Hard Times in Ireland: Primary Sources of Immigration and Migration in America - Historical Research & Genealogy Resource for Irish-American Heritage Studies

Product Description

Students will learn about the history of the people that came to be known as Scotch-Irish as they move from Scotland to Ireland and finally to America. Persecuted for their religion and harassed by rack-renters, the Scotch-Irish strove to make a better life for themselves. When they made their way to America, they settled, farmed the land, and fought for American independence alongside other people who believed in the ideals for which America stood.
