Información

Descripción
St. Patrick’s Day has become a favorite day of celebration for millions of Americans, both Irish-Americans and the non-Irish alike. Perhaps that’s because there were many waves of immigration to the U.S. from Ireland and now about 32 million — or 10 percent of the U.S. population — claim Irish ancestry. This quiz, from the Ashbrook Center at Ashland University in Ohio, provides an opportunity to test your knowledge of the migration of the Irish to America and the impact they have had.
