I would say that the potato famine in Ireland in the mid-1800's was rather than a pull phenomenon was a push phenomenon to push the affected people to seek a better life in this case in the US. Over 1 million Irish emigrated to the US at this time, some of them settling in Boston.

The statement is - True.


The potato famine in Ireland in the 1800's had a devastating effect on the Irish population. Two of the biggest consequences were:


1. Starvation; because of the potato famine around one million people had died from starvation which is close to 1/8 of the total Irish population in that period, and most of the population in the country was on verge of dying from starvation and barely made it through.


2. Migration; the potato famine caused a mass migration from Ireland towards the USA in order to have a better life or at least food on the table. It is estimated that probably around two million Irish people migrated to the USA in this period which is staggering almost 1/4 of the total Irish population.

Farm & ranch families account for roughly how much of the US population?
slavikrds [6]
<span>As of 2016, farm and ranch families made up only two percent of the total US population. The amount of farmer and ranching families has declined at a fast pace since it's peak in 1935. In the last twenty years most of the decline can be blamed on how little farmers and ranchers make from the food they grow or raise. Farmers and ranchers only receive, on average, sixteen cents for every dollar that is spent on food in both grocery stores, down from about thirty-one cents for every dollar in the 1980's.</span>
