Happy St
Patrick's Day to you! This saint is celebrated by all the people from Ireland
and with Irish ancestry. This day is popular in America, because there are 32
million of them there (compared with less than 5 million in the island of
Ireland). Why did many people leave their homeland in days gone-by? Men went to
the first colonies as Catholic servants. Then Oliver Cromwell conquered Ireland
and sent 8000 prisoners of war. In the 18th century many Presbyterians
migrated. Later the Potato Famine forced the people to go. Then they followed
the American Dream. Perhaps they saw an advert like this one that urged
Cornishmen to go to Australia.
