The potato famine in ireland in the mid 1800s can be considered a “pull” factor that caused people to migrate to the u. s. true or false? provide evidence.

The correct answer is - False.

Pull factors are the reasons that attract people to migrate to a certain place.

The Irish famine, on the other hand, pushed away the Irish people from the country, thus being a push factor, not a pull factor.

The Irish famine was so devastating that big percentage of the Irish population died, and the rest of the people in the country were all starving and were on the verge of existence. That was very big push factor for the people to move away from the country, if nothing else, to at least have food on the table at another place.
