Patrick Young

The Effect of the Civil War on Irish Immigrants 

Young will discuss the effect of the Civil War on Irish immigrants; their participation in the military; the effect of the massive loss of life on the Irish in the U.S. and on their families at home. He will talk about the politics of war from the decision to join the army, to the resistance to the draft, to the NY Draft Riots. Woven throughout are stories of nuns, revolutionaries, laborers and their wives, and others. Young, who is a Special Professor of Immigration Law at Hofstra University, writes the online series The Immigrants’ War and publishes the Reconstruction Era blog.
