Settlement

  The Irish usually migrated to the same places over and over. Some Irish immigrated to Canada because the fare there was cheaper; although, some Irish remained in Canada, some wanted to come move to America (Santry, 2008). When living in America the Irish families usually settled in poorly environmental cities along the north eastern coast. It was usually New York and Boston along with Canada. Since many Irish came to these places they encountered discrimination as the cities were being over populated with Irish. When arriving the Irish would fall among awful landlords that would give them cheap housing and would pay $1.50 for every family (The History Place,2000). The Irish were becoming even more unwanted by New Yorkers because they began obtaining the jobs that these New Yorkers would usually receive.
