Notably, the first parade (1917) was over half a century after the 1840s famine. Many Irish had already moved across the Midwest and Great Plains. Those still on the seaboard had already established themselves in both enclaves and local government. Assimilation, or more accurately cultural diffusion since Irish culture heavily influenced the US as well, takes time.

Scots-Irish soldiers. The original celebrants were Protestant Scots-Irish who would go on to play a great role in the American Revolution. At this time, Catholic Irish were mostly indentured servants who were prohibited from any cultural expression including their religion. ,

Why do you show a modern day map of North and South Ireland @ 0.42 when you talk of emigration? Emigration happened way back when the entire land of Ireland was a single country governed by Great Britain. Emigration was also a consequence of how they governed the country through religious and political suppression and a landlord system of induced poverty, principally by British landlords.

Corporate booze manufacturers, the same reason Cinco de Mayo later went global.

And it has been established the first Patrick's day parade was in the Caribbean where Cromwell sent Irish captives as slaves in the 1600s . Are you looking to inform people or just trying to cash in on your name and Patricks day.

Ma come la storia tutti richi e noi sempre più poveri dimi tu

“St Patrick’s Day as we know it was invented in America”. Only a British magazine could come up with this cynical tripe. St Patrick’s Day has been a religious and secular day of celebration among the Irish for centuries. Whether the our Irish contingent in the US added marching bands to it is irrelevant- the feast day of St Patrick AND the communal celebrations are much much older than the United States. I get that the Economist was just trying to put an economic history spin on things, but this is a very poor advertisement for its journalism. Which in this case is third rate at best.

"no mention of why the Irish were forced to migrate" She does mention it, but probably takes her account from English history books-she calls it a "famine" instead of the genocide it was. My English friends were amazed and shocked when I showed them how Ireland had plenty of food at the time the potato failed, but the English continued exporting the rest while starving 1M+ of the native population to death and forcing another 1M+ to emigrate. There's never been a mention of this in English secondary school history books, altho it is apparently acknowledged in University-level history. Same can be said about Churchill's 1943 Bengal genocide, and countless others. Anyone with doubts who wants to do quick research, I suggest checking out Sir Charles Trevelyan.
