starvation, disease, or emigration to England and America. The Irish grew resentful of the British rulers, who the Irish felt did little to help bring relief during the difficult time. It was this tragedy that spawned the rebirth of Irish Nationalism within the souls of the citizenry. The Irish were becoming more interested in bringing back their true Irish Identity.

The Irish and Chinese immigrants during the 1950’s were subjected to cruel judgment and unjust regulations. Even though both of these races had such a major impact on American history, they were once seen as an invasive species that were sucking up all available jobs.
