Achievement

• What impacted the Irish immigrants is the great number of Irish who entered the United States from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries were changed by America, just as they changed this nation. They achieved lives that would not have been possible in Ireland, supporting their families and bringing a better life to their fellow Irish in the United States and in Ireland. In turn these immigrants contributed to the "American culture" in many ways. What also affected them was when the U.S. brought up St. Patrick day as one of their holidays for the irish people and they were probably offended the way they came up with name. Among the early immigrants to the United States, the Irish are now assimilated in all aspects of this nation, but they still retain pride and identity in their Irish heritage.
