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.
