Irish Americans in the American Civil War
Irish-American Catholics served on both sides of the American Civil War 1861-1865 as officers, volunteers and draftees. Immigration due to the Irish Great Famine 1845 - 1852 had provided many thousands of men as potential recruits although issues of race, religion, pacifism and personal allegiance created some resistance to service. In addition very large numbers of Scots-Irish Protestants were involved in the work, especially the Confederacy.
== Pre-1861 Irish immigration ==
Although Irish immigration to the United States has taken place since colonial times (Six Declaration of Independence signers were of Anglo Irish or Scots Irish descent and Andrew Jackson was partially Scots Irish),〔(Irish Americans - Google Books )〕 worsening conditions (under British rule) in Ireland-especially the Great Famine-caused many Irish to emigrate in the mid-19th century.
An Irish immigrant, having suffered through an arduous overseas journey,〔 would have been thrust into a difficult and unfamiliar situation, as many were poor and unused to American customs.
Soon, however, the number of Irish-Americans in some cities grew so great that immigrant Patrick Murphy stated "New York is a grand handsome city. But you would hardly know you had left Ireland."〔 American customs, once utterly foreign to the immigrants, became blended with traditional ones, forming a distinct Irish-American culture.
