By the same token. of all the nations on earth. it is America that has profited most from the influx of Irelands manhood and womanhood. From 1700 to 1789 more Irish arrived in America than any other one nationality. Prior to the American Revolution. there were nearly 100.000 nativeborn Irish living in the Colonies. Between 1820 and 1860. nearly 2.000.000 Irish immigrants came to the United States. Our country has been repaid many times over. both in peace and in war. for her warm welcome. Some of her most famous sons have proudly looked to the Emerald Isle as the home of their ancestors.
