Abstract:
Irish Immigrants in the Land of Canaan is a study of early Irish Protestant and Catholic immigration to America. It explores why the immigrants left, how they adapted to colonial and revolutionary America, and how their experiences shaped society, and created modern Irish and Irish-American identities, in America and Ireland alike.
