haish....this place is so potato-less, my family is dying due to starvation and weird food that the British provide us with. I'm moving to the Americas for a better future! So long fellas.
:D
An organism called 'phytophthora infestans', Historically known as 'blights' ruined and infected the leaves and crops. Many potatoes were rotten due to this and it lasted for about 7 years. The infected potatoes were too hideous to eat
next destination: north america
.
People who accidentally ate the potatoes died from it. The British tried to find a solution to solve this famine but all they provided was imported corn. Many people were starving as they didn't know how to cook other food other than their main source, potatoes.

The fortunate people wanted to flee away from Ireland due to its horrific famine and a serious case of starvation and malnutrition. Therefore they traveled to America or other parts of Europe

They traveled using boats and ships to Europe or places with better agriculture and healthier crops that is more reliable.
