Irish immigrant during the Industrial Revolution?

Question

I need to write a poem/song about the journey of an Irishman from Ireland to America during the Industrial Revolution, and I don't know where to begin. If someone could tell me a little about what that journey might have been like, I'd be very greatful!

Answer 1

You'd be best doing your own research, not asking someone to give you all the answers. Its obvious that your teacher's intent with this assignment is for you to do some reading and research, two skills that are very necessary in life. On top of that, it is important to understand something of the history of the U.S., and the various waves of immigration.
