Ethnic Characteristics of Irish

The period "Black Irish" was utilised to differentiate from the "noble" Irish, i.e. the families of the Protestant Norman English settlers (Jones, 1965). Life in Ireland at that time was cruel, so it was not a pleasant event to migrate to America, so it was considered as the American “Wake” for those people who considered there selves as they will never see Ireland again.
