Why should I care about this website?
Many people should care about this because it is dedicated to an extremely important time in American history. Many Irish and German people left their homelands for new opportunities in an unknown place. They were also very important helping America to progress by helping them expand west, abolish slavery, and help Women's Rights. Lots of Americans are also descended from these two ethnic groups today.
About:
This website was created as a school project. It is meant to document and show the struggles, successes, and lives of an extremely important but polarizing time. It is also made to educate in hopes that the discrimination against the Irish and the Germans may never repeat with the new immigrations to America today.
