One aspect not mentioned here was the number of evictions which took place during the famine, over a quarter of a million people were removed from their homes, they found what refuge they could in the fields and roadside hedges, the landlords agents made sure they wouldn`t regain entry to their abodes, when they had them flattened to the ground.
All in all the British should have been proud of their handiwork, the fools gloated in their mistaken belief that the Irish had gone the way of the red Indians, thanks to brave men that never happened.
