What was the bigest push factor for the irish to move to america

Answer 1

Answer: Potato Blight, I think lol

Explanation: The Irish and Germans both were motivated to travel to America due to the hopes of a promising dream-like society full of prosperity and equality. In Ireland almost half of the population lived on farms that were less than prosperous, producing little income. Because of their poverty, most Irish people depended on potatoes for food.

Answer 2

Many Scotch-Irish immigrants were educated, skilled workers.
