Why do the Irish have a favorable impression of the United States?

Nearly 50 million Americans among the 300 million people in the United States have Irish ancestry, including the Kennedy family and some people with high status in the United States. Even Obama also has Irish ancestry (his great-great-grandfather is The Irish!

There are historical reasons why Ireland hates Britain:

In 1801, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was established, and Ireland was officially annexed by Britain! In 1844, the Great Famine spread to Ireland! ! Ireland asked Queen Victoria for help, but the Queen not only refused to rescue Ireland, but also shipped all the calves and food produced in Ireland to England! Even the Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire: Abdullah Mecid I asked for help. Donated 10,000 pounds to the Irish victims, but Queen Victoria asked the Turkish Sultan to donate only 1,000 pounds, because she only donated 2,000 pounds!

During the Great Famine, due to the reduction in land production, landowners Large-scale expulsion of tenant farmers. From 1849 to 1854, 250,000 Irish people were expelled. Under this situation, Ireland began to immigrate to the United States, Canada and Australia! The Great Famine reduced the Irish population by 20%-25%. Before the famine, Ireland was the most densely populated place in Europe, with a population of nearly 8 million. However, today the population of Ireland is only more than 4 million.

Most Irish people believe that the British took advantage of the famine to commit genocide against the Irish! There is also the issue of Northern Ireland independence! So Ireland still hates Britain to this day!
