Product Description
Ireland under the Union was a land which most people wanted to leave. In this pamphlet, David Fitzpatrick tackles several questions about Irish emigration. Who left? Why? How? He also stresses the far-reaching consequences for the United States, Britain, Canada, Australasia and above all, Ireland itself. Emigration is treated as one of the great formative factors in modern Irish history.
