Irish

Irish From the beginning of time, the Irish have played a vital role in the history of the world. But their past is spotted with feelings of ill repute and hatred from other racial and religious groups. Many times, their accomplishments have been left out of history books. Their stories blend with those of the Anglo-Saxon and they are not distinguished as a group with their own ideas and culture. But despite the fact that their history is not as well known as many other cultures, the Irish have truly helped to form the United States into what it is today. For centuries after the first settlement of the New World, Ireland sent large groups of newcomers to the colonies and to the United States (Glazier, 454). But the first settlers in the New World in the mid-seventeenth century did not receive a warm welcome from the English. “The Irish were the first unwanted aliens in the new republic, the first targets of hate and violence” (McCaffrey, 6). They were called savages based on the reason that they had a very different way of life.
