Answer:

Irish

Step-by-step explanation:

Ireland's 1845 Potato Blight is often credited with launching the second wave of Irish immigration to America. ... Living conditions in many parts of Ireland were very difficult long before the Potato Blight of 1845, however, and a large number of Irish left their homeland as early as the 1820s.
