Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between the Irish community and the broader societies of both British and Republican North America in the mid-19th century. The author, writing in 1866, argues that the perception of Irish immigrants in America is often distorted by preconceived notions and misinformation. He challenges the romanticized view of America as a land of opportunity for the Irish, highlighting the harsh realities of poverty and exploitation that many face in large cities like New York. The author, however, also offers a more optimistic view of the Irish experience in British America, particularly in Canada, where he believes they have achieved a greater degree of social and political integration. He contrasts the "town Irish" in the United States, who he sees as largely marginalized and exploited, with the "settled, well-ordered country Irish" in Canada, who have established themselves as landowners and active participants in their communities. The author emphasizes the importance of loyalty, faith, and hard work in building a positive future for Irish immigrants, and he encourages those who choose to emigrate to consider the opportunities offered in British America. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the experiences and challenges faced by Irish immigrants in North America during a pivotal period of history, offering valuable insights into the complexities of identity, assimilation, and political belonging.
