This presentation covers Irish migration history in Boston: from 17th-century indentured servants to 1718 Scot-Irish arrivals, pre-famine Catholic immigrants' challenges and anti-Irish sentiment, including events like Pope's Day and Ursuline Convent burning. It also explores post-famine immigration, settlement, work, assimilation, and Irish influence in Boston politics.
