For school, I am writing a fake letter as if I'm an Irish immigrant who came to America (around 1847), back to my fake Irish family. I'm suppose to tell them of my journey...
So, what was the journey like for an Irish immigrant coming to the U.S. back then? Like, they got on a boat and then what? How did some come legally/illegally, etc? What was it like once they got there? Where in the states, did most arrive?
If you have details/ideas that would help, I'd be grateful if you shared them!
Thanks! :)
