Answer:

  • Ireland to flee a potato famine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Another real flood of migration happened from around 1815 to 1865. Most of these newcomers hailed from Northern and Western Europe to escape a potato starvation.

Around 33% originated from Ireland, which experienced a massive famine in the mid-nineteenth century. During the 1840s, practically 50% of America's foreigners were from Ireland alone. These Irish workers settled close to their purpose of entry in urban areas along the East Coast.
