Over a million people are said to have died of hunger in Ireland in the late 1840s, on the doorstep of the world's richest nation. Ideology helped the ruling class avoid grappling with the problem of mass starvation.
In the GREAT IRISH FAMINE , or� THE GREAT HUNGER as it has become to be known,between 1846 and 1851, an additional some two million emigrated, MAINLY TO AMERICA in a period of a little more than a decade (1845-55). Comparison with other modern and contemporary famines establishes beyond any doubt that the Irish famine of the late 1840s, which killed nearly one-eighth of the entire population, was proportionally much more destructive of human life than the vast majority of famines in modern times.
Falmouth Kearney, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S great, great, great, grandfather left Moneygall, County Offaly, Ireland and sailed to New York at this time, like so many others to escape the HUNGER AND DEATH around him.
