#CharlesTrevelyan, placed in charge of #famine relief by UK's #Liberal admin., on #ThisDayInHistory in 1846 wrote that the #Irish deserved to perish. "The great evil" was not the #PotatoFamine, "but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse, and turbulent character of the people."

Today, I'm thinking of my #Irish #ancestors who began arriving in the U.S. en masse during the #PotatoFamine. They faced immediate #bias and were threatened with deportation.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, my Irish brethren. 🇮🇪🍀
