How would you describe the life of an Irish immigrant in America?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Impoverished, segregated, and very poor working conditions.

Explanation:

Irish immigrants lived in poor housing blocks called tenaments and they were isolated from much of the rest of society in terms of where they lived. These tenaments were poorly constructed and disgusting.

The Irish also were used as scabs in factory (meaning they replaced striking workers) or they were chosen outright instead because they were willing to work for less. They were paid little and the conditions were awful and dangerous.
