The Great Potato Famine (Building a Nation)

Breanna zucco

The potato famine was so important because the

Irish had a big impact on Canada today. Firstly, it all
happened in 1846. The Irish left because the great
potato famine, and because where they were living,
they didnt have a good life so they moved to start a
better one and plant potatoes. Secondly, when the Irish
first planted the potatoes, the fields were very green
and were successful. But then a horrid blight appeared,
and little did the Irish know that. Thirdly, then the fall
came, and the Irish went to dig up the potatoes and
they were all gross and mushy. So the Irish had a hard
time surviving thrown out the winter. Most of the Irish
had to leave to start over again and they had to try to
survive without one of their main source of food. And if I
got to go back in time, I would probably tell the Irish
that moving to go to the potato famine was a bad idea
and would not work out.
