Question 3 • LPS US History I (CR) - MP1

Where did most Irish immigrants settle between 1820 and 1850?

Answer
A
on farms in New England
B
in cities on the East Coast
C
on farms on the western frontier
D
in rural areas of the South

Explanation

Most Irish immigrants who arrived between 1820 and 1850 settled in East Coast cities, where they could find work and join established immigrant communities. Many were poor and did not have the money to buy farmland, so farms on the frontier or in New England were less common destinations. The correct choice is “in cities on the East Coast.”
