Amid the 1800s, migration for the most part originated from Germany and Ireland, especially after Europe battled through a progression of political and financial stuns and Ireland confronted a potato starvation in the 1840s. Nineteenth-century outsiders were to a great extent Catholic, and they settled at first in urban areas. The Irish basically settled in Northeastern urban areas, for example, Boston and New York, while Germans additionally settled in these urban communities and in Midwestern urban communities, for example, Milwaukee and St. Louis.
