The famine that afflicted the country in 1879-80, one generation removed from the catastrophic Great Famine of the 1840s, prompted different social responses. The wealthier sectors of society, their consciousness and humanitarianism awakened, provided the bulk of the financial and administrative support for the famine-stricken peasantry. Others, drawn from the same broad social stratum as the latter, vented their anger and frustration on the government and the landlords, whom they blamed for the crisis. The concern of marginal men and women for the welfare of their less fortunate brethren was not so much the antithesis of altruism, as a different, more rudimentary way of expressing it"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Ireland $x History $y 1837-1901. 650 0 $a Land tenure $z Ireland $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Famines $z Ireland $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Humanitarian assistance $z Ireland $x History $y 19th century. 610 20 $a Land League (Ireland) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103011729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=69DD5E5A627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
