‘Are you saying the Brits didn’t conduct a campaign against innocent Irish citizens? Who was responsible for the famine?’
No, they didnt. The worst that can be laid at Britain’s door 1845-48 is incompetence.
Britain in fact bought millions of tons of grain in 1846 at the nation’s expense and sent it to Ireland to allievate the suffering.
And here is the big ‘secret’ that Irish-Americans and Irish Nationalists ignore about the famine:
Irish Protestants died.
Lots of them.
‘protestant’ Ireland was hit as hard as other areas.
The idea that Britain deliberately starved the Irish is a nonsense.
Queen Victoria donated 1 million pounds (a huge amount in todays currency) of her own money to Irish famine relief.
