Early Irish Immigration in Maine Faced Widespread Prejudice
Students recount how Irish settlers arrived in Portland and Bangor starting in 1832 amid hostility from Maine’s Anglo population. Blamed for cholera, linked to Catholicism, and targeted by Know Nothing politics, Irish residents faced propaganda, violence, and bans while authorities debated entry and integration during the 1840s and 1850s. Notable figures include Bangor priest Rev. Father John Bapst who faced violent opposition over Catholic education.
