The Great Irish Famine
Millions of Irish people starved to death, were evicted from their homes, or emigrated during the Irish Famine (also known as An Gorta Mor "The Great Hunger") of 1845 to 1850. Study units discuss factors that led to the tragedy, including penal laws, racism, and mass evictions. Additional units cover mortality rates and emigration statistics and conditions. Actual journal accounts and poetry about the famine are also included.
