possible

@Hernando Malinche Well fuck you too

[@Crowebar100]

When i was in 2nd year my history teacher took our class to a small museum about the famine. And at the end the tour guide told us that the english were deliberately trying to kill off the irish during the famine buy stopping import of food, kidnapping children off the streets and shipping them to America. They dont tell you this in class

[@OldGreg817]

I love how each video I watch on this channel is a gamble. Will I be informed, will I see be following someone down the dark path of insanity? Only one way to find out!

[@haagjohnson2773]

Uhhh because they pinch everyone for not wearing green ffs

[@mrmaniac3]

Haag Johnson never done that in my life, but for some reason people pinch me for not wearing green... I'll show them.. I'll paint my car green and get a green suit with a green bowler, and I'll wear green socks, and drink green tea (though Irish breakfast tea is way better) and play a green piano. Just you wait, you pickle pinching bastards.

That's an American thing , it doesn't happen in Ireland

[@andrewheil1158]

Damn Leprechauns

[@mockdr]

I find Ireland and the modern history of Irish people incredibly fascinating. Where I live, most people I know are Irish. I’m a very, very proud Irish American!

[@voidlayern9368]

Yo can we see an alternate history scenario with the Cincinnati Vatican? That sounds fascinating!

[@Perririri]
