"Padraic Scanlan’s Rot: A History of the #IrishFamine doesn’t seek to overturn this consensus but Scanlan’s central claim is in some ways an echo of Mitchel’s: although #Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, it was, he writes, ‘imagined, governed and exploited in strikingly colonial ways ... The famine – a complex ecological, economic, logistical and political disaster – was a consequence of colonialism.’ "

"British authorities regarded #Ireland’s misfortunes as evidence of the country’s incurable and willful medievalism [...] But as Scanlan is at pains to point out, the famine was in fact the result of forces within high #capitalism that were entirely modern [...] 'an unintended consequence of the increasing integration of global commerce.' "

On 23 March 1847, the Choctaws Nation took up a donation, raising approximately $170 ($5,000 in today's money), and sent it to the town of Midleton, County Cork for famine relief.
The donation came shortly after the Choctaw Nation had embarked on the Trail of Tears and the selfless nature of the gesture has created an everlasting bond between Irish and Native American people. 1/2
