No, not at all the American expat community played a big role in helping finance paramilitary operations in Ireland. And to be honest I probably would have been happy to help.

I’ve only learned recently about the famines of the 1850’s in detail. “Let Them Die” was arguably the unspoken policy and I’ve heard opinions that all those deaths could be called Genocide by Inaction. That’s aside from what was done to those people through land ownership and rental schemes. Then they got here to the U.S., and were demonized by the locals… It’s like the Irish were the Syrians of the late 19th century.
