Irish nationalism in America

Irish nationalism in America refers to the efforts by Irish immigrants and their descendants to preserve Irish culture, influence Irish independence movements, and advocate for Irish interests from abroad. Rooted in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was driven by a desire to support Ireland’s struggle for independence from British rule. In the U.S., Irish communities formed organizations, such as the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and participated in political activism and cultural events. While primarily focused on Irish political causes, it also reinforced Irish identity and solidarity among American Irish populations during periods of political upheaval in Ireland.
