__A Sea of Green: The Irish Immigration__ Objective- The student will be able to... 1) Examine the effects of the Irish Immigration  2) Tell why the Immigration was necessary to both the United States and Ireland

Answer to Objective- 1). Effects were Rapid Irish immigration effected America's cities culturally; bringing catholic settlements (upsetting many protestants/Nativists), It's economy; bringing more cheap labor for the metal industries, textile, and railroad building; and forcing It's schools to "adapt" to the new Irish students.    2).
