New Video Series Explores the Historic Irish Influence on American Politics
University College Dublin’s (UCD) Clinton Institute has partnered with EA WorldView to launch a new educational project. The collaboration has resulted in an eight-episode video series titled 'Ireland and the Making of America.'
The series examines the deep historical connections between Ireland and the United States. Specifically, it focuses on how Irish immigrants and their descendants played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of the United States over several centuries.
Through these episodes, viewers can learn about the various ways the Irish community influenced American government, policy, and social movements. The project aims to provide a detailed look at the cultural and political exchange that has defined the relationship between the two nations for generations.
This series serves as a valuable resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the global impact of the Irish diaspora. By highlighting these stories, the Clinton Institute hopes to offer a clearer understanding of how Irish heritage remains a vital part of American history today.
The full series is now available for the public to watch online. It represents a significant effort to document the long-standing ties between Ireland and the U.S. through modern digital storytelling.
