More Irish in America than Ireland.

There are more people of Irish descent living in the United States today than in Ireland. Few Irish immigrants existed in the British colonies before the American Revolution. However, after nearly one-quarter of Ireland's population either starved to death or died of fever and disease as a result of the Irish Famine of 1845 to 1850, there was a huge emigration of Irish to America.
