A large chunk of the Irish that emigrated to North America in the 19th century was due to An Gorta Mor, or the Great Hunger. The shortage of the potato crop left Irish farmers starving and out of work. To find work they often went over seas to England or America.
After the famie emigration kept up as well. This was largely due to the lack of prospects and unemployment in rural Ireland in the 19th century. Large scale emigration continued until the 1920s.
