How is this map different from a typical map of the United States?

I couldn't get the map to paste here but it is of the Eastern United States with all the states names crossed out and Irish names put in. circa 1900's

I think it was during the potato famine when Irish immigrants were arriving in the United States in large numbers and people then thought the United States would be overrun by the Irish and the names of everything would be changed to Irish namnes.

You may well be right about people's fears that immigrants, lots of them from Ireland, would overrun the country. Look up when the potato famine was, though. The map may be from the early 1900s, but, if so, not about the potato famine in Ireland.

thank you

You're welcome. :)
