Read. "the Great Hunger" by Cecil Woodham Smith. It details the actions taken by the British government. Parliament applauded when told of the deaths. British landlords wanted to clear their lands of tenants and graze cattle instead. The actions of the government intensified the misery of the people. Highly recommend this book.
