  13. The Irish In 1845, a famine known as “potato rot” swept through Ireland. For five years, the potato crop was undependable. Many Irish farmers were barely surviving as it was, this made things unbearable. Millions of Irish immigrants came to the U.S. during this time.

  14. African Americans in the South The American Civil War ended slavery as an institution, but that did not mean all problems were solved. Most African Americans in the South had few opportunities to find good jobs and few personal freedoms. In the early parts of the 1900’s, around 6 million African Americans moved to northern, urban cities to find jobs. This was called the Great Migration.
